Alexei
also: Алексей
The narrator's valet, described as 'ever-meek, sleepy, and sanctimonious,' who undresses him at night, reports on the departed guests and Natalya Gavrilovna's fundraising totals (Sections 117-122), and later comes in repeatedly to trim the candles while the narrator pores over his wife's relief-fund papers, glancing at him strangely (Section 191).
