Yermolai Alexeyevich Lopakhin

Lopakhin

A wealthy merchant whose father and grandfather were serfs on this very estate; he repeatedly and pragmatically urges Ranevskaya to subdivide the cherry orchard into leased dacha plots to save it from auction, is ignored, and ultimately buys the estate himself at the auction -- a triumph he greets with a mixture of exultant pride and visible discomfort at what it means for the family he genuinely cares for.
