Vasily Vasilyevich Solyony

Solyony

also: Василий Васильевич Соленый, Соленый, Vasily Vasilyevich

A staff captain with a self-consciously Byronic, Lermontov-modeled persona -- abrupt, given to reciting verse and dousing his hands in scent to cover an imagined smell of death -- who declares his love to Irina, cannot tolerate Tuzenbach as a rival, and provokes the quarrel that leads to the duel in which he kills the baron.
