Biography

A One-Night Stand

40 years prior to the start of the storyline, Nikolai had a relationship with Malory Archer, where he may have possibly conceived Sterling Archer. However, as Jakov notes, this was the night before she broke his heart and disappeared for nine months.

The KGB Mole

Nikolai planted the KGB mole, Kremenski (who went by the name Crenshaw), in ISIS. Crenshaw had everyone in ISIS fooled for (presumably) years, until an issue with Archer's expense accounts forced Crenshaw to reveal himself, leading to his death.

Malory later stated that she would have known if there was a KGB mole, since she was having phone sex with Nikolai earlier that day.^[1]

Killing Utne

When Malory was holding a dinner party for Torvald Utne so that ISIS could get a UN contract, Nikolai hired Mannfred and Uta to kill Utne. However, it was later revealed that Nikolai also hired Elke Hubsch to kill Utne. When Mannfred realizes that "that Russian prick" sent two teams again, Uta suggests that they should kill both Hubsch and Utne.

Hubsch later received her orders from Nikolai via her cosmetic communicator. Sterling later found her cosmetic communicator in the bathroom, where Nikolai hastily turned it off. Sterling, believing that Malory put LSD in the baby aspirin again, states that is just "classic her".

After Hubsch was unintentionally poisoned by Uta, Utne is killed when Mannfred and Uta open fire on him. Mannfred and Uta manage to escape, and are thus paid for killing Utne.^[2]

Honeypot

When Ramon Limon steals a disk that (presumably) had a sex tape of Malory on it, Nikolai unsuccessfully convinces Malory to defect to the KGB should Limon not fall for Archer's honeypot.^[3]

The Chum Guzzler

Nikolai offered to take Malory on a date on his boat, the Chum Guzzler, while Malory watches over Lana Kane's mission to kill arms dealer Spirodon Skorpio.

When Skorpio's boat, the Argo, was destroyed, the propeller from the Argo landed on the Chum Guzzler, destroying it. Nikolai lamented that he probably lost the security deposit on the boat.^[4]

The Mind Control Chip

Nikolai hires Mannfred and Uta to capture Archer and insert a mind control chip into his brain so Nikolai could find out whether or not he was Archer's father. However, once the chip was in, several problems began to arise.

Archer escapes and attempts to kill Malory.^[5] However, Archer instead has the mind control chip removed, and a similar chip is used to dissuade ODIN head Len Trexler from buying ISIS.^[6]

Rona the Sleeper Agent

Nikolai is seen as his assistant, Boris, pretends to be a studio executive greenlighting Malory and Cyril Figgis' rewrite of Rona Thorne's movie Disavowed as a sequel to Mandigo called Mandingo 2: The Enslavening.^[7]

The DNA Test

When Archer attempted to find out if Nikolai was his father, he ended up being captured by the Finnish. Malory is forced to hire Barry Dylan to rescue him. Unfortunately, Barry ends up killing two Russian guards in the process, meaning that Nikolai couldn't let Sterling live even if he was his son. However, the DNA test ended up inconclusive, since Boris spit on the DNA sample.^[8]

Barry the Cyborg

After Katya Kazanova's defection, Boris reveals that he greenlit a project to turn Barry into a cyborg so that he could get a promotion. However, Barry ends up causing havoc in New York, meaning that Boris gets no promotion.^[9]

Defection and Death

Archer37 — Barry shows up at the ISIS safe house.

After Barry Dylan becomes the head of the KGB, he orders Boris to ship Nikolai off to Siberia. However, Boris instead ships Nikolai off to the United States, where Nikolai defects to ISIS. Nikolai is sent to the ISIS safe house, but without protection as Archer left to have sex with Pam Poovey. Barry manages to convince Cheryl Tunt to take him to the ISIS safe house, where he chokes Cheryl into submission and knocks Nikolai out.

Nikolai wakes up as he is being tied to a chair. Barry explains that finding out whether or not Nikolai is his father would give Archer some much-needed closure, which is precisely why Barry can't let it happen. Barry has a block of ice with a fork in it, placed inside a microwave with ten minutes on the timer, with a room full of methane. Barry then leaves Nikolai to die, with no remaining DNA for a DNA test.

Nikolai begins to leave Archer a message, though it is unknown what the message was. However, ten minutes go by, and the spark from the fork in the microwave creates a spark that ignites the methane and causes an explosion which kills Nikolai and may have destroyed the tape as well.^[10]

Personality

Trivia

Nikolai Jakov's name is meant to sound like "jack-off" as an inside joke. His military rank is Major, so when people call him Major Jakov it sounds like "major jack-off".
He has the same habit as Archer to refer to Malory's actions as "classic her", as well as cooking kebabs.
He chartered the boat Chum Guzzler in a failed attempt to impress Malory Archer. When it was destroyed he lamented that he probably had lost his security deposit on the boat.
According to ISIS's profile on Jakov, he is 5'11" and weighs 235 pounds.
Despite being the head of the KGB, it seems that Nikolai is just as poor as any other Soviet citizen and is extremely poor compared to other world leaders.
Nikolai is the only one of Malory's lovers that know that Sterling could be his. Despite his connection to the KGB, Archer still attempted to reach out to him as his possible father.

+==Biography==
+===A One-Night Stand===
-Nikolai was the head of the [[KGB]] and somewhat of an enemy of ISIS. Interestingly enough he has had a long (40 years to be exact) and tumultuous romantic relationship with the head of ISIS, [[Malory Archer]] and may be Sterling Archer's biological father. He has been behind numerous plots against ISIS, such as planting the mole [[Crenshaw]]; hiring [[Elke Hubsch]], [[Uta]] , and [[Mannfred]] to assassinate UN worker [[Torvald Utne]]; and later hiring Mannfred and Ute to plant a mind control chip in Sterling's brain. Despite these apparent villainous behaviors, Nikolai has a surprisingly friendly relationship with Malory. They frequently communicated through a large video screen link in their offices. Nikolai also seems to want to resume his relationship with Malory, once using a sex tape to try and blackmail her into getting back together with him in Russia. He also seems to want to very much be Sterling's father, though he admits he would gladly kill Sterling if it turns out he was not. Nikolai captures Sterling when he came searching for his father's identity, and Malory hired [[Barry Dylan]] to free him. The KGB capture Barry Dylan and convert him in a cyborg agent for themselves. Barry however has his own agenda in getting revenge on Archer and becoming head of the KGB in Nikolai's place. Nikolai decides to defect to the United States and gets protection from ISIS. He bonds with Archer during this time, but is ultimately killed by Barry in an explosion. Nikolai left a message for Sterling on a videotape, though it is unknown what it was or if it survived the explosion that killed Nikolai.
