'''Dmitri''' was a human affiliated with the Russian military during the [[Golden Age]]. Previously lost to time after the [[The Collapse|coming]] of the [[Darkness]], his memory lives on in a scavenged field manual for the [[Khvostov 7G-02|Khvostov 7G]]-series [[auto rifle]], where he modified several instructions to better the seemingly incompetent rifle for his friend [[Vasili]].<ref name="One">'''Bungie (2016/20/9)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[Rise of Iron]] - [[Grimoire]]:[[Grimoire:Inventory|Inventory]]/[[Grimoire:Inventory/Primary Weapons|Primary Weapons]], [[Grimoire:Inventory/Primary Weapons#Khvostov Field Manual, pg. 1|Khvostov Field Manual, pg. 1]]''</ref>

Dmitri was a dedicated soldier and an adept weaponsmith. He showed great disdain for the weapons of war created by the governments in a time of peace, considering at least the service rifle of the Russian military to be inept when it came to overall performance.<ref name=Seventeen"/><ref>'''Bungie (2016/20/9)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[Rise of Iron]] - [[Grimoire]]:[[Grimoire:Inventory|Inventory]]/[[Grimoire:Inventory/Primary Weapons|Primary Weapons]], [[Grimoire:Inventory/Primary Weapons#Khvostov Field Manual, pg. 15|Khvostov Field Manual, pg. 15]]''</ref> By extension, he believed this impacted morale among his fellow soldiers.<ref>'''Bungie (2016/20/9)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[Rise of Iron]] - [[Grimoire]]:[[Grimoire:Inventory|Inventory]]/[[Grimoire:Inventory/Primary Weapons|Primary Weapons]], [[Grimoire:Inventory/Primary Weapons#Khvostov Field Manual, pg. 38|Khvostov Field Manual, pg. 38]]''</ref> Going out of his way, he concocted several modifications for the firearm, including a home-made and potentially corrosive cleaner.<ref>'''Bungie (2016/20/9)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[Rise of Iron]] - [[Grimoire]]:[[Grimoire:Inventory|Inventory]]/[[Grimoire:Inventory/Primary Weapons|Primary Weapons]], [[Grimoire:Inventory/Primary Weapons#Khvostov Field Manual, pg. 33|Khvostov Field Manual, pg. 33]]''</ref> Satisfied with his work, he passed the notes on to a fellow soldier.<ref name="One"/>

{{Quote|Best advice a manual will give you: tell the people you love that you love them.|Dmitri}}<ref>'''Bungie (2016/20/9)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[Rise of Iron]] - [[Grimoire]]:[[Grimoire:Inventory|Inventory]]/[[Grimoire:Inventory/Primary Weapons|Primary Weapons]], [[Grimoire:Inventory/Primary Weapons#Khvostov Field Manual, pg. 90|Khvostov Field Manual, pg. 90]]''</ref>

Long after the collapse of the Golden Age, Dmitri's notes were lost to time and scattered about the [[Cosmodrome]] of [[Old Russia]], reaching so far as what would later become the [[Plaguelands]]. Only after a [[The Guardian|particular Guardian]] unearthed a schematic for the aging rifle they first carried aboard a [[Fallen]] [[Ketch]] belonging to the [[Splicers]] of the [[House of Devils]] did they begin collecting these pages, which now found themselves being carried by the various horrors of the [[SIVA]]-infested winter landscape.<ref name="WFAR">'''Bungie (2016/20/9)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[Rise of Iron]] - [[We Found a Rifle]]''</ref>

Once the Guardian had completed the collection task, which also included various parts of the Khvostov rifle, Dmitri's notes in conjunction with [[Shiro-4|Shiro-4's]] weapon expertise would then result in the construction of an entirely new, but familiar rifle, the [[Khvostov 7G-0X]].<ref>'''Bungie (2016/20/9)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[Rise of Iron]] - [[Grimoire]]:[[Grimoire:Inventory|Inventory]]/[[Grimoire:Inventory/Primary Weapons|Primary Weapons]], [[Grimoire:Inventory/Primary Weapons#Khvostov 7G-0X|Khvostov 7G-0X]]''</ref>

==Trivia==
*Dmitri's notes missing various conjunctions and determiners is a very [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/GratuitousRussian common trope] for Russian-born characters portrayed in pop culture.
