Radich Nikoladze

Radich Nikoladze is the kingpin of the Dvali crime family that operates in the Czech Republic in the late. His office is in the backstage of the Dvali Theater in Prague.

Biography
Nikoladze has reigned as the leader of the Dvali crime family in Prague since at least 2024.

In 2028, Nikoladze is involved in a power struggle with his second-in-command, Otar Botkoveli. Nikoladze relies on his spies, Louis Gallois and Konstantine Zoidze, to fend off Otar. Unfortunately for Nikoladze, Zoidze dies in the Růžička Station bombing.

Nikoladze has a mechanical leg, which is a well-kept secret. According to Gallois, only four people know this fact (with Adam Jensen becoming the fifth, if he learns of it from Gallois or Václav Koller). Nikoladze gets his Neuropozyne from Gallois and has Koller maintain his mechanical leg.

Otar is aware that Koller is involved with Nikoladze, but he does not know why. Therefore, Otar sends his men to intimidate Koller by trashing Koller's bookstore, the Time Machine. When Nikoladze learns of this, he forces Otar to call back his men, informing Otar that Koller is merely "business."

If Jensen helps Otar by eliminating Gallois and forging an alliance between Otar and Máša Kadlek, then Nikoladze will be replaced by Otar Botkoveli as the Dvali leader. If Otar becomes the Dvali leader, he will comment that Nikoladze was killed in an "unfortunate accident."

At some point, Nikoladze makes a deal with Viktor Marchenko to smuggle the Orchid and the bombs into the Apex Centre in London. Jensen learns about this deal by either breaking into Nikoladze's office or directly from Otar (if Otar has become the leader of the Dvali), and immediately alerts Task Force 29 to head to London. After Marchenko's men attack the Apex Center, the Dvali crime family comes under intense scrutiny for their role in the London attack. If Nikoladze has remained as the leader of the Dvali's Prague chapter, Picus Worldwide News will report that Nikoladze has gone off the grid, and that it is unlikely he will ever be found.

Interactions
Nikoladze is mentioned in various Dvali correspondences throughout the game. During the second visit to Prague, Nikoladze can be seen inside the Dvali Theater and also makes an appearance in a video recording in M8: Tracking Down the Real Terrorists. Nikoladze can be ousted from power if Jensen completes SM09: All in the Family. He can also be killed directly inside the theater.

M14: Hunting Down the Final Clues – Nikoladze appears in this mission if he is still the leader of the Dvali by this time.
 * If Otar is still alive, Otar is seen questioning Nikoladze's decision in making the deal with Viktor Marchenko.
 * If Otar is dead, Nikoladze will instead be seen negotiating with Marchenko over the price of smuggling the Orchid and the bombs into the Apex Centre. Nikoladze tries to triple the price but eventually gives up and goes back to the original agreed upon amount.

Trivia

 * "Radich" is not a usual Georgian given name. In Georgian and other Slavic languages, Radich is a patronymic, surname or nickname, not a given name. The corresponding given-name form would be Radion, Radik, or other similar names.
