Boris Kashkoff is a mundane who trained for Ascension at the Shadowhunter Academy.
History[]
In 2008, Boris was recruited by Shadowhunters as a potential candidate for Ascension after their numbers were depleted during the Dark War. He was trained under the mundane stream at the recently-reopened Academy and was among the first batch of new students in decades.
After almost two years of training and lessons, Boris and nine other mundanes—including Simon, George, Marisol, Gen, Thomas, Sunil, and Leilana—were set to Ascend in 2010. However, the day before their Ascension, Boris chose not to go through with ritual, and left the Academy in the middle of the night. Everyone presumed that he had left due to fear of failure and the effects of the Mortal Cup. Sunil and Leilana decided to follow his lead and left the Academy the same evening.[1]
Physical appearance[]
Boris is said to have "ropy muscles and ruddy cheeks."
