Pryánichnikov appears only as a sixty-year-old serving under an older man from Catherine's era. Tolstoy gives him no individual actions, relationships, or later fate; his place in the narrative is a concise note on the persistence of old soldiers and old hierarchies.

Description

Pryánichnikov is described as a man of sixty, but the text gives no further physical portrait. His build, complexion, hair, eyes, facial features, and clothing are unspecified and should not be inferred.
