The colonel is first mentioned as expected at a party, then appears at the card table with Pierre, Count Rostóv, and a general. Beyond this brief participation in the gathering, the text gives him no developed personal history or arc.
Description
He is identified as a male colonel, but the text provides no specific description of his face, hair, eyes, complexion, build, age, or uniform. His military rank is the only visual cue, allowing for period officer’s attire without specifying its colors or details. He is seen among the company at a card table.
