I'm sure he would.

[And don't worry, he probably won't let you do anything too dumb. Maybe.]

Honestly, the only thing that was really the same was his face... Personality-wise he's nothing like Alexei. He's the sort of person who really wants to help, and he seems to have problems with self-esteem... But he's practical, aside from the fact that he thought an exorcism might actually be worth a shot in the first place. Somehow that did actually work on the leylines, though? I'm still in shock from that.
