Swashbuckling Russian thief from the comic strip of the same name in 2000 AD.

Set on Earth in 2668 AD, the series follows the exploits of Nikolai Dante, bastard son of the head of the fearsome Romanov dynasty & a female pirate.
He discovered his noble heritage after bonding with a Romanov "Weapons Crest" - a strange mechanical symbiont that becomes one with the user & can be manipulated by the user to change flesh into weapons.

Bawdy & funny, it plays a little like a Carry On movie on crack, although the tone of the series has shifted in recent months to become darker, more ambiguous as the Russia of the future is torn apart by bloody civil war.
