During his service, two military units considered him their own: Nemo first joined the Revansh tactical group, and later the 3rd Separate Assault Brigade, ultimately falling in action while serving in this unit. While saving a wounded comrade and despite receiving orders to retreat, he remained at his position to cover his team's withdrawal, saving many lives.
