There is a character in Joseph Conrad's novel "Under Western Eyes" (which is about Russian revolutionaries) named Nikita "Nekatur". Can someone tell me what the word "nekatur" might signify in Russian? It's something negative I assume, but beyond that don't know.

As it turns out, I believe Conrad had the English root "nekro" in mind, as in death. Thanks for the help everyone
