Character Information

Summary

A hermetic adept, mentored by Raven, Chameleon is focused on infiltration. He has very good language and disguise capabilities. Although he is not a full blown social adept he has good social skills. A newcomer to the Seattle shadows he is eager to get established so that he can pursue inquiries into the death of his parents.

Goals

Long term: Find out who is responsible for his parent's deaths. Short term: Regain inner harmony through zazen meditation. Avoid Ordo Maximus.

Background

Vladimir was 8 years old when he understood that his parents were spies. His father Boris was a CIA officer and his mother Mary worked as an analyst for the Department of State. A year later he awakened and life became very interesting. After graduating high school he enrolled in the University of Toronto's Department of Linguistics. Vlad received both a BA and an MA in linguistics. After spending the summer in post- graduation celebration he started serious consideration of employment...and then the notification came. His parents had died in a fiery car crash after being forced off the road by another vehicle as they returned to Kirov from Izhevsk. After contacting Bill Cooper, a colleague of his father, he learned that there were several theories about the crash. The first (and most likely) involved state action by the Russian government in a counter- intelligence operation. The most likely agency would be the UGB. The UGB has primary responsibility for both foreign intelligence and internal counter-intelligence. Moreover the UGB is notorious for employing counter- intelligence assassination teams. Another possibility is the MVD which has primary responsibility for internal policing and security. The UGB and MVD are bureaucratic rivals so it is possible that it was an op to upstage the UGB. A non-state actor was another possibility although that seemed less likely. There were no apparent connections to the Vory or any corporate interests. There was, however, circumstantial evidence of a racist attack based on mistaken identity. There had been a spate of anti-semitic attacks in the region. His parents (both red heads) were returning from the annual red-head festival in Izhevsk. Bigots may have believed that their hair meant that they were Ashkenazi Jews (who have a high % of redheads)
