Background

Mikael was born in the city of Volgograd shortly after the first EuroWar, a time of strife, political change, and chaos for the Russian people. He watched as the AfA incited a second war, as the world tore itself apart to define who would reign as the its leaders. He knew war all his life and when he was ready, he threw himself headfirst into it. He joined the Russian army in 2052 and worked his way up the ranks through year after grueling year of military service, becoming one of the few selected for the prestigious position of a member of the Spetsnaz's Smerch Group, where he served as an assault and heavy weapons specialist. During his tenure as a Spetznaz operative he was known as "Leshi" and was notable for his abnormally high mission success rate, along with an abnormally high incidence rate of property damage and an above average civilian injury rate, making him infamous for his drive to complete the mission no matter the cost, even on one occasion sustaining injuries against more than 4 hostile shooters in order to save a teammate and on another detonating an explosive device that almost killed him in an effort to pacify an armed assailant. Eventually his destructive tendencies caught up with him and he was discharged in 2072 during a surface-level effort to improve the Red Army's image in the eyes of the Russian people, although his exploits (occasionally embellished) and his willingness to sacrifice anything for the mission is known to many soldiers in the Red Army, from fresh recruits to seasoned Spetsnaz operators. Following his discharge, he was despondent and even depressed and dealt with psychological issues, some of which he still struggles with, due to his extensive and violent military, service for the better part of a decade. Seeing few other opportunities at the of the dawn of a new decade, he sought to remake himself and began training anew with the intent to make a name for himself in the shadows in the only way he knew how: with overwhelming force.

Narrative Significant Qualities

• Battle Hardened 2- I, like you Americans say, "keep my cool" when under heavy fire.
• Disgraced/Solid Rep- I was discharged, shown off publicly as a badge of disdain and dishonor for the army, what they promise they won't do. They haven't stopped and they know it.
• My Country Right or Wrong- I would never hurt my mother country, not for any amount of nuyen. I may be soldier of fortune, but I am still soldier.
• Combat Junkie- People these days focus too much on "intricate plans" and "contingencies"; I say is much easier to simply crush enemies beneath boot like bugs.
• Impassive- People say "Mikael, you are too quiet." I say "you are too soft."
• Poor Self Control(Vindictive)- I have hit list and shit list. You annoy me, you are on shit list. You hurt me, you are on hit list.
