I was born on November 3, 1967 in Petersburg, Russia. Born to a military family. At the age of eighteen, I was conscripted into military service just as the Soviet Union was ending its operations in Afghanistan. Upon the dissolution of my draft, I opted to enlist full time. I was part of the wrestling league, where my formidable frame and match strategy earned me accolades. Along with heavy artillery, my training focused on defensive and breaching tactics, and while there I apprenticed as a precision tool and die machinist in the weapons division. I applied for a transfer to the Russian Navy but for classified reasons remained in the Armed Forces. I was later transferred into the Spetsnaz shortly before the collapse of the Soviet Union. I would go on to marry and have kids, though the relationship later ended in divorce. I would later go on to join Rainbow sometime in 2015.

On November 13th 2016, I was declared clinically dead for two minutes following an operation on the field. During my recovery at Hereford Base, my mounted RP-46 Degtyaryov Machine Gun was modified by Mira to include a ballistic shield to prevent future injuries.
