About Me
I am a billionaire businessman who amassed a fortune in oil holdings and weapons sales, gaining myself a reputation as one of Russia's richest men. I finance a group of terrorists from an unnamed Russian province in Central Asia. Our homeland has been occupied by Russia for over 200 years, but myself and my followers wish to be free of Russian rule. The FSB initially thought myself to be merely a sympathizer for the separtists, but when I went underground three months prior to Day 5, they began to suspect that I was a terrorist.During this time I came into contact with an ex-CIA agent named James Nathanson, who arranged for his followers to obtain military grade Sentox nerve gas from Omicron, a leading defense department contractor. I had planned to use the gas for an attack on Moscow, but Nathanson had intended for the canisters to blow up while in terrorist possession in a plot to justify and develop an American interest in my homeland and its oil fields. I eventually found out about the doublecross and reprogrammed the failsafes for the gas canisters, but by this time CTU was looking for the canisters, making it difficult to smuggle them out of North America. This prompted me to adopt a second plan, where I would ambush the motorcade of Russian President Suvarov, who was visiting Los Angeles. I called President Logan, demanding that he give up Suvarov's motorcade route, in exchange for no American deaths. When the attack was foiled, due to the quick thinking of CTU, I told Logan their deal was off, and I would now commence attacks on American targets.After a diversionary attack on Tyler Memorial Hospital, I successfully deployed one of the canisters at CTU-Los Angeles, killing 40% of its staff. I then focused my energy on releasing the all but one of the remaining canisters at a natural gas distribution center, which would have the potential to kill approximately 200,000 people. A CTU team led by Jack Bauer eventually tracked me down to the distribution center, and blew up the facility to destroy the gas. I sought to escape in a stolen police car. Bauer saw me trying to escape and, seeing me as the only lead to the real mastermind behind Nathanson, attempted to give chase. Bauer forced me into the car, but as the plant exploded, the vehicle was pelted with debris. We survived, but I was knocked unconscious. My attack ultimately failed, since the gas was incinerated. Jack had me brought to CTU, so I could be questioned regarding my connection to Christopher Henderson. I regained consciousness three hours after capture.Around 3:30am, Karen Hayes authorized my transfer to a holding center where it was assumed I would be incarcerated until a complete interrogation could occur. As she left me, I spat at her and was led away. As I got into the transport vehicle, I saw the driver's face, and nodded to him, alluding that the driver was one of my men. I was freed when my remaining henchman ambushed the transfer convoy. We then proceed to use the last Sentox canister to take over a Russian submarine.
