<strong>Name:</strong>Alexi Sergiovich Korlov<br/><strong>Concept:</strong>KGB Agent who went Capitalist.<br/><strong>Description: </strong>178 cm tall, 80kg on a lanky, wiry frame.  He's fairly agile, turning into his mid thirties, and probably stronger than he actually looks.  Brown hair and eyes, and a generically bland sort of face.  He's not obviously Russian, or even Slavic- he could pass for most northern Europeans, and doesn't stick out in the crowd overmuch.  He dresses mostly in inexpensive, workaday suits.<br/><br/>Traits and Signs<br/><strong>Central Trait:</strong>KGB Field Agent. (Trained to operate as a "Legal Spy", handled other agents)<br/><strong>Side Trait:</strong>Surprisingly Athletic (Superior) (He didn't look that fast, or like he could hit that hard!)<br/><strong>Side Trait:</strong>Inductive Reasoner (Who needs all the facts, it's pretty obvious what's going on.)<br/><strong>Flaw:</strong>So Very, Very Paranoid. (The KGB doesn't forgive, doesn't forget.)<br/><br/><strong>Stuff</strong>A couple of pistols, surveillance gear, a cheap car.<br/><strong>Finances:</strong>If he can get to his Swiss Bank Account, pretty good.  Otherwise, it's what he's got in his pocket, or what he can steal.<br/><br/>Background<br/><strong>Motivation:</strong>Retire someplace warm and with easy women.<br/><strong>Secret:</strong>Not only did he sell out to the BND, he did something worse- he sold out to the GRU!<br/><strong>Important Person:</strong>Ivan Molotov, his old mentor, whom Alexi is sure he's disappointed.<br/><strong>Personal History:</strong>(More detail coming later, perhaps.)  Alexi was tapped by the KGB soon after he was conscripted into the Red Army.  He volunteered for, and made the cut into, an airborne unit after his induction.  After training and some time in an actual parachute unit, the KGB stepped in, ended his time in the army, and brought him into the Agency.  They taught him how to act as a legal spy- someone attached to the embassy in a mostly harmless role, running agents and providing clandestine support to various missions.  They also taught him German and English.  After a few years in Africa- essentially a breaking in period- they assigned him to a Soviet consulate in Hannover, West Germany.  He worked under Ivan Molotov there, where he polished his skills and, eventually, began taking on more and more independent work.<br/><br/>Unfortunately for the KGB, the USSR's efforts to warn Alexi about Capitalist Decadence only really made it interesting to him. His increasing lack of supervision made it possible for him to explore what the Imperialists had to offer- TVs, music, women, that sort of thing.  He found himself needing more money to enjoy himself... and that's when the BND found him.  The game could only last so long- the only surprise to Alexi now is that he's alive and in some sort of exile, and not floating face down in the harbor.
