When conducting formal business, Anatoli usually wears an expensive black and white three piece suit accompanied with a dark blue tie. When not doing business, he usually wears a blue button up shirt with the sleeves rolled up to his elbows, showcasing the tattoos on his arms.
 
[b]Distinguishing Characteristics:[/b]
Anatoli has a long, broad swathe of scar tissue above his right ear, stretching from the side of his forehead to just past his ear. Aside from the scar, the most distinguishing characteristic of the Russian mob boss are his tattoos. In the Russian underworld, tattoos are everything. Without tattoos, one simply did not exist. Being a boss of his own Bratva, Anatoli’s body is covered in a myriad of different tattoos, each one having a special meaning related to his background, personality, and criminal rap sheet. 
 
[b]Inventory:[/b]
Anatoli rarely, if ever, carries around a firearm with him. Despite this, he is not at all defenseless. Protected by four of his most trusted men at all times, Anatoli seldom finds the need to use a firearm, regardless of the fact that having one could help him greatly, especially in a city like Gotham. He does like to keep a switchblade with him at all times, apparently for nostalgia's sake, he says.

[b]Backstory:[/b]
Anatoli was born to a poor, working-class family in Moscow during the Cold War. Orphaned at a young age, he lived in the filth, mud and blood of Moscow's slums. Raised among thieves, Anatoli learned early that to get what you wanted, hurling bricks tended to work better than hurling insults. At the age of 12, he joined a small gang calling themselves the Vnokoveskaya Bratva. From a young age, Anatoli was already involved in many criminal activities with the Vnokoveskayas—running petty street scams, selling contraband cigarettes and fake lottery tickets, running extortion rackets, protecting the gang's brothels and even stealing cars.

Starting from the age of 16, he began working as an enforcer for the Vnokoveskaya, eliminating disloyal members within the gang and keeping the peace in many of the Vnokoveskaya's territories. During his time as an enforcer, there has been a total of six attempts on his life, with one of such attempt nearly killing him and giving him the iconic scar on his head. He earned the nickname 'Cockroach" for his habit of surviving the many attempts on his life.

He was ruthless and efficient, and his ascend through the ranks of the Moscow criminal underground was paved with blood, sweat and tears.

During the onset of the Soviet-Afghan war, the Vnokoveskaya expanded its activities to include drug trafficking as well, gaining much profits from the heroin trade within Afghanistan. As an enforcer, Anatoli was in charge with keeping the gang's dealers and drug mules safe. He gained a lot of friends and valuable connections within the heroin drug trade, which would help him immensely in the years to come.

By the age of 27, Anatoli had already served 4 prison sentences and built a reputation as a well-respected enforcer within the Moscow criminal underground. He was [i]crowned[/i] at the age of 31, gaining the stars on his shoulders and knees, which permanently marked him as a member of the vor v zakone. As a Vor, he began to rise fast in the Vnokoveskaya hierarchy, eventually gaining the rank of Pakhan at the age of 34 after killing the former leader of the mob with a rusty switchblade.
 
He would lead the Vnokoveskaya for the next 10 years, expanding the gang's criminal activities a tenfold. 

Were it not for Russia's crackdown on criminal organizations, the Vnokoveskaya would probably still be operating from Moscow. Unfortunately, it would not be so. With the FSB knocking at his door, Anatoli decided to gather his resources and move to a city he knew he would thrive in: Gotham.

[b]Gang Name:[/b] Vnokoveskaya Bratva
 
[b]Gang theme/motif:[/b] The Vnokoveskaya Bratva (Vnokoveskaya Brotherhood) is an independent Russian criminal organization that recently rose to power in the Gotham underworld. Much like the American-Sicilian Mafia, the inner circle of the gang is made up of made men (Vory v zakones, Thieves in law), whereas the bulk of the organization's manpower comes from associates (Shestyorka). In terms of outfits, Vors of the Vnokoveskaya Bratva are encouraged to wear the most expensive suits they could afford, whereas associates of the Bratva are free to wear whatever they want. One can also easily spot a Vor by the 8-point stars on his shoulders and knees. Members of the Vnokoveskaya are usually either Russians or those hailing from post-soviet states.
