[b]Back to the basics[/b]
Sergei Mikhail Volkov
What I go by
Sergei, крестный отец / krestnyy otets (godfather)/ берущий / berushchiy (The Taker)

Age: 58
Birth Date: November 4 1957
Sexuality: Heterosexual 
I’m the Don, loyal and faithful to Obshina Bratva

[b]The Reflection in the Mirror[/b]
Height: 6’5
Weight: 250
Eye Color: Hazel
Hair Color: Brown (coloured)
Identifying Marks: bags under the eyes, slightly yellow and crooked teeth, usually arched brows, slightly visible scar on the bridge of his nose 

[b]Weaponry & Skills[/b]
Standard Weapon: AK-74M and Makarov pistol
Skills: very high level of fire arm skills due to long term experience. He has almost 4 years of military experience that he carries with him. Despite his experience, his old age does affect his ability and his melee combat skills are rather low. He is a smart fighter whenever he is faced with a physical skirmish but he is not as strong or as agile as he once was. He does try to keep up his body by exercising and working out but the reality is that his age is catching up with him. 
Strengths: smart fighter, high knowledge of weapons, sharp shot
Weaknesses: his age puts him at a disadvantage in terms of physical fights 

[b]Things I waste my Time With[/b]
Hobbies: likes to collect firearms, like to taste wine, likes to play cards, likes to spend money on his wife, likes to admire art
Likes: vodka (what else?), old American sitcoms, preserving his culture/language, turtlenecks, those who are loyal 
Dislike: drugs (however he will allow his family to deal them), minorities (however he will deal with them), communism, social leftism, liars, cheaters

[b]What I’m Really Like[/b]
Sergei is a rather hateful man. When he likes someone, he will show it with subtle hints and nods of approval but when he hates someone, it will be fairly easy to tell. And he sure hates a lot of people. Sergei is a white supremacist and rightist, hating everything left because of where he came from. He highly values his family, his children and wife taking top priority. He is mostly serious and smiles only on rare occasion. He is not necessarily fair and is known to pick favourites among his associates. He usually is open to suggestion and discussion but if he does not like what the person says, he will simply proceed in his own way. The only time he will express merriment is at the dinner table with a glass of alcohol in his hand, or alone with his wife. Other than that, he is strictly focused on business. 

[b]All About My Past[/b]
Sergei was born in the Soviet Union in 1957 to Grigory and Marika Markovic. He would be the second oldest child in a family of 4 siblings. The Markovic’s lived on a small piece of land in the Komi area and suffered most years. In school, Sergei was easily distracted by school yard fights, and violence. At the age of 13, he joined a sort of gang in his area. At age 16, he dropped out of school and joined the military two years later.  He was sent to East Germany to help control anti-soviet uprisings. Half way into his third year serving, he was growing fed up with his position and was secretly growing a distain for his country’s government. It was at this time, he received orders to be dispatched to Afghanistan to help with the invasion, within the next two weeks. Angry and not wanting to leave Europe, Sergei decided he would run away to America. During a heated moment with East German militants, Sergei escaped from the scene and became MIA. He arrived by boat, after bribing a French sailor to let him on, in 1980 at the age of 23. He landed in New Jersey but took a bus to New York because he was told there would be more opportunity for him there. From there, he was quick to find the Russian community in New York and even quicker to become involved in their street life. He changed his surname to Volkov to avoid any complications with his escape from the military. His loyalty and skills got him far up the ladder and he became very close to the Don at the time, Dmitri Orlov. When Dmitri died, Sergei assumed his role which only stirred complaints from 3 men who mysteriously went missing within the following week. The year was 1990. Prior, in 1984, Sergei met and married his wife Petra, a Russian/Czech immigrant who’s father worked alongside Dmitri and Sergei. Petra was pregnant with their first child when Sergei took the position of the Don. Since then, Sergei has fathered 6 children and the Volkov name is one to be feared.
