[hider=Vlad]
Name: Vladimir 
Also known as Vlad

Age: looks about 21

Appearance: (I tried to find a picture….no luck)
Vladimir is considered handsome. He has a form of male beauty that makes most women fall for him…and he uses that to his advantage.  He stands at around 6 foot 1 with perfect posture. His skin is lightly tanned which gives him a bit of a golden glow. His eyes are a pale grey that seem to either reflect only one emotion…that of anger. When he is angry those eyes seem to reflect rolling clouds of storms. He is well built, but lean. Muscles of an archer that can be hidden and let his opponents underestimate him. He is a lot stronger then he looks. His hair is rather interesting. The right, back and underneath the left sides of his head are all shaved at about 3 inches with the top of his hair falling to the left. His hair is a deep raven black with a stark white streak falling over his left eye. It is naturally this way so occasionally he will dye his hair to hide his identity. In his left ear is a silver hoop that seems to be soldered shut. His weight is around 180 with that being mostly muscle. He has a Russian accent that comes out when he is caught off guard or angry along with occasional Russian words slipping. He walks with an almost feline grace and makes little to no noise when walking. Lastly, his voice has a velvety softness to it, though is can become more harsh when he is upset. 
 
Bio: 
Vladimir remembers the Vikings. Remembers well because he was one himself.  Though that did not last too long as he did not like some of the things Vikings did to the villages they took over. Under the cover of night he left them to seek out something different. 
That something different came in the form of piracy. Not the traditionalist in any sense of the form he got a boat before he got a crew. It was a large boat that he fondly named the flying Dutchman. He spent a few days convincing members of other crews to join him with the promise of good treatment and plenty of gold.  Many were persuaded by that and so began the travels of Captain Vlad. 
This part of his life lasted the longest and gave him a fortune in stolen goods. 
Upon chance, he stumbled upon a village that lured him there. Finding something appeasing about the sleepiness, he stayed and allowed his crew to part ways with him. (A good thing since the ship was shot down and never seen again) He met a woman who he fell in love with. They got married, though never had any children due to him being sterile. He was head over heels for her and did his best to make her happy especially with his inability to give her any children. 
Life seemed great for a few years, until Vlad came home one day to find his wife dead. (He refuses to talk about the details) One thing lead to another and Vlad left the town covered in blood.
Much later, the IBI was created. Created and somehow he found himself in their clutches. To put it simply, it is not something he wishes to go through again and finds that he is happy to be out of there. 
From that point on he hopped from place to place from job to job. From paid hit man to private eye and so many more. Now, he finds himself living in the US with a job as a bouncer and houses scattered throughout with basements full of treasure. Treasure that occasionally takes a piece or two to historical museums to make quick cash.  So to the historical members, he is a treasure hunter. 

He does not believe the IBI know much about him anymore, but why take the chance of not being careful again. 
 

Personality: Vladimir is sarcastic to boot and a bit of a lone wolf. He is rather difficult to anger, but once he is angry he is hard to calm back down. Any speaking of the IBI or his wife cause him to go into silence.  

Possessions: 
-Vlad tends to wear t shirts of the heathered variety (usually grey though there are a few colors) 
-He also wears button ups occasionally so some of those
-His pirate boots that are still in good condition (he swears they are comfortable even with the slight heel.)
-Tight jeans (of the darker variety)
-A dagger (with a fire crystal)
-A sword (With a lightning crystal)
-A rather old looking flip phone

Skills: 
-Drinks rum like a fish (something about the taste…he doesn’t seem to really get drunk anymore)
-Sword skills (though he can fight dirty)
-Parkour 
-His shooting skills are okay…not the best but he can hit a target.
-Smooth talker/silver tongue (He seems able to get out of many a difficult situation.)

Fast facts: (Interesting facts and such about your character. Fears, hobbies, favorite foods, mannerisms, and habits all belong here)
Fears: 
Not much. He seems to have accepted what he is and he has already lost something he loves through a brutal way so…he doesn’t really care a lot and that comes through the way he acts. 
Hobbies: 
Wood carving-he finds it fun to see what a piece of wood becomes

Favorite food:
Rum

Tidbits:
Every once in awhile he goes to his secret basement and looks at a portrait of his wife. It seems he has never been able to get over it. 

Deep down he has a capability to be sweet and loving…just got to get past those walls of his.

He does have a tendency to sleep with women. Being completely sterile has some advantages in that realm, though many a time he has had women accuse him of being the father of whatever child. 

Though he has money and plenty of it, he does not flaunt it. All of his homes are moderately sized (he has many under different aliases so that he can hide wherever.) and his jobs are not ones that are expected of someone who is wealthy.
