Oleg Volkov

1. A simple fighter - "Rookie" (Alexey "Lech" Morozov) Age: 22 years old Appearance: Thin, pale, with pimples on his cheeks, short hair. He wears a battered offload one size too big, so that "it wouldn't be so scary." His eyes were wary, like an animal's. Character: Naive, but not stupid. He tries to keep quiet, not stand out. He's afraid to let you down, but he wants to prove that he's "not a sucker." Story: Dropped out of college in Volgograd after a fight with a police officer. He got a job at a private military company through a veteran friend, "if only he could survive and return with the money to open a tire shop." He trembles in battle, but orders himself: "Don't fall — stand next to the Wolf." "Lech, would you like some tea?" - "I'll do it... but without sugar — it all poured out into the sand when I fell during the first shelling."

2. Sniper — "Eye" (Dmitry "Mityai" Loginov) Age: 34 years Appearance: Strong, with a thick beard and a scar above his eyebrow. The eyes are calm, almost without emotion. He wears glasses with yellow lenses even indoors. On his wrist is a worn "Rocket" watch. Character: Introverted, methodical, speaks little. He believes that "murder is calculation, not revenge." He doesn't drink or smoke, just tea and dry rations. History: A former airborne sniper who left after Afghanistan 2.0 in Chechnya. I came to Syria because "there is nothing to do at home, but at least there is a goal here." He counts every shot like a prayer. "I don't kill people. I'm removing the threat. The difference is in the head."

3. The sniper's observer / partner — "Shadow" (Artyom "Tema" Selivanov) Age: 28 years Appearance: Tall, agile, with short hair and freckles. He wears camouflage with a "SVO" patch (ironically, before the official term). Always with a tablet and binoculars. Character: Sociable, ironic, likes to quote films. He compensates for Mitya's gloominess by joking even under fire. But in battle, he is extremely focused. History: A former surveyor, became interested in tactical reconnaissance in online simulations. I got into the PMC through the forum. Mityai didn't want to take him at first—he was "too talkative," but after Palmyra he said, "He sees things that I don't have time for." "Mityai, you have three hours to aim. And I have three seconds to say, 'Shoot or not.'"

4. Mechanic - "Ivanich" (Kuzma Ivanovich Petrov) Age: 47 years old Appearance: Stocky, with gray temples and an eternal oil stain on his overalls. My hands are covered in scars and calls. He wears an old cap with the KAMAZ logo. Character: Fatherly type. He grumbles, but feeds everyone. He loves machinery more than people: "A car won't betray you if you don't forget to lubricate it." History: He worked as a mechanic in the fleet of the Ministry of Defense, retired, but could not stand the "boredom of home." He came to Syria at the call of his former commander. His "Urals" are the only ones who take the wounded out from under fire without damage. "You're being heroic there. In the meantime, I'll change the wheel and follow you again. Without a car, you're infantry. And the gods are with her."
