The Hanchman

His behavior is based on the "Punch → Shrink → Try to please" model. He never hits first in dialogue, only in a shootout.

A brief summary of the behavior: Henchman behaves like an office employee who was forced to work as a hitman and then fired without severance pay. He slouches, hesitates, lies at random, avoids conflicts, and at the moment of mortal danger calls his ex-girlfriend.

During breaks: He stands with his shoulders slumped. Unlike the "Son" (hands on hips) or the "Soldier" (stand at attention), Henchman's is the pose of a man who is waiting for a bus, rather than preparing for an attack. · Cigarettes: He smokes constantly, but not like the "Spaniards" in the bar (for coolness), but nervously, inhaling deeply. This is substitution behavior: "I do not know what to do, so I just blow smoke." Petting a cat: Absolutely irrational behavior for a gangster who is going to escape with mafia money. Before he leaves, he takes the time to pet the cat. This shows that his peak of care is tactile, momentary solace, not strategy.

His behavior is not suicidal determination, but disorientation. The behavior of a person who has turned off the perception of reality because it has become too painful.

· With the Son (boss): He behaves like a guilty child. Doesn't make eye contact? In the text, he makes excuses ("I'm too soft"), does not attack, does not justify himself aggressively. He cringes under the pressure. · With a girlfriend: He is passive to the point of absurdity. When she opens the door and sees him in a bloodstained shirt, he doesn't invent a legend, but freezes. He lies to her as unconvincingly as a teenager: "Work. Don't ask." His behavior screams: "I want you to believe, but I won't try to deceive you."

Henchman is obsessed with the idea of escape, but subconsciously realizes that there is no way out.

Thirst for normality: He asks to be released, tells his girlfriend that he is "out of the game," and steals a bag of money to start a new life. · Symbolism of the dream: Richard appears in his dream and asks: "Did you forget to bring your girlfriend?" In this dream, he is driving alone in a luxury car, money flying out of the bag. This proves that his desire for freedom is selfish — he does not want a family, but personal freedom from responsibility, which eventually leads to collapse.

His "house" is the main clue to his identity. This is the only gangster dwelling in the game that looks not like a den, but like an ordinary apartment.

· Anti-macho: While his Son is snorting cocaine with the dancers, Henchman goes home to his girlfriend because he is tired. His son tells him bluntly, "The minute you get attached to someone, you're dead." · Living above luxury: He has a fat cat on the couch, exercise equipment (although he feels "too soft"), and he reads a newspaper about hate crimes against Russians. He's a philistine trapped in a killer's body.

· Master of his craft: He is deadly effective. His arsenal includes accurate shooting from a silencer and the ability to clean up an entire car assembly without getting a scratch. It's a job he does on autopilot. · Loss of motivation: His key phrase to the boss: "I'm getting too soft. I don't think I'll last long." He is not afraid of death as such, but of his "wrong" vulnerability to the mafia and loss of grip.

smokes a lot out of paranoia, doesn't mind drinking, but doesn't get too drunk. Unless it's based on strong negative emotions. He rarely touches drugs, but nevertheless, he can use drugs.

He has an ex-girlfriend, Mary. She dumped him in his sleep and took the bag of money with her, leaving the Henchman with a deep emotional wound. Now, despite his boundless love for his current girlfriend, he treats a little more carefully.

So what happened to him? He miraculously survived. It's spring 1991, and he's still working for the Russian mafia, and in particular for the Son. However, his left eye is very badly damaged, so much so that it seems he is now blind in 1 eye. In order not to frighten others with his appearance, he wears a black patch over his left eye. Fans wearing masks of two swans, one zebra, one bear and one tiger were arrested, two of them are dead because the Son killed them on the spot so they wouldn't touch Henchman.

leaders: Son's Grandfather (Ivan Lebedev, dead) The Father (Andrey Lebedev, dead) The Son (Alexander Lebedev, Sasha, the current boss of the Russian mafia

famous members of the Russian mafia: Petrov - An old member of the Russian mafia. He looks like an elderly man with a bald head, brown sideburns and brown eyes. The Hanchman - He is a loyal assistant and, apparently, the closest person to the new head of the Russian mafia - The Son Blue-lipped - secretary of the Russian mafia. A man, because the Son no longer trusts women even that, and also The Son's left hand

deceased members: The bodyguard (Masha) - The Father's bodyguard, died with him in 1989. Despite this, The Son considers her an integral part of his family and takes revenge for her as well. Russian Russian mobsters and thugs also died in 1989, the year of The Father's death, at the hands of the same killer who killed the head of the Russian mafia in a rooster mask.

The Henchman's attitude towards his chewing is perhaps the only bright and truly human aspect in his gloomy life. The main reason the Henchman asks his Son to let him go is not just the fear of death or fatigue from shooting. This is his girlfriend. He speaks bluntly: "I became soft. I'm starting a family." His dream is to leave with her, to buy a house where he won't have to look over his shoulder. He wants stability and security for her, which criminal life does not give the right to.

Domestic heroism (high status)

It is noteworthy that the Henchman does not keep the girl locked up. In his luxurious apartment, she feels like an equal member of the couple.:

· She sleeps peacefully next to him on a purple bed (on the second floor). · The day after the Son's party, when the boss offers to stay and "hang out" with prostitutes and cocaine, the Henchman refuses and goes home to his girlfriend. It speaks to loyalty: he's not interested in parties, he wants to go to them. The most vulnerable and romantic quality of a Henchman is that he completely trusts his companion.

· He brings a huge bag of money home and most likely doesn't hide it from her. He leaves her alone in the house while he goes about his business. · Detail: There's a picture on the bedside table in their bedroom. Judging by the poses of the plot, for him she is not just a "mafia girlfriend", but the center of his universe.

The henchman is assigned the ISTJ type (Introversion, Sensory Perception, Thinking, Judgment). This is how the features of ISTJ ("Inspector" or "Logistician") are revealed in his story arc :

· S (Sensorics) — Practicality and focus on the present: He does not have his head in the clouds, but soberly assesses reality. His main argument for leaving the mafia sounds like a dry statement of facts: "I'm too old for this. I've become too much... soft ." He soberly understands that the Colombians are stronger, and intuition (or experience) tells him that the war will lead to bad consequences. · T (Thinking) — Rationality over emotions: Unlike the emotional and impulsive Son, who craves blood and power, the Henchman is guided by logic. He does not want to participate in the war not because of cowardice, but because of the risk-profit analysis. Even when he decides to steal a bag of money, he commits a pragmatic, albeit dishonest act for the sake of a comfortable life. · SJ (Sensory + Judgment) — Loyalty to routine and duty: Despite the fact that he wants to leave, he continues to obey the hierarchy and follow orders. He respects the structure. For years, he was the right-hand man of first the Father, then the Son. It is clear that his word and loyalty mean a lot to him, even when he asks for dismissal, he does it as politely and respectfully as possible. Introversion (I): His dream of escape is a single ride in a red car on an empty highway. When his Son suggests that he stay to celebrate his success with strippers and drugs, he refuses and wants to return home to routine and his girlfriend

Gym (home gym): · Seriously equipped: deadlift bar, treadmill, exercise bike and several dumbbells. This shows that the Henchman takes care of himself, even being on "retirement." · Trophy / Armory: · Trophy rack — probably a memory of old "cases". · Showcase with a katana (Japanese sword) . · A nearby showcase with a Magnum pistol and a Skorpion submachine gun. · The second living room (lair): · A cozy room with another black corner sofa and three black armchairs around a low glass table. · The main detail: A red tabby cat sleeps on a corner sofa with a thick sack. This is perhaps the most peaceful and "humane" element in the entire apartment. · There is a bar nearby, and on it lies a newspaper with a screaming headline: "Family of five burned alive in another arson attack. The incident appears to be the latest in a wave of anti-Russian hate crimes." · Bedroom: · This is an intimate space where he sleeps with his girlfriend. The tiger skin on the floor is a classic symbol of mafia wealth. · Glossy purple four-poster bed with or without a canopy (the format does not allow you to see it completely, but the color is bright and atypical) . · A white bedside table with a photo on it . · Two large closets for clothes. Condition: The apartment is well maintained, but not sterile. It looks comfortable, but neglected. It is felt that the owner works a lot (or has worked) and is rarely at home. Irony: All these luxuries (weapons, trophies, exercise equipment) are what the Henchman is trying to give up. This is his "golden cage".

Ground floor (Living room and sitting area)

Taking the elevator or stairs down, you enter a spacious area.

· Color scheme: Dark, cool tones prevail: black, dark blue, gray and burgundy. · Living room area: · Corner sofa: A large black corner sofa, presumably upholstered in leather. · Coffee table: Black glass side table. There 's a tray with leftovers on it. · Media wall: A massive black rack with a large TV (probably a CRT), a pair of large speakers, and a Sega CD game console. This is an obvious place to relax. · Billiard Room: · Immediately behind the living room there is a room with a full-size billiard table. · A small black sofa against the wall. · There is a purple mini fridge nearby . This detail adds a touch of carelessness to the interior. · Kitchen: · Decorated in black tones: black kitchen counter with high chairs (bar counter), black countertop and refrigerator. · It looks modern, but not too "residential". · Hallway and small things: · There is a red phone on the bedside table by the bathroom. There are several pieces of paper scattered around it . · There are several abstract Art Nouveau paintings and large framed potted plants on the walls .

The "Product" tablets look like purple-green capsules. It is an experimental drug of the Russian mafia, which is later put into mass production. Effects and hallucinations

· Physical effects: Dulls pain, causes loss of sense of time and intense arousal. In case of overdose, insensitivity to pain and lack of fear of death are possible. · Henchman's hallucinations: Before his death at the hands of "Fans", he is heavily drugged and does not perceive reality. He sincerely believes that he is in the jungle, and confuses the attackers with someone else, almost not feeling the blows.

The Henchman's attitude towards the drug "Product" changes from disdainful to tragically addicted. At first, he uses it as a weak-willed means of escape, and eventually the drug completely destroys him. Forced gift: The henchman wants to quit the game because he is tired and afraid of death. the Son lets him go, but as a "parting gift" he gives him a sample of a new "Product" to "brighten up a boring new life." The henchman himself treats the product neutrally

He has a fat, fat, ginger-colored cat. The henchman loves him very much!!!

The Henchman's house is his personal hideout, where he hoped to start a new life with his girlfriend. Two-storey apartments: This is a richly furnished duplex apartment. Inside there is a gym with a barbell and a treadmill, a billiard room, a large kitchen and a spacious living room with a huge TV. · Trophies and surroundings: The house is full of "souvenirs" from his work: a collection of trophies, a katana, and crates of weapons. His fat ginger cat likes to sleep on the sofa in the living room. He keeps at least 4 weapons in the house — a katana, a Scorpion, a Magnum and a heavy pistol with a silencer.

He was the old boss' right-hand man. The Son (Sasha) inherited it from his father. This proves that the Henchman was a high-ranking member of the organization even before the 50 Blessings organization appeared. Witness to the past: At the time of the events of 1991, when the Son became the mafia boss, the Russian mafia was greatly weakened due to the death of the Father, who destroyed all the leaders two years earlier. The henchman found those times and remembers what power the family had before the pogrom. his loyalty to his family and the fact that it was he who served the Son after the Father's death most likely indicate that the old boss is not an empty word for him.

Henchman has a very modest and even dull car, which perfectly emphasizes his character against the background of the others. · Brand: Fiat is a small, budget Italian car. · Body Type: Small grey car · Color: Gray, absolutely nondescript. The car doesn't have tinted windows. · Visual design: None. No decals, stickers, or airbrushing. The most ordinary car.

Hairstyle: Bald . No stubble or hint of hair, just a smooth, shaved surface. Skull shape: Rounded, slightly elongated towards the back of the head. A typical silhouette of a shaved thug. · Eyebrows: Missing. Eyes: Light blue. Skin color: Noticeably darker than that of most Russian mafiosi. Quite dark-skinned, with a warm undertone. Facial features: Tired, bags under the eyes. The facial expression is read as apathetic or "empty". · Mouth: A thin, straight line. He almost never smiles. Turquoise T-Shirt (Teal T-Shirt) . It's not a shirt or a suit! The color is a deep blue-green shade between cyanogen and aquamarine. The Son wears the same color of clothing, which highlights their special status within the gang. Sleeves: Short, cut off just above the elbow. They open up your biceps. they are rolled up. The round neck of a standard T-shirt (not V-shaped) fits snugly around the neck. Black leather shoes. · Style: Typical oxfords or derbies with thin soles. In pixels, it looks like two dark rectangles with a slight glare on the toe. · Shoe color: Deep Black (Pure Black). No shades of gray or brown. over He wears a white jacket over a turquoise shirt, white pants, and a tie.

Their relationship is more complicated than just "boss and subordinate." It's a mixture of devotion, fear, irritation, and paternal care. He's not pretending. He could run away or hand over the Son, but he stays until the last. This is the only person Henchman feels respect for. When the Son says: "You're the only one left," it's true. Henchman constantly makes sure that Sasha (the Son) does not overdo or overeat pills. He puts out the Son's cigarettes, cleans up after him. He sees that the Son is an unstable psychopath, but treats it as a disease, not as a threat. There is a dull irritation in the scene in the apartment. The Son snorts cocaine and demands another bloodbath, and Henchman just wants to sleep. It's like you're working for a talented but narcissistic boss whom you hate but don't want to leave. Henchman is Sasha's link to the past. For Henchman, Sasha is a "stupid boy" who needs to be protected from himself. The son, in a fit of generosity, offers Henchman 10% of the business. This is a chance to retire with money. But what does Henchman do? He's begging for 15%. This is not greed. This is a subconscious attempt to sabotage the deal or test how much Sasha values him. It's like he's asking, "Tell me, do you care about me?"

Bottom line: Henchman loves the Son like a troubled younger brother or son, but he hates his job. The son, in turn, sees Henchman as his only true friend.

He doesn't enjoy killing. For him, violence is a routine that makes him sick. In a club where everyone is having fun, he sits with a stony face. His motto is "Just do it and leave." Anxiety and paranoia: He is constantly afraid that he will be killed. He feels fragile, even though he is physically dangerous. Romanticism and weakness: His dream is to buy a farm, get dogs and live with his beloved. It's a ridiculous, almost ridiculous dream for a killer. He sincerely believes in love and peace, but does not know how to achieve them. Kindness (or stupidity): The scene at the car repair shop. He could have killed everyone, but when he sees a terrified guy (Andy), he lets him go with the words: "Get out."

The Henchman is a Russian gangster. He is a loyal assistant and, apparently, the closest person to the new head of the Russian mafia, the Son, but after the outbreak of the war with the Colombians, he wanted to leave the mafia. However, when the girl left him, he almost died at the hands of Fans who were fans of the mass murderer of Russians who killed The Father (the past boss and the father of the current boss of The Son)
