Evgeny Tamantsev.

Unlike the thoughtful analyst Alekhine, Tamantsev is expressive, blunt, and never minces words. He speaks his mind, sometimes being rude to his superiors or assigned officers. He considers himself an "uneducated musclehead" compared to the intellectuals of the group. This sometimes gives him an insecure complex, despite possessing a keen practical mind and phenomenal intuition. He is driven by a deep hatred of the enemy. His close friend Lyokha Basos was brutally tortured and killed by the Nazis, so Tamantsev is merciless toward saboteurs and spies. Behind his feigned harshness and cynicism lies a vulnerable soul. He is capable of feeling deep compassion for the victims of war—women and children.

Tamantsev is an epic master of forceful arrest. During the war, he personally captured over a hundred German paratroopers alive and earned five combat medals. He masterfully wields two TT pistols while moving. He can quickly escape enemy fire through continuous, highly coordinated body movements while simultaneously firing accurately.

A young 25-year-old man of exceptional physical strength. He possesses incredible flexibility, agility, and lightning-fast reflexes, earning him his nickname. He has a sullen, determined gaze, dark gray eyes, and thick, unibrow-like eyebrows. Originally from Novorossiysk, he worked in the merchant navy before the war, a reference to the anchor tattooed on his shoulder. Before joining counterintelligence, he served in the NKVD border troops.
