Zakhar

BC03 Revelations/01

Commander of Konrad's hidden base, Archangelsk. Below average height, maybe five-nine. He had a black bushy beard, and his face was gaunt. His nerves were twitchy. He was obviously nervous. Had not heard from Konrad in many months. Boris explained that it was because he was dead. . “I cut off his head personally. He was a sociopath trying to take over Russia by causing internal incidents, Zakhar was happy that NVG was disbanded. “The NVG wished to change the policies of the government. End the merry go round of Russia confronting the west and then backing off, then confronting them again. Force the government to accept either war or peace. No more of this posturing and provocations. This constant bickering back and forth is as bad or worse than war. It does nothing to help the people of our country.” Zakhar had gotten a knife out and cut the patch from his shoulder. Zakhar spat on the patch, his voice angry, disgusted. “Godsbedamned liars. It was to be a slow takeover for Russia’s benefit, not this self-destructive orgy. Russia has gone down that path before. It never ends well.”

It is like the legends said, no? That St Michael had trapped the Devil in that cave. I didn’t believe it then, but I sure as hell believe it now.

His loyalty to Konrd would have made him untrustworthy in Boris' eyes, although when Zakhar and many of his fellows took off their NVG patches and spit on them on the flloor, Boris probably allowed them to remain in the town. It was not stated what happened to him in the future of the town or the base.
