TKG09 It's Hell To Choose/10,12,18

Russian, un-killable, definitely not one to cross. No conscience.

Mercenary hired by Simmons for Field Trip event against TQB children (TKG Field Trip)

Huge, but seemed light on his feet. Hairy, dark-eyed Russian Pricolici (for four centuries BC 01/2. Werebear Pricolici, for whatever reason, had always had better control over their speech than werewolf Pricolici. Looked to be in his thirties at time of attack on Romonavka. (BC 01/6) . Boris was by far the largest bear anyone had seen, easily more than eight hundred kilograms, about twenty percent bigger than the maximum Siberian bears were considered to reach. The only natural bears that might close in on his size were the largest Californian grizzlies or the occasional Kodiak. (BC 02/8)

BC 01/3 Ways to stay out of the Pricolici rage: The simplest means: “One year in five, stay out of the Pricolici form and you won’t lose yourself to it.” Ask yourself, ‘Do I need this, or would wolf or man be as useful?’ The less you use it, the safer you’ll be. And if you find yourself behaving more aggressively than normal as a man, DON’T change. You are near the madness then.” The second way? I found a way to change into the form without rage. With calmness, like a summer pond without a breeze in the air. When you reach a particular state, you will be able to reach for the form. But I cannot guarantee you will find the same path. It is something that has to be found, and can be corrupted if you find rage once changed. Until you are sure, stay as human or wolf for one year in three. BC 02/8 There is an in-between shape, which he discovered when his mother was being raped. When Janna asked him to show it to her, he replied, “I cannot show you. I only found the first path to that form when my mother was raped and killed by bandits. It is not something that can be taught. It is something I would not wish on my best friend or worst enemy. It is dangerous, see? In a thousand years, I am the only Were that has been able to take the form and not succumb to the consequences. The anger and frustration you feel? That is nothing compared to what you feel in that shape. It is also addictive.” He closed his eyes. “The power you feel, it is indescribable.”

BC 01/2 Werebear. Has nanocytes with two differences from most weres. The first is that his Etheric draw is stronger than others we have tested. The second difference is a form of coercion control that is paused, but still present. The Pod will modify and destroy that programming. His genetic makeup is remarkably close to the original genotype these nanites were designed to support. Longer lived than most were-bears. It may be that he was born with the nanites in his mother’s system. He had a significant Etheric balance before he went in that has aided the healing process. He is sensitive to the Etheric in a different way than Barnabas.

Friend of Michael.

BC 01/2 Supports a town Romanovka, in Siberia. "I protect them because of an oath I swore to my love before the predatel'skaya negodyay Reds had her executed. I swore I would save as many White Russians from the State as possible. I did, with the help of some Cossacks, I also aid and defend. This is where most of those I shield come from, their descendants.The rest are pack. I protect them to honor her memory. 'Tis all I have left.I worked as a mercenary after the war to build up the necessary infrastructure. Also, to send the brightest away for a better education than would be possible in central Russia. Our town is viewed with suspicion by many outside Siberia. Inside Siberia, everyone is descended from prestupniki, criminals of one sort or another, so no-one judges another. Paul, a good friend, was his Enforcer. "

"I am bound to them by blood oath and heart oath. I cannot in good conscience swear such an oath to you. I would, to honor Michael and the changes you started in him, swear an oath to aid you in any way I can that is not prevented by my previous promise. "By my blood on your blade, in memory of Michael, I swear service as I am able to you. He took one knee before Bethany Anne, "On this world, my service is yours."

TKG 09/10, 12, 18 Takes assassin jobs to support town. Will kill adults, will not kill children. Knew Gayda when she was in Russia.

BC 01/1 Actively fighting to support Colorado Base against merc attack, after Michael got him from the Field Trip debacle. Stephen considers him an honorable leader for his people. (Is a pack leader in Siberia. No council, just packs). He leads them and continues to protect those sworn to him. Peter, our late brother, mentioned that he preferred having Boris deal with Nosferatu problems and the younger Forsaken. With Boris, it’s all professional and very little emotion. “He is also the only Pricolici I know of who managed to master the change for more than a century without succumbing to the temptation and madness. . I suspect that is why he took mercenary work. Staying in his human form may be an asset to controlling the mixed shape for him.”

BC 02/1 Leading the retaliation against the NVG from the rear, as he had all of the knowledge of all of the groups in mind. Hated "leading from the rear. Boris wished he could fight with them and swore to himself that next time he would not be kept out of the action.

BC02/5 Wore armor. He was glad Alecta had designed and made this body armor for him. It had elastic sections between the plates so it still covered significant portions of his body when he changed.

BC 02/7 Age? History? The earliest date I clearly know is the year I challenged Michael. That makes me more than four hundred. Before he exiled me to Siberia, I had jobs, service in the Cossack hosts and other places, but no real interest in the year. I wanted to be doing things, active things. I didn’t even learn to read until my exile because it was so sedentary. Now, of course, I am literate in at least eight languages Has been in many wars. There were few wars I fought in, looking back, that truly had a justification. The Great Patriotic War. Driving Napoleon back. Fighting the Reds and the Blacks. They were all good wars and battles. Fighting for a cause worth all the loss, even if we failed.

BC 02/9 Legends of the Siberian werebear. He was truly ruthless against any Asiatic Weres. The last major incursion by the clans had been more than three centuries ago and had been a disaster. Those who had attacked had gone in sure of victory, but not one in ten of the Werewolves that had been involved had returned alive. Even fewer of the Werecats had returned. “If it is the same one that my people encountered centuries ago, then I have to say that this Werebear is dangerous. He managed to turn back several attempted incursions by the clan over the last three centuries with massive losses on our side. Only one of the Weres sent to take and hold the territory returned. He was insane, kept mumbling that a bear attacked his forces, taking them apart a piece at a time. That the bear could not be touched. He was missing an arm when he returned to us. His mind never recovered. He became known as the Ghost Bear. " Even the vampires of the East had been cautious about sending people into Siberia. It was as if the area was a black hole for Asiatic members of the UnknownWorld. . It is said that they behaved impeccably or ended up dead.”
