Personal Information
Name: Mikhail Suvarov
Gender: Male
Age: 42
Birthday: 10/3 (i.e. 3rd of October)
Occupation: International Arms Dealer
Personality and Appearance
Personality: Formal but polite, Suvarov is a man of ceremony and appearances, from his crisp, clean suit to his well combed moustache every aspect of his appearance is manicured to create an aura of detached professionalism and neutrality. Suvarov maintains this outward facade almost as a survival instinct in his occupation, helping to ensure he can make the best deal possible and provide for the largest group of clientele without showing favouritism or creating any enemies. Behind it he is manipulative and intelligent, fuelled forward in life by his sole desire to eradicate the world of vampires.
Rigid and inflexible, Suvarov is almost incapable of making a rushed decision preferring instead to plan well ahead for as many possibilities as he can and then sticking to the plans without any deviation. Yet because of his intelligence and patience Suvarov tends to see a grander picture then others, viewing the world from a more strategic angle he shows no fear in making meticulous plans that span over months or years.
His hatred for vampires is twofold for not only is he is extremely resentful of all the physical advantages vampires possess over humans, but his father was also slaughtered by one when he was nineteen. As such he has come to truly hate vampires and, as he learnt of their existence, other supernatural life forms, including any humans who try to become like them. However whilst this motivates him personally he does not allow it to get in the way of his professionalism, and he does not discriminate with his clientele. Believing that he causes enough suffering in his work Suvarov donates generously to orphanages throughout the world.
Likes: punctuality, pocket watches, cleanliness, dark blue, and chess.
Dislikes: vampires, mess, unnecessary cruelty, impromptu decisions and fast food.
Appearance: An aging man of average height, his greying hair shows no signs of balding. His hair is trimmed and groomed to perfection; it can be described as neither long nor short. His moustache is thick and rich, but faded grey like his hair, and aside from it his face is completely clean shaven. He wears a small set of pince-nez spectacles and a suit more remiss of the 19th century.
Leather shoes, always polished, with black socks are his typical footwear. Long black pants with a leather belt and gun holster, a white shirt, white gloves, black vest, and a black coat finish the ensemble. Furthermore he travels nowhere without his favoured weapon, a Ruger Blackhawk revolver, and an antique pocket watch.
History
History: The only child to Gregor Suvarov and his beloved wife Katerina, Mikhail spent the first fifteen years of his life in the picture of a loving middle class family. He grew up in Saint Petersburg, exceeding at school, and had a promising life ahead of him. As his father was often away on business trips it was his mother that helped to keep the household intact. However with his mother’s death in a car accident when he was fifteen, Mikhail’s life changed forever. His father, Gregor, was a professional arms dealer and unable to retire so that he could continue to raise Mikhail, as such Gregor decided to teach Mikhail how it was done and the two became not only father and son but also master and apprentice.
Though initially uneasy about the new lifestyle and the revelation of his father’s career, Mikhail soon understood the necessity of their situation and learnt much from his father. The two bonded together as they travelled the world plying their wares, yet even this modicum of happiness was shattered when his father was assassinated by a vampire client who sought to renege on his payment by killing Gregor and taking all their stock. Mikhail managed to flee and with the connections that he had made with his father he found employment within the arms trade and worked his way back up to his current position where he has stayed for over eight years. All along the way he has secretly made moves to ensure that wherever possible vampires were killed, be it leaking his clients’ details to slayers or purposefully sabotaging the arms they received he did not care, though he was always careful to ensure that suspicion never fell upon him.
Recently he had heard from his sources that there have been some disturbances and mysterious power plays within the American black market and rumours involving increased vampire activity, so Mikhail has moved to Texas, the epicentre of it all, to investigate.
Family: Father (deceased), Mother (deceased).
Friends: None he is new to the country, though he does have a number of black market connections and clientele.
Enemies: His occupation means that law enforcement agencies are against him, and he believes supernatural beings are his enemies(though they do not know this).
