[ Background by Mr. Cleaner ]
He was not the best drone rigger. He was not the most bold. What he was was the most enthusiastic and dedicated, just the
loyal sort that the KGB really like as their lackeys. This isn't to say that he was a moron; the KGB doesn't hire idiots. Even their leg-breakers are
smart leg-breakers.
The KGB also gets the best of what's available, and they put it into their best people. Piotyr was plugged in an average of fourteen hours a day, peeking into windows, listening at doors, and eliminating troublesome pests. Like his dossier says -- he wasn't the boldest or the best, but he was intelligent, enthusiastic, and loyal. He enjoyed what he did, and since the KGB let him do what he liked to do, he did it. A lot. And they put things into him in order to enable him to do it better, while keeping him able to upgrade if future needs put him into such a position.
Then Svyatogor called.
Svyatogor, the oldest, wisest, and mightiest of Russian
bogatyr, spoke to the drone rigger, telling him that though his contact with the Motherland had been weakened, still there was strength left to him. A breath of the giant's power, and Piotyr's soul woke to the call of the Russian peoples, new and ancient. He knew he could no longer work with the repressiveness of the KGB. That bureau is not one to permit one to readily retire, so Piotyr left -- and left, and left. His apartment was cleared out, several of the drones he 'preferred' vanished, and Piotyr went east.
First stop were the Urals, where with some meditation and a hell of a lot of practice the man learned the touch of the Wise Warrior. Spells, though they did not come easily to him,
did come to him in time. When others from Moscow began to show up in the area, he again left, heading further east. Lake Baikal was next, then Vladivostok when his welcome was starting to wear thin. As the KGB signals office in Vladivostok started to look for him, he again moved, this time across the Bering Strait and down the coast to Seattle.
He's been here ever since, working under the code name 'Shivowtnoeh', which means 'The Beast Within' -- he prefers the implications of having greater depth than what first he seems. He works as an intrusion planning specialist, a vehicle overwatch agent (or 'spotter'), and occasionally does wetwork on hard-to-hit targets. Like any ex-intelligence operative, his actions are professional and competent; he is not some scum crawling off the street. He expects courtesy and respect, both for himself and for his worth; he presumes that if he is being hired for a job, the individual hiring him should innately comprehend that he is going to do the job, specifically and as contracted for. He is not big on exceeding the scope of the contract, but he is relentless in finishing what he is hired to do.
In short, he's ex-KGB.
>>>>>[ Ah, so this is where he has went. This man was terror of Moscow back in '57. Then all of sudden, he disappears, KGB is looking for him. I did not know that he was visited by bogatyr Svyatogor; this explains much of why he left. Svyatogor would not like how the KGB treats the People. ]<<<<<

>>>>>[ Shivvy's a weird one, really. I'm not sure he doesn't belong over in 'Drivers'. He's supposedly an ex-KGB rigger who found magic at the ripe old age of something like 32, and left the KGB under 'selfish circumstances'. He does a little of everything, really -- sorcery adept, a bit of high-tech muscle work, doin' the drone thing, peeking in people's windows. If there were an 'oddball' DB, he'd be in it.
Not to say he's crappy at what he does, but from what I hear he
does prefer the Peeping Tom bit over anything else. ]<<<<<

>>>>>[ While he's not a big fan of intrusion work, he does an excellent job of planning them. He's a big fan of 'supposed to be here' tactics -- getting outfits and IDs that match the place he's going, and just walking in.
I have heard rumors that Shivowtnoeh is connected to Chimera; I personally doubt their veracity. While he
will take contracts on hard-to-hit people, he prefers working independently. I believe he
has come to an understanding with his ex-comrades; he's hinted about it to me, but never confirmed anything, which I suspect is at the core of the deal. ]<<<<<
