Aleksei; a popular first name in Russia.
Popov; a name often assoiciated with the Orthodox Church.
Of course, you then have Aleksei Popov- a deadly ex-Spetsnaz with skills beyond the understanding of the criminal underworld, a man with intentions unknown, and an enforcer of hope in a world consumed by evil.
Quite the tired man as well, if you asked around.
And a relatively sad man.
You see, Aleksei lost his wife in a car bomb a while back- a targeted attack that was meant for him.
It consumed him in depression for a couple of months before he decided to get therapy for it.
Glad to say that his therapy was successful.
Of course, that raises several questions: what about the car bomb? Was it ever investigated? Did they find the culprit? Is said culprit in jail? Is Aleksei leading a better life?
Sad to say, the answer to all of those questions except the second and last ones is no.
However, to add on to that already somber backstory, Aleksei was also recently robbed of his valuables- which were just several pictures of his wife, framed with silver and one with gold.
The robber? A member of the Russian Mafia.
Now, Aleksei thinks is that this is the final straw that breaks the camel's back. And he has a personal vendetta against Russian Mafia.
All that he needs is his two ex-Spetsnaz friends.
