Biography[]
Background[]
Born on August 14th, 1938 in Moscow, Vikhor Kuzmin graduated from the Faculty of Technology of Organic Substances and Pharmaceutical Chemistry of the Mendeleev Institute of Chemical Technology in 1959. He joined the Operations and Technology Directorate of the KGB the same year and was assigned to the Laboratory 12 R&D facility.
Six years later, Kuzmin was assigned to manage production facilities on Rebirth Island and reported directly to Colonel Lev Kravchenko. In 1968, Kuzmin was captured and interrogated by the CIA after a raid on the Rebirth Island facility. Interrogated by Russell Adler, Kuzmin lost an eye but divulged only his name and rank. He was retrieved by Kravchenko, who stripped him of his rank for failing to repel the CIA operation and sent him to the Petropavlovsk Gulag.
Two years after arriving in the gulag, Kuzmin was contacted by Perseus, who found him a broken man questioning his loyalties to a state that had betrayed him. Driven by a hatred for both Adler and Kravchenko, Kuzmin was receptive to Perseus' vision of Greater Russia. His first-hand knowledge of Nova 6 was deemed invaluable in achieving Perseus' goals.
In 1976, a small team of operatives launched an attack on the prison leaving many guards and prisoners dead. In the aftermath, Kuzmin was reported missing. After breaking free from the gulag, Kuzmin continued to work with Perseus, making use of his Project Nova knowledge.
Sulyodansk Industrial City[]
Sometime later, Stitch appears in a news report watched by Sophia Couteau, where he had apparently captured a chemical factory city belonging to Atlas Corporation. He is apparently the self-proclaimed "Eagle of the Steppes" and promises "Western Purge" of Central Asia. He is also mentioned in news reports, where the Sulyodansk Chemical factory he had captured is capable of producing seventeen tons of chemical warfare agents a month; he is also mentioned in a meeting with The Director, Dark Shepherd and a group of Atlas Corporation officials.
Sophia attempts to enlist in his army in the Sulyodansk Industrial City, but is ridiculed for it. After some discussion with Wraith (who's secretly working for Stitch), Sophia decides to accept Wraith's help in her quest to seek answers about Templar, after revealing she had found Ghost. Later at night, the duo infiltrate a warehouse where Stitch and Templar's Shadow are having a meeting. Sophia barges in, demanding answers.
Stitch notes how Sophia is in every way Templar's daughter, and that he's almost disappointed in himself for crafting such an obvious trap. Sophia tells him she has always known it was a trap, and that the only way for her to get her answers was to walk right into it; she also tells him she is tired of the games--which he agrees to--and Wraith finally allows her façade to drop (she had held the gun at Stitch and Templar's Shadow previously) and points the gun at Sophia.
A troop of armed men enter, and Stitch reveals that he had given Sophia the illusion of freedom for a time; he had always known where she had been and could have taken her at anytime, and there was nothing Makarov could've done to prevent it; he also reveals Sophia isn't their true target, as she is just one part of a larger plan.
Suddenly, the men are killed by throwing knives--revealed to have been thrown by Templar, who is apparently alive, to Sophia's shock.
