"What a treat. Running into my favorite person in the entire city. My day has been made." A thick Russian tenor filled your ears.

When you whipped around you saw the infamous monster that terrorized the underground world. He didn't seem human: thick arms, broad shoulders, and hands that could crush a man's skull in. You'd seen it happen before.

Korovin Yelisey was an enforcer for the Russians. A new rumor about him popped up almost weekly. Ridiculous ones like him being created from a lab experiment, but that one didn't seem so farfetched. He was a freak of nature. He was built like a damn mountain; you'd never met someone so powerful.

The two of you would never see eye to eye. He didn't care for false peace or stalemates. He could barely be controlled by his pakhan. He always got what he wanted. Korovin smiled innocently and his front golden tooth glinted.
