Mikhail Dudnik

Background
Mikhail is a merchant who has almost always had close ties with Sascha, especially in regards to business. Mikhail supplies Sascha with the majority of the stock which he sells, first purchasing the load from the city, and then splitting it with Sascha for a reasonable price. Sascha resells the stock to his own customers at a high enough price to make profits, whilst keeping it low enough to maintain a great deal.

Mikhail typically sells weaponry, ammunition, protective military gear such as gas masks and CBRN suits as well as basic rations like water and preserved food. Mikhail’s stock changes every day as he cannot carry everything that he sells, however, he does have each day of the week designated to a specific type of stock. Monday-Tuesday he will carry weaponry and ammunition, Wednesday-Thursday he will carry protective gear, Friday he will sell rations, and on Saturday he will sell a mix of everything as this is the day where the zones are most frequently visited by people.

Mikhail was born in Russia, although he is actually half American. His mother was a citizen of the United States, having met Mikhail’s father whilst travelling through Russia on vacation. Mikhail’s father was a soldier in the people's militia during the more tense points of the civil war, the rebelling faction against the larger Loyalist army that held power in the larger cities. Mikhail’s father still works for the military at the current day, but they are not deployed nearly as often as they were in the past due to a dulling of the conflict. Although there is still large amounts of tension between the separated states, there is no longer the same amount of conflict as there once was, leaving many troops from all sides on standby.

Mikhail loves his mother very much, feeling a little detached from his father, who, in comparison, has rarely ever been there for him at home due to the work in which he is involved in. Although Mikhail has very left-wing views and generally dislikes war and conflict, he has a certain soft-spot for weapons and military gear thanks to the strong influence that his father put on him from a young age.
