| Was a psychic secret agent for KGB. Losing his position in the Soviet Union after its crumble, he moved to the US and served in the FBI for a while. He was in charge of several cases in the FBI. He dove into the minds of serial murders and ended up uniting with such minds (after going beyond the threshold of the element of crime), becoming a serial killer himself. He then became a freelance espionage agent to be scouted to join FOX-HOUND. Has powerful psycho-kinesis powers and the ability to read people's minds. In his childhood, he dove into the mind of his father as his first psychic experience. He found out his father hated him because his mother died when giving birth to him. He then discovered the different facets (the "parasite") in one's conscience. This shock changes his personality. This feeling of despair within himself awakens his subconscious and makes him kill his father. The power that was released from him during that episode wiped out a whole town of 1000 people. The KGB, impressed by his ESP abilities, took him in and trained him. He is from the "dormitory school" known for training former Soviet agents. In order to prevent his own destruction with his ESP powers, he keeps another personality (the parasite) within himself. He is called Mantis because of this mental parasite. By mentally living together with this single-celled mental parasite, he can somehow manage to keep his original self. He wears a gas mask to hide his facial burns he suffered when wiping out the town. The mask is also necessary to protect himself from spiritual powers and thought powers in the air. In his youth he was a muscular athlete, but since the awakening of his ESP powers he had no reason to act physically, making him lose his muscles and leaving him with just skin and bones. Due to his childhood trauma, he has no happy memories. When he assassinates he dives into the target's mind and "deprives" the target of his likes. He is also known as the dream robber. |
