Role-Playing Notes:
Physical Features:
Apart from his height of 6'2" he is a fairly unremarkable looking man. He is of a slender, muscular build which on his frame looks a little on the 'skinny' side.
Clothes:
Leo tends to prefer grey-blue, and grey suits occasionally topped off with a trilby. He wears fairly austere tinted glasses to aid his near total blindness a little. His only 'vice' is a mahogany cane tipped off top and bottom with highly polished brass fittings.
Personality:
For the most part Leo can be quite dour with very little to say for himself. This changes whenever the subject of genetic modification, DNA therapy, or mutations crop up in conversation.
Home Town:
Nizhnevartovsk, Siberia, Russia
Languages:
Speaks English, Russian.
Strengths:
Due to his military training with the Russian special forces Leo is very much able to keep his head under the most arduous and emotional circumstances. It's kept him alive on more than one occasion.
Weaknesses:
Legally Blind 20 (EX). Although not totally devoid of sight Leo is only able to distinguish between shapes of light and dark.
Family:
Father - Stanislav Krichec (57); Mother - Kristen Krichec (54); Brother - Mikhail Krichec (32); Sister - Sophia Krichec (21)
History:
Shrike is a failed experiment with the early copies of the American Super Soldier serum. Unbeknown to the young Leopold one of the many injections he received as a Spetsnaz operative was an experimental version of the serum. Combined with bat DNA the serum was intended to sharpen the senses and hearing as well as the other enhancements expected from the serum.
Unfortunately for Leo the serum almost robbed him completely of his sight and he was 'retired' from active duty and submitted to military experimentation to discover the cause of the failure. This research eventually partially 'triggered' some of the desired effects of the serum but still left him without total vision.
This failure resulted in Shrike being committed to a military stockade for the rest of his natural life. Until one day a band of renegade Spetsnaz Super Soldiers broke into the military compound and rescued many of the sane survivors. The others weren't so lucky. The only thing left for Leo to do was flee the country - his presence in Russia could only threaten his family.
Vehicle:
None.
Relationships:
He is not currently involved in any personal relationships and he has not seen his family in over two years even though he speaks to them every few months from secure broadcasting sites.
