Biography
Pavel was in Stalingrad at age 17 when the Nazis
invaded. The ammunition factory where his parents
worked was an early target, and after their death he
joined the Red Army Unit 23. After the surrender of
the Axis forces in Stalingrad, he was deployed all along
the Eastern Front including Kursk, Finland, and Warsaw
to destabilize axis operations in advance of Soviet
forces. He was then recruited for the NKVD’s covert
kill squad to eliminate political dissidents, disrupt CIA
and MI6 agents, and assassinate foreign scientists
studying space travel. In 1950, the NKVD established
a sleeper program by order of Joseph Stalin. He was
embedded in La Paz, Bolivia, ordered to maintain
readiness until activated.

Capabilities and Motivations
Marxman might be considered history’s greatest sniper,
were his service records not thoroughly redacted. His
talent for ballistic calculation honed by decades of
practice allows him to make precise shots at extreme
range. He stalks his targets for days, preparing his
approach, retreat, and contingent positions. For him,
the mission is all. Long ago, he made his choice to give
his life to the Soviet Union. Mecha-Stalin’s knowledge
of his activation code gives him authority to command,
and Marxman is ready to serve.
Upgrades
Mecha-Stalin knows that keeping Marxman out of
direct fighting is paramount, so along with better
weapons that extend his range, he wears a prototype
exoskeleton under his fatigues that serves a variety
of functions. It monitors his vitals, regulates his bodily
functions, and augments his mobility.
