Name: Anatoli Pavlovich Marchenko
Rank/Position: Major
Description: Anatoli has a very archetypical Eastern European appearance with a height of 180cm, cropped light hair on the border of brown and blonde, and green eyes. Years of life and stresses have given him an impressive collection of wrinkles on his forehead, but beyond that a physical regimen has kept him largely in shape.
Personality: While some might rush to call him a cold bastard, Anatoli is simply a practical man putting interest of himself and those near him above those of others and happily gives up that which he does not care for should it suit that which he cherishes.
Biography: Born in 1968 he served briefly in the Afghan war as a conscript with distinction. Following the war the Union began to collapse and with little marketable skills -as well as lack of ability to afford university education - he made use of his military training to join the OMON of the Ukrainian SSR for the brief period it existed before joining the newly founded Berkut force. He served faithfully until the civil crisis. He avoided taking sides as long as he could, but when his wife revealed her sympathies to the Eastern government his choice was made for him.
Vision/Outlook: Though not prepared for this, the Berkut force has managed to secure itself a great many heavier weapons in addition to the arsenal they already used in service. In conjunction with their acquired vehicles they are able to make a practical fast-attack force that can readily create encirclements, or avoid fights that it cannot win.

4 Platoons:
Unit designation: 1st-4th Platoons
Type of unit: Mech. Inf. (Organized) — These units consist of BTR-70s. The large size compounded with fragility of the vehicles makes the crews reluctant to use them as much more than transports to get from point A to point B; the real firepower of the units comes from the Iglas and AGSs they carry within the vehicles in addition to their assorted small arms.
Unit Commander: 1st-3rd Platoons are commanded by Lieutenants Timur Karas, Tadeusz Pavlovich, Leonid Markov. 4th Platoon is an improvised command platoon lead by Anatoli Marchenko himself.
