*Name: Sofiya āBalalaikaā Pavlovena
*Universe: Black Lagoon
*Appearance:
*Personality: Due to Balalaika's leadership during the hellish fighting in Afghanistan, her men look up to her as their superior and will do just about anything upon her orders. As a combat officer, she is a skilled strategist and well-rounded fighter, capable of taking care of herself despite the fact that all of her troopers often worry for her. Although she has shown herself to be rather cynical on occasion, she is also a pragmatic and professional businesswoman. Balalaika regards herself and her men as soldiers who missed their chance to die in Afghanistan. While some of her actions can be interpreted as attempts to pursue an honorable death in combat for her men, Balalaika's status as a military figure is tempered by her role in the criminal underground. Although she is the leader of her faction of the organization Hotel Moscow, Balalaika is not above menial jobs and grunt work if the situation calls for it.
*Powers/Skills: As a former Russian soldier, Balalaika is trained as a fine leader and tactician. She is considered a fine marksman and sniper, which earned her the nickname āBalalaikaā; which is one of Soviet army's slang terms for the Dragunov sniper rifle. She contains a strong mental fortitude after living through a war and working in dangerous and often dirty crime.
*Brief Bio: Balalaika was raised in a family with deep rooted loyalty to the USSR and its military, so it was only natural for her to enlist like her forefathers had. The young womanās patriotism and hard work allowed her to rise through the ranks of the Soviet army, becoming a Captain and a Vozdushno-Desantnye 'Vojska paratrooper. Eventually she came to fight in the Soviet war in Afghanistan, but suffered severe burn marks which scar most of the right side of her face, neck, chest and legs after jumping on a live grenade in order to shield other members of her unit.
She was lucky to survive, and continued to serve after the fact until 1986 where she and her unit were discharged after the media discovered that they were involved in an international illegal operation. They then joined the Russian Mafia, and founded Hotel Moscow in the harbor city of Roanapur in southeast Thailand.

*Name: Glen Jacob āKaneā Callaway
*Universe: World Wrestling Entertainment
*Appearance:
*Personality: Kane is a sick and twisted man that gains pleasure from the torment of himself and others. Heās a quiet and methodical individual that uses his hulking stature to intimidate, and while he may seem like a mindless brute, Kane uses his mind quite a bit in the formulation of battle tactics in order to gain the upper hand on his foes. Even though Kane isnāt a people person, he isnāt against the formation of temporary alliances as long as a common foe exists, and he can gain things he desires out of the relationship.
*Powers/Skills: Kane is trained in hand to hand combat and submission techniques. Kane has a condition called HSAN (Hereditary Sensory and Autonomous Neuropathy) which, although it does not remove the ability to feel tactile sensation, renders Kane incapable of feeling pain unless it is in great amounts. Kane also has supernatural abilities that allow him to cause individual bolts of lightning to rain down from the sky, as well as the power to raise bursts of fire from hell itself.
*Brief Bio: There once was a family that owned and lived in a funeral home in Texas. The Callaway family consisted of the father who ran the home as a mortician, the mother who worked as the secretary, and the son, Mark Callaway who later became the wrestler known as the Undertaker. There was one other that worked in this home, a man named Paul Bearer who apprenticed under Mr. Callaway. During Paulās apprenticeship he pursued an affair with Mrs. Callaway that resulted in the child known as Kane. Kane would be fronted as Mr. Callawayās child and was raised as such, forming a close relationship with his half-brother Mark. They did everything together and Kane looked up to Mark as any little brother would.
Years would pass and life would continue normally, all until an event known as the burning of the funeral home that resulted in the deaths of Mr. and Mrs. Callaway and the deformation of Kane. Little is known about whom or what caused the fire that would burn down the home. Paul Bearer claimed that it was Mark who did the deed, while Mark himself implied that Kane was the one who accidentally let flames run rampant after the young boy played with matches and flammable embalming fluid. While the causes remain hidden, the effects set in motion the events that led up to Mark joining the WWE. Kane on the other hand went into the custody of his real father, Paul Bearer, who went out of his way to hide Kaneās survival of the fire from Mark.
Kane would spend the next years of his life locked in a basement due to his severe burn scarring, and was forced to live with the psychological and emotional trauma that ensued. This eventually led to Kane being institutionalized, and was sent along a string of mental institutions until he was placed back into the custody of Paul Bearer. Reunited with his son, Paul would use Kane to enact revenge on The Undertaker in the WWE ring. The two brothers would feud over the next year, all until the Big Red Monster mysteriously disappearedā¦
