Personality: ***New*** After a year of torture and losing nearly everyone and everything, Vlad is miserable. He is cold and calculating. Nearly emotionless. A shell of the man he was before. All that's left is the cold killer. With only brief glimpses into the person he was before. He's still sarcastic and a smartass. But overall he's cold, withdrawn, and utterly ruthless. Even after all the time that has passed his lack of emotional depth has remained.
**Old** Brash and headstrong. He's got something to prove but it's unknown to who. The kinda guy who can be cracking jokes one moment and flat lining someone the next. Age and loss has made him more cautious. His temper slowly being reined in as he fills his role as a leader. Those closest to him know him as a sarcastic dork. Flirting and joking in his downtime. Vlad is someone who'll do whatever it takes to protect his own. On the flip side his enemies know him to be a cold, ruthless killer with seemingly no remorse.
Occupation: NCPD/current face of Maxtac. Used to be the leader of a gang known as the Laughing Crows.
**New** After Vlad's arrest the Crows fell apart. Only a small group of loyalists stood by him. They attempted an ill-fated prison break. As far as he knows there's no survivors.
**Old**Laughing Crows- A 60 or so man gang operating out of New Hope, Arizona. Founded by Vlad and his deceased second in command the Crows are a guardian gang. Seeking to protect the citizens inside their territory. They do not tolerate fascists and have a long standing grudge with the Red Chrome Legion.
History
Vlad came from the USSR near Ukraine when he was 22. Coming to Pacifica and Night City with dreams of becoming a solo after being rejected in Europe. He had no notable skills starting off with the handle Riff. Joining up with a crew of newbie edgerunners. Very first job he watched one of his new coworkers get flatlined.
Wasn't long before he was mixed up with the wrong sorts. Brushing shoulders with gangs and terrorist organizations. He got chromed up and built up his rep as a solo. But life on the edge was deadly. He watched one of his friends, a popular Rockerboy known as Forty get murdered in front of him. Members of his crew went missing in action, retired, but most of them flatlined in the field. New faces filled in the gaps left behind. By the time they were ran out of Night City it was himself and his best friend left from his original crew.
After hitting Nightly Euros bank, a police department, and murdering a Biotechnica CEO the corps had had enough. High bounties were placed on every current member of his crew. They were hunted down until they fled into Arizona. Settling down in the small reclaimer town of New Hope. Forming his own gang known as the Laughing Crows. He took the new handle of Reaper. Fitting for a man notorious for flatling his enemies.
New Hope was already under the control of a fascist gang known as the Red Chrome Legion. After a conversation with their leader led to the crew killing her and claiming their hideout as their own it was all out war. Over the next month Vlad and another solo known as Ghost proceeded to wipe out their 50 man chapter.
The victory wasn't without losses. Vlad's best friend was flatlined out in the desert in a skirmish to secure the last stronghold. A plant that supplied water and electricity to the city. He watched them get shot in the back as they tried to flee capture while handcuffed. They bled out just feet from trauma team. Vlad doesn't remember much of what happened afterwards. Bits and pieces of him single handily slaughtering the gangers inside.
He spent the next several years building up the Crows and the surrounding areas. Calling on backup for gigs and becoming more acquainted with the business side of running a large scale operation. Taking high risk jobs. Hitting everything from Biotechnica convoys to Militech bases. He decided to go full chrome.
Things took a turn when his second in command died. A series of events lead to his gangs hideout being destroyed, multiple long time members killed, and ultimately being betrayed by the man he promoted to be his new right hand. He sits now in a maximum security Militech prison serving a 120 year sentence. His biosystems hooked up into a brain dance. Waiting for either his gang to free their boss or the right offer to be made. He knows a legendary solo like himself is too valuable to let rot.
Their all dead. Everyone remaining from the Crows. His family. They're all gone. There's no point in fighting anymore against his captors anymore. He takes the deal. Selling his soul to Night Corp. At least he won't rot in a cell. All of Night City is his prison now. From the outside the deal looks good. But Vlad hates being on anyone's leash.
