“Fuck you and die.” –Count Maxim

District: The Russian Quarter

Occupation: Russian mafia boss who owns the Love Bites brothel and Rasputin’s Nightclub.

You might already know by now that Count Maxim was born into a post-Soviet baby farm somewhere in Chernenkograd, Russia. Barely sentient, he didn’t know at the time that another Russian native named Boriz was only three cots down. This is the only reason Boriz exists as a playable character in spite of Give Me Head HQ unanimously despising him. In the end he became too expensive to get rid of.

Anyways, behind Maxim’s various legitimate businesses is a web of illicit operations which brings in a stack of candy. However, not content with being filthy rich from those, Maxim has declared war against the greasers. He wants to move into the highly profitable elite auto trade industry. This is going to be no easy mission.

The primary pain in the arse for the Russians is Mr Kwong who is a member of the Yakuza. Maxim has been mulling over two approaches regarding this important figure.

Approach A is convincing Kwong to defect from the greasers to the Russians through bribery. But Maxim knows that he would only have one shot at this and would thus need to plan for multiple outcomes.

Approach B is also tricky: he would assassinate Kwong but make it look like the greasers had called for it by spreading bullshit propaganda. What happens next would solely depend on how the Yakuza reads the situation (we are yet to find any information on the Yakuza but we live in hope). Maxim believes that if he is successful, it could be a lot less effort.

What Maxim doesn’t yet know is that he’s wildly underestimating the greasers. They have been a respected gang in Cyberia for many years owed to their heart warming ethical code of pissed up camaraderie and helping other Cyberians in their time of need-regardless of whoever and whatever.

What we’ve understood from various minutes taken from long, boring meetings throughout June is that the Russians appear to be hard nuts, but like all hard nuts, they easily crack under the slightest pressure. As the saying goes: no amount of farting can conceal a sliver of poo.

At the same time Count Maxim is a brutal leader who would order the beheading of his own mother if he actually had one. But brutality doesn’t cut it. He’s nowhere near savvy enough to navigate the complex dynamics of gang warfare. If he’s going to succeed, he needs to up his game. And fast!

Preferred Weapon: Another nameless gun of some description.

Favourite bar snack: Salt and vinegar June bugs.
