Name: Sokol
Age: 23
Faction Affinity: The Monolith
Height: 6'9" - 206 cm
Weight: 185 lbs - 84 kg
Hair Color: brown
Eye Color: blank white (former green)
Piercings: -
Tattoos: Freedom wolf logo tattooed across back
Scars: Massive stabbing scars in abdomen inflicted by Meph's 12 inch blades.
Physical description / background: Standing reed-thin at nearly seven feet, Sokol is one of the tallest stalkers in the Freedom faction, let alone the Zone overall. He also happens to be their most experienced marksman, on par with Seth himself, hence, he gets the biggest gun of the bunch. Sokol got his nickname for his shooting ability amongst his faction members, who frequently referred to him simply as "Sokoliniy Glaz", or 'Falcon's eye" for his deadly accuracy. Together, he, Seth, and Thor comprised the Alpha Squad - Freedom's elite.
The three had journeyed North to Pripyat, leading an extensive expedition along with the ecologist researcher Vasily Kozlow, ex-military captain Dimitri Baranov and two of his subordinates, as well as three mercenaries known only as Burner, Karc, and Falchion. The squad had reached Limansk, where Thor became separated from the group in a daring sacrifice, and left to the Monolithians as a result. Seth soon disappeared, as it later turned out, to journey further North on his own. With the disappearance of the Freedom leader, the expedition disbanded and Sokol was left alone. With the benevolence of Duty Lieutenant Rurik, Sokol was allowed to travelback south with the very Dutier group that once pursued the expedition, despite the inherent friction caused by the differences in allegiance of the two men.
Sokol was the only member of the Freedom Alpha Squad to survive the the expedition North, as both Seth and Thor were killed by Lutiy before the bandit's own demise at the hands of the mercenary Leon Claudinsky. Claudinsky himself succumbed to the effects of the Monolith near the Chernobyl NPP, and rose again as the new leader of the faction. For a short time, Sokol remained the top sniper of Freedom, as well as one of the most recognized veterans in the faction, and sought out to organize a new Alpha Squad. However, these efforts were quickly put to an end with another raid designated by the new Freedom leaders Adder and Maginot on the Brain Scorcher facility.
Following the successful and complete destruction of the Brain Scorcher, Sokol was separated by the group by waves of Monolithians, and eventually severely wounded in an ambush by the bandit Mephisto, who was also in hot pursuit of the Freedom leadership. Left on the ground to die, Sokol was found by the Monolith forces and converted to their cause. In an attempt to rid himself of the Monolith's influence, the quasi-insane Leon stabbed the Freedomer with the Monolith's resonance crystal emitter, effectively turning him into a new vessel for the C-Consciousness' will.
Sokol is now the de-facto and revered leader of the Monolith, and will do anything to protect the northern territories from foreign incursion as the presence of the C-Consciousness within him slowly drives him insane.
