Physical Description: Skripka is a short, thin man with shoulder length red hair, a misguidingly handsome face and mismatched eyes; his stare is likely to make all but the strongest men shiver in fear as his eyes are the deepest pits of madness ever to grace the zone. When he is talking he makes wide theatrical gestures, throwing his arms to the sides and bowing. He always carries his Stradivarius violin with him wherever he goes and is wont to play it at random intervals, sometimes in the middle of conversations and sometimes in the middle of a hail of bullets. He wears a brown trench coat with knee high boots and denim jeans; his violin is strapped across his back along with his pack and hunting shotgun, his violin bow is sheathed at his hip along with a colt 1911 pistol and a hunting knife.
Back Story: Leonid Kraszinsky was raised by rich parents in the Russian city of Saint Petersburg and lived a sheltered life up until the age of twelve. His mother was a world famous stage actress and his father was a virtuoso pianist, they both performed around the world so spent very little time with little Leonid and he was left with his grandmother for most of his childhood. This had a strange effect on Leonid as he began talking to his imaginary friend Skripka (violin) more and more; hoping to solve this without alerting the press that the famous couple's son had mental health problems his grandmother started giving him violin lessons, but this only made the condition worse - to the point where Skripka would sometimes completely take over Leonid's mind, causing him to be extremely violent and giving him almost superhuman alertness and reflexes. This was too much for his family and they finally called on a psychiatrist. The psychiatrist diagnosed Leonid with extreme Schizophrenia and sent him to an asylum where he stayed until he turned 18. On his 18th birthday, Leonid's symptoms completely disappeared and he was discharged from the asylum; Leonid's family welcomed him home with open arms and as a birthday present he was given a Stradivarius violin, this stimulated him to continue with his studies and by the time he was 22 he was as famous as his parents. His life was laid out before him, but then Skripka returned. In the middle of a concert Leonid was shot at by an envious competitor, he responded by gouging out the man's eyes with his bare hands and then shouting "I'm back!" in a crazy cackling voice. He then ran out of the concert taking only his violin and the clothes on his back; he preceded to disappear for two years in which he made his way to the zone, playing his way across eastern Europe. He has since made his way to Yantar, having heard of the scientific base there.
