"He worked for the thieves-in-law before he joined the military through the same rehabilitation programme that Berdan and Lavochkin did. Trotskaya took note of his ability to slip through a tight security net and take someone out without anyone ever knowing he was there, and he made a name for himself as her personal hired gun. Whenever someone prominent needs to die, she sends Drago after them – and very often, he succeeds."
~ Visarion Tokarev describes Drago to Nathan Epstein during the Lenin Affair.
Introduction
Yvacheslav Drago is a Mecharussian assassin serving under General Elena Trotskaya from 2130. Often described as a counterpart to Victor Golovkin, alongside whom he infrequently serves, he is best known for his fighting ability and his expertise in missions requiring stealth.
In the Main Canon, Drago defects to Narodnaya Volya and becomes Blackhand's personal hitman. He states that his reasoning was because he became bored, but it is heavily implied that there is a more personal reason than a fickle taste.
