Boris

Boris is a minor character in the Toxic Soviets Comic Series. He is a Guard of the Queen at the Royal Castle in Warsaw stationed in the Castle’s front gates. Boris would eventually let Faded enter the castle and deliver the news of an imminent Soviet invasion, paving the way for the events of the Polish War Arc.
== Toxic Soviets Events ==
=== Volume 4: Noreaga’s Dungeon ===
Boris first appears as a Guard at the front gates of the Palace when Faded arrives following his arduous journey to Poland. Boris denies Faded’s entrance, as he is a peasant, but Faded attempts to bribe him to be let in. Faded panics when he realizes he has nothing to bribe him with, leading Boris to deem him mentally insane and delusional. Eventually, Faded remembers the reason for his arrival and gives Boris the Soviet newspaper article about an imminent Soviet invasion, which forces Boris to let him in so he can speak with the Queen.
Upon arrival, Boris interrupts Franz, who is lecturing the Queen on the state of the palace, leading Franz to counter-attack by calling him stupid and bitchless (literally). The Queen eventually lets Boris talk, and he hands the floor to Faded, who stumbles his words and is unable to speak in front of the Queen’s presence. This leads Boris to think he’s in love with her in his inner thoughts. Eventually, Boris forces Faded to get the point and read the newspaper, which is given to Robert to read (after staring at it for around 5 minutes).
=== Volume 5: Operation Fallen Eagle ===
Boris has no lines in Volume 5, but he is only seen during the dinner scene and in the end where the Polish Guards come to neck to neck with the Soviets. In the dinner, Boris just appears to be standing and drinking as he watches events unfold before being called on by the Chief of Security to go to the front gates with the intent of cornering the Soviets. 
After the events unfold following multiple twists, it is revealed that the Soviets were one step ahead all along, which led to the destruction of the palace and an ambush attack conducted by a squad of KGB Officers. Boris was one of the many Guards who was killed in the ambush, sealing his death at the hands of the KGB.
== Personality ==
Boris is loyal and committed to his duty. He sticks to the procedures and wants matters to be settled, such as when he forced Faded to inform the Queen of the imminent Soviet invasion without stumbling on his words for the next hour or so. He takes his job seriously and is prepared to defend his nation and Monarch as part of his duty, something which eventually happens when he is killed in an ambush by a masked squad of KGB agents.
