== Biography ==
=== Early Life and Military Career ===
=== Leaving the UNSC ===
Gorbachev didn't really like the Sangheili, especially after the events of the Human-Sangheili Alliance. He believed that one day the Sangheili would betray the UNSC and start another war. He argued with his superiors and became emotionally compromised. He was discharged from the UNSC and stripped of his rank.
=== Early Terrorist Career and Insurrectionist Movement ===
Gorbachev gathered many followers and formed a crime group known as Gorbachev's Inner Circle. He obligated to create a strong insurrection faction and gained money to support his aims through drug trafficking, opening terrorist cells in North America, Brazil, Russia, and Asia, and resources and contacts within the criminal world.
=== Becoming President of Russia ===
When Vorshevsky took office of President in 2560, he planned on allying itself with the Unified Earth Government for the first time. A majority of the citizens wanted Russia to remain as an independent nation, and turned to the Ultranationalist Party for aide. Vladimir Gorbachev, the leader of the Ultranationalist Party, gained enough votes in the next primary election and became Russia’s prime minister, but not enough to become President. Vorshevsky and Ruth Charet sought to remove Gorbachev from office, but instead, Gorbachev planned a covert operation to assassinate Vorshevsky. An assassin that was claimed to be a member of the UNSC’s Special Forces unit, assassinated Vorshevsky during his peace talks with Ruth Charet. All hell broke loose on red square, and Ruth Charet left the area under heavy security. The operation succeeded, and with Vorshevsky dead, Gorbachev became the new president of Russia, electing Dimitri Khrushchev as his prime minister. The Chairman of the Federation Council and the State Duma became suspicious of Gorbachev’s actions, worried that he would revive the USSR, but he kept the two in check, announcing to his own government and ONI’s media that he would find the perpetrator responsible for Vorshevsky’s death. Gorbachev then allied himself with the Unified Earth Government and assured the Russians that they would remain an independent nation. This became rather difficult, as many of the Russian citizens rebelled against Gorbachev’s cause and started their own insurgency.
