==Biography==
Dimitri (or called "Dima" by his friends,) is the first operator and leader of the CMT's Recon-Squad and also the husband of Rose. The Recon-Squad's job is to provide long-range support during ongoing missions for other squads. Dimitri is the one with the heavy rifle, ideal for bigger or armored targets. Overall, he is a friendly person who remains very loyal towards his friends and family. Especially him, Rook and Ethan are inseparable, as they've been best friends since their schooldays. 
Dimitri was born in Bluelu to Varstovkan parents and has had a rather troubled childhood. When he was still attending Kindergarten, his father Grigory had been a drug addict and would often commit crimes to finance his next dose. He and Dimitri's mother Klara would always get into heavy arguments because of that and eventually had divorced. Dimitri's mother then managed to get full custody over her child and moved away from his father, cutting off all ties to him. Dimitri wasn't really aware of this at first and his mother did her very best to make sure that his father didn't get a single chance to see his own son and would often lie to Dimitri about him being a murderer and other bad trouble.
Dimitri had gone to the same school as most of his friends and had also met Rose there. Both shared the interest to create music and quickly became friends, eventually getting together as well. During that time, Dimitri and Rook were both known to be great guitarists and have even been part of a band with Ethan, Mia, Molly and Flora called "Voices In My Head". He still likes to play today in his free time and is even teaching his daughter Clara how to play guitar as well. Even today, him and his friends sometimes meet up together for band practice, just for fun to forget the everyday-life stress.
After graduating, Dimitri too had joined the police like his two best friends and even married Rose after a few years. One day at a regular day at work, he was dispatched to arrest someone who had been caught stealing. When he arrived at scene, he had to learn that this "someone" was no one else than his father, now living a completely screwed up life. Shocked by all of this, Dimitri had started building up connections with his dad again and also forgave his past. He even helped him to battle his addictions and both currently get along very well together. However, because he had helped his father, Dimitri and his mother got into a serious argument. Dimitri was especially disgusted by the fact that she lied about his father and was still refusing to let him help. As a result, he had cut all ties to her and it's unknown what has become of her since. Just as both of his friends, Dimtiri later got promoted to the homicide commission but was only part of it for a rather short time, as he decided to join the TCU's sniper team later. 
During the Great Continental War, he too served in the Royal Army alongside his wife and friends but had the role of a Special-Operations sniper due to his experience. There, he had led quite a few iconic operations. Due to his accuracy and effectivity in long-range combat, he was extremely respected and was one of the most feared snipers out there, often referred to as the "Brain Surgeon". He too transferred to the Royal Air Force later and became a fighter pilot.
Later, just like his two best friends and his wife, he joined the International Taskforce in the final stages of the war as well, and became a member of their Aerial-Wing, as the entire "Grizzly" Squadron transferred to there. 
When the war was over, he re-joined the police's TCU and continued working there as a sniper. After the infamous Pretty Blood bomb-attack in Bluelu however, he quickly joined Ethan and Rook and became one of the three founding members of the CMT. 
He obtained his callsign due to his preference of using a small, modified hatchet instead of combat knives during his time in the army.
Criminals, you better stay away from those windows.

==Trivia==
*Being in the Recon-Squad, Dimitri's primary firearm is a sniper rifle. In Chapter 1, he can be seen wielding an M82 anti-materiel rifle. However, when working on Chapter 2, Echo Whiskey decided to scrap real-world firearms entirely, opting for fictional weaponry instead. Due to that, DImitri's sniper rifle has been changed to a modified AMSR 296, which he refers to as the "Heavy Metal" sniper rifle. 
**Unlike most of his fellow CMT-operators, Dimitri may also ocassionally carry a full lenght secondary firearm alongside a sidearm. His secondary weapon is a modified AS-19, which he refers to as "Gadyuka", which from Varstovkan translates to "Viper". 
*Dimitri may prefer using firearms, yet he's still highly effective in fighting with bare hands.
*There are quite a few cut details regarding Dimitri:
**For one, his very early design had him having black eyes instead of coloured ones.
**He was also supposed to be named "Damien" instead of "Dimitri".
**A later scrapped idea was for him to have a cousin named Artyom.
***Artyom was supposed to be a KVR operator for the Varstovkan police. Since Varstovka also isn't spared by PB's activities, he would have travelled to Hunliny at one point in the series, in order to aid his cousin Dima in fighting PB's roots. 
****Artyom was also planned to be a cat malino. This was inspired by the pet-cat of the famous Youtuber "Life of Boris", who Echo Whiskey likes to watch.
