Diagnosed with autism, savant syndrome and hyperthymesia while he was still fairly young, **Pavel Danilovich Chernenko** (Russian: **Павел Данилович Черненко**) has dazzled both Russian and American audiences with his uncanny ability to solve complex math problems. At the age of 10, he made headlines by managing to solve the Pythagorean Theorem. At the age of 15, he revealed himself to be one of the youngest martial artists, killing a thug with his bare hands after witnessing the robber killing his father during a robbery.

It was later revealed that he had been trained by his father, a former Soviet Army officer, since the age of 13.

## Biography

### Early life and accomplishments

Born in Russia in 2002, Pavel was not exactly a "normal child"; he could solve complex math equations at the age of 4 and by the age of 5 he could understand college level algebra, something that stunned his parents. On December 26, 2004, Pavel was a witness to the Indian Ocean Tsunami; he'd been vacationing with his family in India at the time and was swept away by the tsunami after failing to reach higher ground in time. His family presumed that he had died, but unbeknownst to them, he had actually survived, albeit with a head injury.
After spending three days at sea, Pavel was finally found by rescuers and airlifted to a hospital, where he was united with his family. While in the hospital, he revealed an abnormally large amount of details regarding his past and his experience during the tsunami itself, leading doctors to realize that his head injury left him with hyperthymesia. He feels as though the revelation is a double edged sword; while he remembers happy moments from his past, he remains haunted by memories of seeing people die during the Indian Ocean tsunami.

### Diagnosis

At the age of 10, Pavel was formally diagnosed with savant syndrome, which explained his uncanny ability to solve complex math equations at such a young age. The news shocked his mother but thrilled his father, who considered making arrangements for Pavel to take more challenging classes and transition to middle school early. Pavel was initially afraid of this arrangement but after some difficult conversations with his father, he relented and was transferred to 7th grade at the age of 11. After finishing 7th grade, Pavel and his family moved to the United States of America. During the summer after finishing 7th grade, Pavel's father started training him in martial arts, believing that it was time for the boy to learn how to "fight fire with fire."

### First blood

During his time in the United States, the young boy got his first taste of violence; in spring of 2013 Pavel happened upon Lloyd Wilson, a mentally disturbed man, torturing Michelle Reese, a young woman that Lloyd was holding captive. Enraged by what he saw, Pavel confronted the man and later killed him using advanced hand-to-hand combat techniques atypical of a mere child when Lloyd attempted to murder Pavel along with Michelle. Stunned by his own actions, Pavel immediately called 911 and told the dispatcher what had happened. When police questioned him, Pavel claimed that he had actually intended to incapacitate, not kill, Lloyd and that in his anger he went too far.

### Family tragedy and adoption

Pavel's life would soon be rocked by two tragedies: in 2013 his father was killed in front of him while trying to stop a robbery. In a rage, Pavel killed one of the robbers himself and incapacitated the other. Two years later, his mother, who'd become a prostitute out of desperation to provide for the family as a single mother, died of STDs. Traumatized, the now-orphaned Russian boy turned to his neighbor, ER nurse Tabatha Reese, who took the guy in out of compassion and pity. Tabatha has been Pavel's surrogate mother ever since.

### Pavel's War on Racism

In December of 2020, Pavel went to the city of Babylon City as part of a Christmas Break vacation. While there, he was mugged by a group of hooligans. Destitute, Pavel wandered the streets for weeks, feeling hopeless. However, fortune would smile on him; two weeks after the robbery, Pavel was taken in by a family of African-Americans; Abdullah Hammond, his wife Shawna, and his son Leeland, who happened to be members of the Babylon Coalition. They even helped him get a job in their neighborhood, a primarily-African American district of New Babylon known as Elwood Hollow, or simply, The Hollow.

Unfortunately, Babylon City turned out to be even more hostile to the young Russian-American than his father before him; a white supremacist group Neo-Aryan Brethren had taken over the city several years ago. The Neo-Aryan Brethren happened to observe Pavel's interactions with the African-Americans and began working on an elaborate murder plot to kill him, simply because he associated with colored folks. In addition, Pavel found out from an investigative journalist named Evelyn W. Anderson and a lawyer named that a casino had been recently built and the casino was funding racial violence against people of color by the Neo-Aryan Brethren. Pavel took to social media in an attempt to make this information public, which caught the attention of the Neo-Aryan Brethren.

Mere days after this revelation, Pavel fell victim to an assassination attempt by The Neo-Aryan Brethren during a lunch date with a neighbor of his named Raylee. While Pavel was unable to prevent the Neo-Aryan Brethren from slaughtering the Hammonds, injuring Ernest with a shotgun blast and killing Raylee with a grenade, Pavel was able to save fellow patron Helen Moore and successfully evacuate her from the onslaught, although he was shot and injured in the process. After escaping the massacre, Pavel was taken in by Jean-Christophe Vaganay. Father Vaganay became a spiritual adviser and adoptive father to Pavel while he lived in New Babylon, who also happened to be the adoptive father of Ernest Courvoisier, a mixed-Arab-French native of Babylon City.

Pavel learned of the rampant corruption in the city from Ernest Courvoisier and decided that something needed to be done to fix the corruption. Jean-Christophe Vaganay voiced his agreement but opposed taking the law into one's own hands. Ernest, however, was consumed by vengeance and while Pavel legally gathered a network of people willing to testify against the Neo-Aryan Brethren, Ernest waged a one-man vigilante war against the Neo-Aryan Brethren. While Pavel disagreed with Ernest's methods, the latter's vigilante campaign against the Neo-Aryan Brethren ultimately worked out in his favor, as Ernest's vigilante actions emboldened the citizens of the city enough to come forward and testify against the Neo-Aryan Brethren in droves.

Pavel and Ernest's actions eventually caught the attention of the Neo-Aryan Brethren's leader Jamie Moore, who learned that Pavel had survived the shooting at the bar. Determined to permanently destroy him, Jamie ordered his men to kidnap Helen Moore and her sister Ronda in an attempt to lure Pavel to an abandoned amusement park so he could be killed out of public view. Unfortunately, Jamie's scheme backfired when Ernest Courvoisier, still seething from the murder of his dearest neighbors, collaborated with Pavel to rescue the women; the two infiltrated the fun park, then proceeded to brutally massacre Jamie's men. Upon reaching Jamie's son Austin, who was holding the girls captive in an abandoned office near a broken down amusement park ride, Pavel engaged in a brutal hand-to-hand fight against Austin, who was able to beat Pavel down but was incapacitated by Ernest Courvoisier, who proceeded to hang Austin to death from the fun park's Ferris Wheel while Pavel escaped with the Moore sisters.

After escaping with his life, sometime later a mutual friend of Helen's directed Pavel to the rural town of Sinclair, about three hours west of Babylon City. There, he met Stanley Saint Fort, a prominent Black Lives Matter supporter, and his daughter Roxanne, nicknamed "Roxy".

### The End of Death

The End of Death brought massive changes to Pavel Chernenko; he first learned of it after Erasmo told him of a snake that survived being pecked by a goose despite having its neck broken. He later saw the effects of the End of Death for himself when he saw a series of news bulletins showing people surviving things that would have normally killed them. While his friend Erasmo Weedman went vegan as a result of seeing animals in agony while unable to die, Pavel continued to eat animals despite seeing animals in agony, but he went eventually went vegan as well in the year 2023, the turning point being the time he listened to an audio recording of a cow in agony while being experimented on by scientists.

## Personal details

### Habits and beliefs

Pavel has a habit of talking out loud. His biggest rationalizations for this is that without it, he cannot "hear himself think." He also seems to have trouble paying attention during conversations, having been observed zoning out mid-sentence or staring off into space while talking to people. In addition, he has a habit of venting about his life's problems with people he barely knows, just to make himself feel better about his life situations, even if the people he is talking to are total strangers.

He also has a habit of disassembling and disposing of guns that he steals off of slain or incapacitated enemies, in a bid to ensure that they cannot harm him anymore, before tossing them into trash cans. He picked this habit up from Bill Maglio, after having witnessed him do such a thing on multiple occasions. He first starts by removing the gun's magazine, then proceeds to strip the gun down into its component parts and dumping them all into the nearest trash can or dumpster.

Pavel is very much anti-abortion, but for him the issue isn't the humanity of the fetus. Rather, it's the principle of probable cause. Even if it's granted that the fetuses are not humans and even if pregnant women have the bodily autonomy to decide what to do with their bodies, zygotes and fetuses are still living entities and he believes that it is murder to kill them because they are being targeted for death without probable cause.
It is for this reason that Pavel has frequently compared abortion to war crimes like 9/11 and the Holocaust, a move that has infuriated many pro-choice advocates and has led to many believing that Pavel is anti-Semitic. He has defended his views with the following:

> "*Anyone who thinks I am anti-Semitic or insensitive for comparing to the Holocaust or the September 11th terrorist attacks has obviously misunderstood the whole point of the argument. I am not slapping Jews in the face. Rather I am pointing that abortion and war crimes all have one thing in common: killing without probable cause. The Jews did nothing to warrant being imprisoned in concentration camps, killed in gas chambers, and forced to work to death. Similarly, unless you can prove to me that unwanted pregnancies are a crime against humanity under the United Nations, or a war crime under the Geneva Conventions, it stands that abortion is murder because the zygote, or fetus did nothing to actively harm the health of the pregnant woman. Similarly, the victims of September 11, 2001 did nothing that warranted such a horrendous form of murder as crashing airplanes full of people into buildings full of people. Osama bin Laden executed a full-blown attack on the United States’ civilian population without probable cause, which made the events of September eleventh an act of mass murder. It is the same with pregnant women. The fetus, or the zygote, depending on what stage of development you are at, did nothing to actively harm the woman and is therefore innocent. Killing the zygote or fetus at any stage in the pregnancy is not healthcare, but is instead brutal murder.*"

In response to claims that a high statistic regarding maternal deaths should be the main reason for keeping abortions safe and legal, Pavel has caused even more outrage by claiming that there is a form of fraud going on with the research into maternal deaths, having convinced himself that the numbers are actually a lot lower than claimed and therefore are being manipulated in order to rationalize such a heinous act as abortion. Furthermore, he believes that pro-choice women are "idiots" for claiming that abortion will solve the maternal death problem, even if the numbers are correct. He believes that the notion that abortion will stop maternal deaths stems from a misguided view of what causes maternal deaths to begin with. He cites an article written by Hartford Healthcare that claims that the real cause of maternal deaths is due to "limited access to healthcare, poverty and untreated chronic conditions such as hypertension, obesity and diabetes." The idea that abortions will stop maternal deaths, to Pavel, is outrageous. He instead advocates for measures to stop obesity and diabetes if women care about their bodies so much, and views murdering the zygote as a moral copout that makes women "cowards", not upholders of women's rights.
Despite holding these views, Pavel is not vegetarian, or vegan, although he briefly considered going vegan at the age of 13. In response to arguments from animal rights activists that it is hypocritical to view unborn humans with such value and be morally content with killing animals, Pavel argues that the consumption of animals and plants is exempted from the probable cause argument against killing, since the need to sustain one's own body through the use of animal and plant consumption certainly qualifies as probable cause to kill them and therefore it is morally unreasonable to call the killing of an animal or a plant murder.

The principle of probable cause also forms the basis for Pavel's philosophy regarding the morality of violence in general. If there's no justifiable reason to use violence at all, its use is immoral.

Pavel is a Russian Orthodox Christian, having been raised in the faith from birth. He is very firm in his faith and often gets defensive when people try to challenge his beliefs. Pavel is quite critical of the Problem of Evil, an objection that he believes is really an excuse to turn God into a genie. Being loving and/or omnipotent, he argues, does not mean God is entitled to do fulfill all of humanity's wishes like a genie. Similarly, Pavel believes the Problem of Hell stems from the same line of thinking, that as humans, we have no right to question God's forms of justice, since we are not the ones who created the system. All arguments against the doctrine of Hell in the Bible are really attempts by humanity to "bullying" a Holy God into bending to the will of His own creation, an act that Pavel believes is the "greatest sin" humanity is guilty of.

Pavel is an independent voter; he believes that alignment with a political ideology is unnecessary and the only important thing when voting is when your candidate aligns with your values.

## Abilities

* **Enhanced memory**: Brought on by the hyperthymesia, Pavel can remember great volumes of information, in greater detail and for much longer than the average human. He calls this a double-edged sword.
* **Martial artist:** Pavel been trained in numerous killing techniques by his ex-military father. He is quite skilled in hand-to-hand combat, utilizing boxing Systema, the official martial art of the Russian Army, boxing, Krav Maga, and even Savate in his arsenal of martial arts.

* **Master escape artist**: A master of stealth, Pavel can easily evade enemies seeking to eliminate him. When he's tied up, Pavel seems to always find a means of escape.
* **Multilingualism**: Pavel can speak his native Russian, but is also proficient in American Sign Language, Mandarin Chinese, French, German, a bit of Italian, and even Arabic, though his accent is known to be poor.

### Weaknesses

* **Spatial awareness**: Because he is on the autism spectrum, Pavel has issues with spatial judgment and spatial awareness. During the early portions of the COVID-19 pandemic, Pavel struggled to stay within six feet apart from other people.

## Weapons

* **Chess board**: During the brawl against Lloyd Wilson, Pavel attempted to incapacitate Lloyd with a chessboard before being disarmed.
* **Karambit**: Pavel carries a Karambit on himself, which he has used to deadly effect.

## Trivia

* The first time Pavel ever shot a gun was at the age of 13. He "enjoyed it immensely."
* Many people worry that Pavel's position concerning the morality of killing may turn him into a terrorist or a serial killer. So far he hasn't shown any homicidal tendencies and even counters by claiming that terrorists and serial killers are really people with mental illnesses that lead them to rationalize killing without probable cause.
* He is a direct descendant of Joseph Stalin.
* In accordance with the above, he sees Stalin as an "embarrassment to the Russian people" because of the human rights abuses committed under Stalin
* Pavel's father was inspired to train him in various martial arts and killing techniques after reading news articles about women and children who were kidnapped and murdered by their captors, rationalizing that if you "don't learn how to kill, others will exploit your inexperience and kill you first."
* For a long time, Pavel thought he was the first Russian to sing the black spiritual "God's Gonna Trouble the Water". He later found out that the first Russian to have that honor was actually his friend Dimitri Petrenko.
* He does not like having to wear a tie, due to a bad experience at a wedding where someone accidentally made a tie too tight and Pavel felt like he was being strangled. As of 2021, he still has an aversion to wearing a tie.
* He has eaten a variety of different foods; in freshman year of high school, he was obsessed with stir-fried clams. From 2021 to 2023, he was fond of (air) fried clams, until he went vegan in 2023.
* Throughout the Delta Verse series of stories, Pavel's accent seems to evolve from one story to the next. In some story chapters, his Russian accent is quite obvious, while in others it is barely noticeable. This implies that Pavel is slowly getting better at pronouncing English words correctly.
* Despite being on the autism spectrum, Pavel does not seem to have much trouble with social boundaries. For the most part he seems to have a pretty good idea of what to say and what not to say to an individual. That being said, he still finds himself saying inappropriate things at times or reacting inappropriately to certain situations, but these incidents can be explained away as symptoms of Pavel's ongoing struggle to comprehend the way Americans talk and act.
* He has watched Dominion before, but didn't take it seriously until the End of Death.
* He is horrible at parallel parking.

## Quotes

*"Many have had the audacity to call me a potential serial killer, or a terrorist-in-the-making because of my views on violence and probable cause. But there is big difference between serial killers, terrorists and myself. Serial killers and terrorists are merely people suffering from mental illness, which lead them to rationalize killing without probable cause. I do not do such a thing, therefore it is unreasonable to call me a future terrorist or serial killer."*

- Pavel responding to concerns that his views on violence may shape him into a serial killer or a terrorist.

*"The reason why people are so angry at me for standing with Trump is because they do not realize what they really stand for by supporting Joseph Biden."*

- Pavel regarding why loyalists of Joseph Biden hate him.

*"You can declare and decree all you want, but you will end up wasting energy. God still will not grant your wish. He is not a genie for you to use for your own ends."*

- Pavel explaining why he is against the concept of "Declaring and decreeing" that is taught by the Word of Faith movement.

*"The Problem of Evil showcases human hypocrisy at its finest. Many do not realize that for God to remove all the evil and suffering in the world, He needs to eliminate one thing that God gave to show His love for humanity: free will. This truly makes God unloving. Therefore, people who complain to God about allowing evil and suffering in the world at the hands of their own God-given free will truly do not know what they really want."*

- Pavel regarding the Problem of Evil.

*"Those of you who claim I was on the wrong side of history for voting for Donald Trump have a lot of explaining to do when you face Christ at the Last Judgment."*

- Pavel in a Facebook post directed at Biden supporters who claim Pavel was "on the wrong side of history" for voting for Donald Trump in the 2020 election.

*"It will be a truly sad day for the United States when Americans decide that the only way to save democracy is with bloodshed, even if there is probable cause for it."*

- Pavel on why he hopes Americans won't have to resort to a civil war to stop a fraudulent presidency.
