## Biography

### Black Dolphin and Brent Hall

Volkov is a known mercenary and assassin known for fluid loyalties and working for the highest bidder. He has been known to Interpol since at least the mid-90s. At some point in 2010, Volkov was convicted for an unknown crime and sentenced to twenty years in Black Dolphin Prison in Russia. ("Cornwall")

In February 2023, Irina Polyakov offered him to the QIA as an exchange for Sacha Bell, believing they would want him for his future crimes, but as this would have caused Paradox, they declined the offer. However, shortly afterwards, when Bell was taken into Russian custody anyway, he ended up becoming cellmates at Black Dolphin with Volkov. ("Moscow", "Ghosts")

During the Black Dolphin mission, Volkov teamed up with Hall and escaped with him, thanks to the efforts of the London Field Team and two modified amps ("Bell", "Voyna"). He continued working for Hall, taking him both to and from York in the year 2008. ("Destiny", "Ascension")

### Future

At some point after this, Hall will send Volkov back to 2019, to Lower Penbridge, Cornwall, where he will supposedly cause a quantum infraction involving a fatal car crash.

However, the car crash did not in fact occur; instead Volkov gassed Agents Sarah Cunnington and Ethan Taylor and held them hostage live on the internet. His plan was to force Sarah to Jump 24 hours into the future, arriving directly in front of a televised royal press release, thereby proving the existence of time-travel. As an incentive, he threatened to kill Ethan if she didn't comply with his demands.

However, Volkov's plans were foiled by Captain Tasneem Hafiz and the efforts of the London Hub, and Volkov subsequently escaped. Before he escaped, Agent Enora Gallou managed to acquire his tablet, on which was information about a possible new infraction, against Pierre Tolbert in 1994. ("Cornwall")

*However, it was later revealed in "Enora" that she had falsified this data.*

Volkov was seen again in Luxembourg, where he seemed older than before, and where he was targeting Marco Cattivelli, a European Court of Justice judge. His plan was foiled once again by the London Field Team, but during the standoff he was killed by Jack Harringer ("Luxembourg"). It was later revealed that the reason for him being targeted was because he had been supplying quantum shift data, via an implanted tracking device, for Brent Hall. ("Ted")

Sarah later learned that during the Cornwall mission, Volkov had been working for Brent Hall, and that the infraction had never been due to occur after all, as it had merely been a ploy so that Volkov could abduct Sarah and force her into expanding her abilities as a Natural. ("Revelations")
