Mikhail Dimplebottomovich was born on the 5th March 1953 in Leningrad (now St. Petersburg). Mikhails father was imprisoned in the final weeks of Stalins regime and would die something in the January of 1952 leaving his mother, Olga Dimplebottomovich to live with their grandparents, one of whom was a former merchant in the Russian Imperial Navy and often talked about his 1900 visit to Acordia. Mikhail and his mother fled the Soviet Union in 1958 and would settle in Southport City upon the death of their grandparents. Mikhail quickly fell in love with Acordia but also was shocked at the situation for the working class in the country and would begin developing his beliefs.

Mikhail would graduate from university in 1978 with a degree in Astro-Physics. Whilst loving science he became active in socialist campaigning from 1981 onwards, gaining the nickname "Mad Mick" due to his commanding and often aggressive sounding voice whilst speaking in rallies. He was a major campaigner for LGBTQ+ rights (being quoted for saying "The Ancient Greeks didn't care about sexuality and all of that and they are considered as the founders of western civilisation, why should we in the modern world care either?") as well as supporting those suffering with AIDS. He would stop the campaigns and rallies upon the death of his wife in 2000.

In 2018, Dimplebottomovich would return to politics after a stint as a science teacher in secondary schools and would be elected a MC for Southport City and appointed as the shadow Minister for Education, Science, and Innovation. Mikhail was re-elected in the 2021 election and would be later appointed as Minister for Education, Science, and Innovation. Since 2018, Dimplebottomovich has become known for his clumsiness, once rushing out of a council session forgetting he had left a pasta bake in the oven at his apartment, returning with a sooty suit and burnt moustache. He said in response to the incident "I am indeed clumsy but at least I do it with grace!". He is also noticeably not as "mad" as in his younger days in the 1980s, now being a quiet observer who often jeers at the Christian Democratic MC's.

After the resignation of Maggie Chapman as prime minister and co-leader of the SLP, Mikhail would run in 2022 SLP Co-leadership Election and would win with 39,530 votes to Ethan Prices 19,470. After being elected as co-leader Mikhail would be appointed as Acordia's second Deputy Prime Minister.

In August 2023 upon the resignation of Thomas Holland as prime minister, Dimplebottomovich would become interim prime minister and call the 2023 general election where he would be the SLP candidate for PM. The SLP would narrowly lose the election with 31 seats to the CP 32 seats. Mikhail would take the loss gracefully and return to the opposition benches as Leader Of The Opposition.

Upon a second defeat in the 2028 general election, Mikhail would start the New SLP movement and achieve a victory in the locals as well as bringing the SLP into the lead pollingwise. The New SLP would end up becoming a massive success in the 2033 General Election, securing 42 seats in the council. This meant Mikhail was able to form government with a confidence and supply deal with the Liberal Party. It is worth noting that the SLP was the first party to reach 40 or more seats since the 2018 general election and this was the first time the SLP held the most seats in the council.
