## Biography

Raskoln Turkov was born into a life of tragedy and hardship. Losing his mother during his birth and his father to depression, he was left to fend for himself at a young age. Growing up in a local orphanage in the Solntsevo district of Moscow, he developed a cold and stoic view of the world. However, he found solace in the Orthodox church, where he became a devout follower at a young age. At the age of 13, he was drafted into the Red Army by an officer who scoured orphanages for young bodies to serve the interests of the state. But Turkov was never an obedient servant of the Red Army, and he suffered many beatings for his insubordination. During the Soviet-Afghan War, he served as a paratrooper.

During the Soviet-Afghan War, Turkov was tasked with leading a group of paratroopers on a mission to take out a key enemy stronghold. The mission was high-risk, and the group faced heavy resistance from the enemy. Despite the odds, Turkov remained calm and collected, and he was able to rally his troops and lead them to victory. His quick thinking and strategic planning helped the group overcome the enemy's defenses and complete the mission successfully.

After the mission, Turkov's superiors recognized his leadership skills and recommended him for a promotion. He was given command of a larger group of paratroopers, and he continued to prove himself as a capable leader. His troops respected him for his bravery and his ability to make tough decisions under pressure.

Not so long later he was court-martialed for killing innocent civilians. He was sentenced to the Siberian Gulag, where he suffered a permanent scar across his eye from a brawl in the mines.

His upbringing and lack of morals gave him an edge in the harsh cold of the Gulag, and he quickly became a respected figure among the other prisoners. It was in the Gulag that Turkov was introduced to several members of the Solntsevskaya Bratva, who wore the prison tattoos of stars on their knees and chests. He quickly became embedded in the Bratva. Later, when asked to prove his loyalty during the gang war of the early 1970s, Turkov and his brothers in the Bratva were tasked with taking out the Chechen mafia. The Chechens were a formidable opponent, and the Bratva faced heavy losses in the early stages of the conflict. However, Turkov's leadership skills once again proved invaluable. He was able to rally his brothers and come up with a plan to take out the Chechens. Together, they launched a surprise attack on the Chechen stronghold and were able to cause mass casualties to the Chechen side while suffering almost none to 0 at their side. Word traveled fast within the organization and Turkov quickly gained his first stars.

However, they were all sent to prison not long after. While in prison, Turkov gained more stars, which conveyed a prisoner’s status. When worn on the knees, the stars were a sign of a prisoner who commanded respect, and Turkov made it clear that he would never get on his knees in front of anyone. A year later, the Bratva tasked him with setting up racketeering operations in Los Santos, United States alongside a couple more of his brothers, and smuggling arms and drugs. Turkov saw this as an opportunity to prove himself yet again he eagerly accepted the mission.
