Mikhail Pulikovsky

Background
Pulikovsky is a member of the Chechen Democratic Partizans and second-in-command behind its leader, Mikhas Ivankov. He seeks the end of Russians living in Chechnya. Pulikovsky holds faith in Ivankov but he doesn't trust associates Mara Aramov and Mihai Niculescu.

Plot
Ivankov trusted Pulikovsky to clear out a chateau in Belarus that the CDP used alongside a nearby section of barns to test the Omega Strain with infected cattle. The Agency was investigating CDP activities by the time, and Pulikovsky captured pilot Alima Haddad. After apparently killing her (in fact sending her to the Chechen terrorist base), he led a brutal interrogation of Gary Stoneman, who mounted a lone wolf assault on the chateau to find Haddad, but Agency operative Cobra rescued Stoneman inside the chateau. A violent battle in which the operative and Stone took on the antagonist ended with Pulikovsky's death.

Personality
Pulikovsky is devoted to his line of work and Ivankov's orders. However, he won't hesitate to question his superior. Ivankov can easily become paranoid whenever he feels suspicious about something or someone. He also has a tendency to become angry whenever someone makes a mistake.
