| “ | Boris: Attention, insects! If you value your miserable lives, stop shooting. I've just armed a nuclear device. If I drop this detonator, it will detonate in seconds. My safety is your safety. Ship Crew Member: (In Russian) Эй, Борис Иваныч, ты чего, если тебя застрелят, нам всем кранты! (Hey, Boris Ivanyich, what are you doing, if you're shot, we are all done for!) If you're shot we'll all die! Boris: [shoots the crew member dead] And that matters to me because...?! As for negotiations: there will be none. My terms are simple.

Jegorov endured his childhood during the harsh poverty conditions and scrutiny of the local and loyal apparatchiks, causing him to cultivate a strong hatred for the USSR regime. He became a criminal at the age of 15 when he started stealing weapons from the Soviets and selling them to Cossack nationalists.
Later, Jegorov was turned to the authority by his father, but he managed to elude the police and went into hiding in the mountains before making his way to Marseilles, where he would join the French Foreign Legion in 1950.
By the end of his service in 1955, Jegorov had established a gun-running route through Turkey and Iran. His gunrunning activities continued after he left the league, culminating in his going into business with the Russian mafia in the mid 1980s where he discover and meet his half brother sergei zavorotko and building up with him a gun-trafficking operation that covered most of the world despite of this sergei took over the organization and arkadij ended up as a smuggler for his younger brother. He also joined Dr. Otto Wolfgang Ort-Meyer's cloning project alongside Lee Hong, Pablo Belisario Ochoa and Frantz Fuchs.
Hitman: Codename 47[]
After getting impatient over Ort-Meyer's setback, Jegorov and the others decided to pressurize him by cutting his funds. However, Ort-Meyer manipulated the ICA and sent 47 to eliminate them all. During the hit, Jegorov was making an arms deal with a local bikers gang with the help of his fellow gun dealer Ivan Zilvanovitch. 47 managed to locate Jegorov via a tracking device in the money briefcase used by the bikers to pay Ivan, before he infiltrated the heavily guarded dock at night, eliminating Jegorov and neutralizing a nuclear bomb on board his ship.
Hitman: Contracts[]
In the flashback of Hitman: Contracts, while attempting to purchase a nuclear bomb, Jegorov was intercepted and surrounded by the Dutch police force and special operations on board his cargo ship. Arming the nuclear device, Jegorov stated that the nuclear device would explode if he were to be shot and drop the device, threatening the SWAT team with it. Despite this, 47 was still able to assassinate Jegorov and neutralize the nuke.
Appearance[]
Jegorov appears as a tall (6'), mildly overweight (240 pounds) man with balding dark hair and a widow's peak hairline, a moustache, shades, two gold chains, a gold tooth, a blue Hawaiian shirt, and a leather belt with a red star on the belt buckle. He has a rather muscular upper body but slender legs. Although he is 66 years old, he appears considerably younger due to fresh organs provided by Dr. Ort-Meyer.
In Contracts, his Hawaiian shirt is red, and only sports one gold chain. He also has noticeably less hair on his head.
He drives a white limousine with the "A A5666" on the number plate and wields a Beretta 92 in Hitman: Codename 47 and a Magnum 500 in Hitman: Contracts.
