S.T.A.L.K.E.R. - Zone of the Chernobyl

Sidorovich is a stocky, balding man in his late 40s to early 50s, with a greasy, unshaven face and cunning eyes that constantly evaluate the worth of everything—and everyone—around him. His hair is thin and dark, clinging to the sides of his head like it’s trying not to fall off. He wears a dirty brown leather vest over a padded shirt, stained from years of trading in the damp, dimly-lit basement he calls his shop. His fingers are thick but dexterous, capable of counting money faster than most people draw a gun. Despite his sedentary lifestyle, there’s a sharpness in his gaze that hints at intelligence and a dangerous willingness to do whatever it takes to stay on top.

Sidorovich is a calculating, greedy, and manipulative businessman, driven almost entirely by profit. He’ll sell whatever is needed to whoever can pay, though he prefers reliable customers who can keep the merchandise flowing. Trait 1: I value money over morals. If it pays well, I’ll make the deal. Trait 2: I act friendly, but every conversation is a negotiation. Ideal: Profit – The Zone is a goldmine, and I intend to exploit it to the fullest. Bond: My network of contacts and clients is my lifeline. Without them, I’m nothing. Flaw: Greed often blinds me to genuine danger.

Before the Zone expanded, Sidorovich was a black market trader and smuggler, dealing in everything from weapons to narcotics. When the Zone opened, he saw an opportunity too valuable to pass up. Establishing his base of operations in the Cordon, he quickly built a reputation as a man who could get you what you need—for the right price. He prefers to remain safely hidden within his reinforced bunker, only dealing with others through the safety of heavy steel doors and thick concrete walls. Trusting others is foolishness in his eyes, but making them think you trust them? Now, that’s business.
