Commander
"Some call me traitor. Others call me a disbeliever in the cause. I call myself an opportunist who chose to keep his head."

- Arytom Vondas

Name: Arytom Vondas

Nationality: Russian

Side: Allies

Country: Soviet Union

Bio: Arytom Vondas was born in 1890 to wealthy parents, and grew up in a life of privilege. However, Arytom craved excitement, and joined the Russian military shortly before the First World War. The violence and brutality on the front left many dead, but Arytom was able to stay ahead and stay alive, ultimately working his way up to becoming a Captain just weeks before the onset of the Russian Revolution. As it became clear that the Bolsheviks would win out over the ruling class, Arytom quickly changed sides, assisting the Leninist forces in numerous conflicts before the fall of Nicholas II. Having worked his way into a position of influence, Arytom would once again pick a side during the power struggle that ensued from Lenin's death, and wound up becoming one of Stalin's most trusted commanders. As war with Germany looms, Arytom is more than ready to defend his nation and prove his worth to his people.
