Dimitri Mayakovsky

Dimitri "Dima" Mayakovsky was a soldier in the Russian GRU intelligence agency, and formerly a member of the Spetsnaz, having fought in the Soviet-Afghan War in the 1980s. Dima and two other agents, Kiril and Vladimir are deployed to Northern Iran to capture Amir Kaffarov, a Russian arms dealer who sold the nuclear warheads to the People's Liberation and Resistance, an Iranian terrorist organization Dima and Kiril fight their way through a large force of Kaffarov's body guards to finally reach and interrogate Kaffarov. After getting the necessary information, Dima meets Henry Blackburn, a U.S. Marine deployed in Iran. Dima reveals that Solomon, a rogue CIA agent is actually aiding the PLR, and is planning nuclear attack in Paris and New York. Shortly afterwards, Blackburn is forced to shoot his commanding officer in order to prevent him from shooting both Blackburn and Dima. Blackburn is taken to New York, where he escape interrogations by two CIA agents and intercepts the subway train carrying the bomb, eliminates Solomon, and prevents the nuclear detonation.

Dima, Kiril, and Vladimir later travel to Paris to secure the portable nuclear device. Dima and the two other agents infiltrate the EURONXT Paris Stock Exchange, which is held by PLR terrorists, who released a toxic gas in the building. Donning gasmasks, Dima and the other GRU agents eliminate the terrorists in the building. However, upon exiting the structure, Dima's squad are mistaken for PLR and fired on by French police, who are already engaged in a gun battle with PLR forces in the streets of Paris. Dima, Kiril, and Vladimir fight their way through the three-way gun battle only for a PLR RPG to strike a nearby bus and kill Vladimir in the blast. Dima and Kiril continue into a Metro station, only to find the "bomb" is a decoy. Seconds later, the real bomb detonates in the center of Paris, some distance from Dima and Kiril's location. Dima and Kiril survive the blast, but Dima is later diagnosed with radiation poisoning.
