==History==

Pavel Vasilyovech Krepuskin, 'Pasha' to his friends, was born in Kiev in 1886 and went to military school at Imperial Nicholas Military Academy, St Petersburg where he was (un)fortunate enough to be trained by the future General Brusilov in the Cavalry Academy. His youth was idealistic, but the Revolution of 1905 when he was 17 brought home the inequality of his dear Mother Russia. The reforms, too few and too late, were amazing to him as he had little to compare them to. The next revolution, after his was more worldly, would surprise him not at all.

He served in The First World War as a'' 'Rotmistr'/'Rittmiester' ''(Captain) of Cavalry and soon enough ended up serving under his old tutor Brusilov and had to bear the commander's need for energy and aggression. While the man was a great commander, he was difficult to soldier under and his troops - like all of Russia - were exhausted. Still, they won the 'Brusilov Offensive' but his unit was decimated. Shortage of horses led to him serving dismounted aboard armoured trains for the rest of the war. This sort of war; fast, modern and mechanised appealed to Pavel and he officially transferred to the Armoured Train Corps in 1916, serving as sub commander of scouts on the 'Cossack' in Poland, Austria and Serbia.

When the war fell apart the trains went to the Bolsheviks, but Pavel did not go with them. He was an ''nepredreshentsi'' or 'unpredetermined'; he believed the civil war should stop and a Russia-wide plebiscite held. He left for Germany through the porous border and scrubbed around Berlin looking for any work he could get as his Russia changed beyond his recognition. In 1918 he got the job as chauffeur to Victoria Woods, who he calls 'Viktoriya' of course. The friendly term between Russians for the name is 'Vika', but he would never her address her such a way in front of strangers. Likewise, the name 'James' in 'James Stewart' he renders as 'Yakov', or 'Yashi' if on a familiar basis. The other player's names are untranslatable to him and he has trouble with them.

Pavel is tall, slim waisted but heavy around the shoulders with black hair slightly too long to be reputable and a blue jaw under his slavic cheek-bones. His idea of discipline is a bit harsh from his Russian military days and he's liable to beat the daylights out of people being impudent to his employer. When not on duty he smokes vile black machorka cigarettes and sips imported vodka he buys from Polish traders.
