Vladislav cuts a slightly forlorn figure these days, being wanted by his own government, the local White Russians and other communist-hating factions. He can often be found in night clubs drinking the strongest alcohol they have and reading a history book or entertaining an English or American woman who often find him impossibly tragic/romantic. Sometimes he seizes a piano and plays sad tunes (tolerably) until the manager politely talks him out of it. In the Shanghai gun-for-hire trade Vladislav is known as the Teacher.

	During the last few months Vlad has worked as the aide of Ulbrecht von Bernhard, a German military advisor to the KMT. He seems a decent enough man for someone from the hated noble class; at least he likes to party hard. This job makes him, once again, a first lieutenant. Vlad can march with the best of them and run a rifle drill in his sleep, which makes him valuable if not always highly enthusiastic.

	Vladislav is a long-time boarder at the Metropole Hotel on the Nanking Road, near the racetrack.
