Updated the above thread with his file card but here is the long text version:
Artur Kulik : Declassified
Like all the Red Shadows Artur Kuliks past is shrouded in rumors, he is believed to have been born into a hard life in the Port of Riga, Latvia, where it is believed he had been a young street fighter who later joined the Russian military out of boredom. There he excelled at military life and through his driving skills, caught the attention of the KGB and was quickly drafted into their ranks. On a routine mission his convoy was attacked and he was seriously wounded and left for the dead. Artur Kulik is believed to have received at this time a life saving operation by Red Shadow Scientist which consisted of a metal plated skull, and a neural enhancer that connects directly to his nervous system granting him enhanced dexterity, agility, resistance to pain and near superhuman strength.
The name Anton Nobokov consistently comes up anytime any investigation into Artur Kuliks past is conducted. However it is unclear if he is one and the same or if it’s simply the name of a street fighter that he fought before joining the military. It is believed that the name Artur Kulik is the name he took on after his life saving operation by the Red Shadows. It is said that he is an amazingly intelligent and sensitive man and a painter of limited ability.
