A handsome man in his 50s, Lev holds the lethally dangerous position of worldwide Godfather over the organized crime network E.M.I.C.S. An experienced spy and mafia member since his young years, he runs the organization out of his estate in Voronezh of the Russian Remnant, owing partly to the anarchy in the Remnant, meaning that he doesn't have to worry much about paying off local law enforcement.
Lev has no superpowers except equipment that his counselor Masha Goncharova has crafted for him, but gets by in a world of superpowers by being crafty, cunning, and charismatic.
Lev uses the flight provided by his outfit only in emergencies, to the point where the existence of this capability can be considered a secret. His blaster pistol packs so much power in its punch that its small battery wears out very quickly until recharged, so this sidearm is also saved for emergency use. On the rare occasion that Lev wants to execute someone personally, he does so with a mundane garrote.

ABILITIES [46] + SKILLS [42] + ADVANTAGES [73] + POWERS [24] + DEFENSES [10]
- Motivation - Greed. Lev doesn't believe any amount of money and power is too much, as long as one can still have a somewhat private life.
- Enemies. Lev is the worldwide leader of organized crime. Plenty of law enforcement agents and super-vigilantes would love to bring him to justice, but he is (rightly) even more cautious about internal rivalries, criminals who would love to improve their own standing in E.M.I.C.S. by eliminating his competition or favoritism.
- Aversion. Lev has a moderate preference for avoiding modifying his own body with cybernetics, for no reason that he can describe.
- Player. Lev prefers to have a wide variety of romantic experiences rather than "settling" on a consistent partner. He makes sure he is always closely under guard by bodyguards during his dalliances, though, in case a superpowered honeypot aims to target him while he is most vulnerable.
