Biography

Childhood

Piotr grew up on a farm in Russia with his two parents, brother and sister, Illyana. They were a very close-knit family. They survived the fall of the communist government, but politics lead them to stay unwealthy. A young Piotr, newly manifested and wanting to help his family, inadvertently started working for the Russian Mafia, providing protection and security. When he realised exactly who he was working for, he quit. However, Mafia ties are not so easily broken, and fearing for the safety of his family and under investigation by the police, he left his home to journey to the US. During his travels there he discovered Charles Xavier and his school, and enrolled. His parents later sent the seven year old Illyana to join him, desiring her to get the benefit of a Western education.


Living At The X-Mansion

By the events of X2, Piotr and Illyana had been at the school for some years. Being quiet and reserved and self-conscious of his heavily-accented English, Piotr kept to himself, focussing on his sister's welfare. The young Kitty Pryde developed a crush on him, which they eventually resolved into a friendship. A brief flirtation with Sam Guthrie made him realise he was gay, and when Warren Worthington returned to the mansion, the two soon got involved in a relationship.

Following his completion of his schooling, Piotr remained at the mansion as the Art teacher and an X-Man. His strength made him an asset on missions requiring brawn rather than stealth, and he devoted himself to learning every aspect and nuance of his powers. He was not popular in the school, however - a skilled artist, he was not a good teacher, and his old-fashioned ways and morals led to clashes with the more problematic students, especially Amanda Sefton, who coined the nickname "The Pillock". He also clashed with the grounds keeper, Cain Marko, the two coming to blows.

Piotr's Mafia connections were revealed during an ill-fated ambush by Shiro's Yakuza relatives. The lack of knowledge about both young men's connections spurred arguments on the journals about the safety of the school, and Piotr withdrew even further, associating only with Warren and Illyana. Then disaster struck - Illyana was kidnapped by the demon lord Belasco, returning to Earth aged to adolescence and a far different person than his little Snowflake. The two clashed over her change in personality and contempt for him and his fears (fueled by Amanda's suspicions) of what she had become, and in a loud, public argument, he disowned her. It was not a popular move.

Shortly afterwards, Piotr left the mansion to undergo intensive training as a bodyguard, for the purposes of becoming such to Charles Xavier. His return was welcomed by Warren, but few others, and he withdrew upon himself even further. His life revolved around Warren and the X-Men.


In April 2006, Piotr left the mansion with Warren to join Alison Blaire and Haroun al-Rashid in creating the West Coast Annex.

West Coast, Travel & Return

While over on the West coast Piotr & Warren's relationship began to fall apart. Due to Warren spending more time with clients and Piotr (after some prompting) starting to become involved with community projects around the city, bringing art to under privileged kids. By the time that Jean Grey & Scott Summers came to the West Coast Annex it was obvious that their relationship had fallen apart & Warren left the Annex.

During this time Piotr went into a slump which only ended when his friends suggested that he tasks some time traveling around to regain his head space. Piotr traveled, basically uneventfully, Home to visit his family, the continued around Europe, Asia & even spent some time in Australia before heading back to America.

When he returned he realized that he no longer felt part of a community at the West Coast Annex and began to talk to Xavier about a change of space. When the community group that he had been working with made talk about taking their operation to other area's Piotr volunteered to take it to New York & accepted a position back at Xavier's.
