Igor Chernikov's NPCs:
Ilyana Chernikov: Igor's younger sister Ilyana lives in Moscow, working as an interpreter for an import/export firm. She is bright, with a particular knack for languages, but has no interest in business or politics, and seems content with her position. Igor loves her, but wishes she would pay more attention to the big picture, fearing the next big economic changes (whatever they are) will catch her unprepared.
Petra Oligovich: Igor and Petra met while working on a research program to produce a paranormal soldier for the Russian government. The project ended disastrously, and by unspoken agreement the two of them have never discussed it.
Petra is a medical doctor and an expert on paranormal metabolism, currently working as a research assistant at UCSF. She and her husband Viktor have lived in the Bay area for five years now, and while she has no chance of getting a tenure track position at UCSF her position there is reasonably solid (she'll be one of the last fired when the funding cuts come). She and Viktor play soccer with some other foreign researchers at UCSF, a group which Igor has begun to join. Petra and Igor also occasionally meet to go to concerts, something Viktor has never learned to appreciate. While Igor and Petra enjoy their time together, Petra is happily married and there is nothing romantic between them.
Russian Space Program (contacts): Igor's years of moving from project to project have left him with an extensive network of contacts in the space program. He is not particularly close to any single major player, but can obtain information not normally accessible to outsiders.
