the tragic story of Sacha Romanov


Sacha was born in Russia and into a chaotic family setting. When he was very young, his Father was shipped off to fight in the second world war. For a large portion of his life, he lived with his Mother, whom was manic depressive and had many other mental disorders.
Just after Sacha turned 10 years old, his Mother committed suicide. And so, he was sent off to live with his cousin, Luka, and his family, which was also in a very broken state.
When Sacha turned 13 years old, his Father returned from the war, and so Sacha left to live with him. Almost immediately after he returned, his Father formed a gang, a Bratva.
Forcibly, Sacha was involved with the gang, his Father wanting to make use of him. It was then that Sacha discovered that he had an affinity for guns and weapons, and quickly learned how to assemble or disassemble firearms.
When Sacha reached the age of 16 years old, he became the owner of his very own guns and ammunitions shop, which was used as a front for human trafficking in his Father's mob.
Shortly afterwards, Sacha fell into a downward spiral and became a severe alcoholic, as well as a sex and drug addict.

I'm sure people on FA really aren't interested in this kind of stuff, but I feel like the character's backstory is important enough to include. @u@;
