Soviet Commander (Red Alert 2)

An extremely talented officer of the Great World War III and Psychic Dominator Disaster, this commander served the Soviet Union well during both conflicts.

Little is known of his life, as almost all information about him is a state secret of the USSR.

Great World War III
From the onset of the Great World War III, the Commander lead his troops bravely and intelligently; scoring critical strikes to American operations in Washington, D.C., before joining with RA2:General Vladimir for a joint assault on the coast of Florida.

Yuri began to take an interest in the Commander's progress, assisting him during an attack on New York City, and suggesting to Premier Romanov that the Commander be given the responsibility to defend Vladivostok from a strike by the Korean Navy.

The Commander then assaulted Paris, capturing the Eiffel Tower. He then assaulted Pearl Harbor, though an opposing Commander saved the facility. The Commander also played an important role in capturing the traitorous Vladimir.

However, the commander's efforts were all for nothing. Even as he was defeating enemies overseas, the Allies managed to use a Chronosphere to send in troops and capture Moscow, thus ending the war.

Psychic Dominator Disaster
Following Soviet defeat, the Commander, alongside his intelligence officer Zofia, was one of the few Soviet Officers that was not imprisoned. However, with Yuri's world domination bid, a new opportunity for Soviet Supremacy arrived; as the Commander was briefed upon the Allies' Time Machine in San Francisco, and set out to capture it.

Though successful in capturing the device, the Soviet forces accidentally used too much power; and the time machine initially sent them back over 60 million years. Defending the machine from viscious dinosaurs, the Commander managed to warp back to the target destination, during the Great World War III.

With this new opportunity, Romanov was able to order the commander to lead the attack Einstein's lab in Germany, which failed in the original timeline; but thanks to the commander's brilliance, succeeded in breaching the defenses and destroying the Chronosphere, guaranteeing Soviet victory.

The Commander then went to London, where after breaking the mind-control Yuri had over an Allied base, assaulted Yuri's base. Of particular note, the Allied special forces agent Tanya and Soviet hero Boris cooperated in destroying Yuri's forces. The next stop was Morocco, where Romanov's plane had been shot down. The Commander rescued Premier Romanov and extracted him safely, despite Yuri's attacks.

The Commander then followed Yuri to an uncharted Pacific Island; destroying the base Yuri had constructed; but the madman had already completed his goal of building a spacecraft and beginning construction of a Moon base. The commander managed to secure a spacecraft of his own, and Soviet cosmonauts and other vehicles and infantry with rebreathers managed to destroy Yuri's base once again, leaving Yuri with just his castle in Transylvania.

The Transylvanian base Yuri had built was surrounded by Allied and Soviet bases; however, the soldiers within them had fallen prey to Yuri's mind control. The Commander's army held fast against combined strikes from Allied, Soviet, and Yuri's forces. Eventually destroying the mind control technology, the Commander freed the Allied and Soviet armies and destroyed the castle. Yuri attempted to escape, however, Zofia interefered and sent him back to the time of the dinosaurs; thus ending his reign.

The world was safe for the now global Soviet Empire, thanks to the commander...
