Gregor Zelinsky

"I HAVE CREATED TIME MACHINE!"
 * Gregor

DR. Gregor Zelinski, considered one of the most intelligent minds of Russia developed the USSR's Temporal Displacement Device in a year-long secret project. His device would be used in the mission to eliminate Einstein, shown in the prelude of Red Alert 3, though he is against the decision and worries of the consequences as he tried to stop the assassination when they met Einstein. With resulting creation of the Empire of the Rising Sun, his concerns were shown to be well-founded.

WWIII
"Who knows what nightmares we have created?"
 * Dr. Gregor Zelinsky after the Empire started to attack the Union

During the real World War III, he began to regret what he had done. He knew that it was he who was responsible for the creation of the Empire of the Rising Sun and even the World War III. During the war he was some time with the soviets but then deflected to the Allies whom he gave information about the secret Soviet base in Cuba and about his time machine.

Fate
"You're the mistake... my mistake! Arrgh!"
 * Zelinsky before his death at the end of the Empire Campaign

In Soviet campaign he mysteriously disappeared and his fate is unknown.

In Allies campaign he defected after the Empire defeat to Allies and gave them valuable information about Soviet secret base in Cuba. Rest of his fate is unknown.

In Empire Campaign Emperor Yoshiro and Prince Tatsu learned about Soviet time machine and that that they should never have existed by their cyborg Ackerman who were talking with Zelinsky. When Empire attacked FutureTech HQ where he resided he unleashed total destruction (with some kind of superweapon) destroying most of the Amsterdam. Though Empire managed to bring reinforcements and wipe FutureTech HQ of the map ( though strangely some kind of chrono rift appeared on the HQ just before its destruction). His fate also unknown.

It is possible he will be alive in Uprising.
