Strong and intimidating, Timur Kuznetsov (aka Gremlin) is a mountain of a man, but despite physical appearances, he is as intelligent as he is strong. A former member of the Russian Olympic team and a world-weightlifting champion, his physical talents, strong mental aptitude, and sheer determination made him a perfect candidate for the Spetsnaz Guard Brigade’s engineer unit, aka the Bears. The Bears have a reputation as the toughest engineer corps in the world, and Gremlin is their poster boy. Be it physical or mental, Gremlin has never met a challenge he could not overcome or an enemy he could not defeat. Max Claymore is banking on Gremlin living up to his reputation because he’s exactly the kind of one-man wrecking crew Elite Squad need to help bring down UMBRA.
