Vladimir Gorsky

"I have a bone to pick with SPYDER, all right? [...] They destroyed my business when they didn't pay me. Nobody does that to Vladimir Gorsky. So I tracked them down here, and I'm going to get my revenge."

- Vladimir Gorsky in Spy School Goes South Vladimir Gorsky is Russian and one of the world's most successful illegal arms dealers (along with Paul Lee). Cyrus Hale suspects he might be a frontman for the latter. SPYDER buys weapons from him but subsequently attempts to kill him while he is visiting the White House (Spy School Secret Service). Looking for revenge, Vladimir chases after Joshua and his splinter group to the Aquarius Resort. He already has confronted Catherine Hale.

Appearance & Personality
"He's lost some weight, dyed his hair, grown a beard, and gotten a tan. Also, he was wearing sunglasses and the most horrid Hawaiian shirt."

- Catherine Hale in Spy School Goes South

During his visit to the White House, Vladimir was described as a "sketchy businessman." Later, he disguised himself to track down SPYDER to the Aquarius Resort.

Vladimir is far smarter and more competent than Paul Lee, and he is able to handle himself decently well in stressful situations. He speaks perfect English with a subtle Russian accent, although his Italian is weakness.
