Background

 * "I was about to get involved in some serious geopolitical bullshit... but who wants to get stuck on the bottom of the ocean... with three AIC agents and... angry blogger?"
 * ―Pavel
 * Pavel is a Russian sailor and is working on the Messerschmitt submarine which has been upgraded and converted to allow it to be operated by a crew of one; so he is responsible for a variety of roles that range from engineering, maintenance and gunnery to ship's cook. Pavel had been running jobs for the Madrazo Cartel using the Messerschmitt. He was about to work with the IAC. He was making easy money (presumably smuggling) on the Brazil to West Africa trans-Atlantic route. Before that, he had faked a sailing accident for the Governor of Equallity State. Prior to that, he was at the North Pole. He also claims to have previously liberated sensitive documents for the Canadian government. He was active in Russia's post-Soviet era of the 1990s, but is unable to recall his activities as that time was "a hell of a drug." He once abducted the CEO of Longbank on a cruise ship near Cayo Perico in years prior. He also claims to have spent a summer in a Torture Cage after trifling with the Welsh.

Trivia
Much of Pavel's dialog is quite 'meta' and sometimes borders on breaking the fourth wall.
