Early Life[]
Misha Petrov was born to a single mother near the USSR’s North-Caucasus Territory. Since the USSR often negated birth records, Misha has never known his precise birthday. Under Vladimir Lenin’s authority, his family lived in complete poverty.
After immigrating to Moscow in his early teens, he was well-known for being both intelligent and scummy, having undertaken peculiar hobbies such as chess and fraud. He began forced military service in 1942, at the rough age of 17. During his mandatory service, Misha assisted the infamous liberation of Stalingrad in 1943.
Misha’s life from 1943 to 1982, an almost 40 year period, is relatively unknown. It is obvious to many that he was a hardened criminal throughout his adulthood. He also claims to have had a “hot wife,” but no one believes him.
In 1983, Misha scammed the wrong people in Moscow, forcing him to immigrate to the United States at the age of 58 with his nephew, Alexei.

One day, the two attended a horse-racing event.

Misha claims to have “forgotten Russian” because of this accident.
Misha hates American police because they are too stubborn to be bribed. Unlike other mafia figures, he often instigates direct conflict with law enforcement. After several run-ins with the FBI, Misha has grown incredibly paranoid and sometimes believes that even his best friends are undercover agents.
Nowadays, Misha runs a subgroup of the Cosa Nostra crime organization in Los Santos. As an experienced strategist and hands-on leader, he is extremely loyal toward his crew.
