Character Information

Description

Descriptions of Yuriy Kostyk are few and far between. Small, diminutive, he tends to attract little attention. Photographs rarely catch his face; though a couple have possibly surfaced from his time in service, there is difficulty connecting the two people as the same without better eyes-on.

Background

Evidence of "The Accountant"'s existence is slim, resulting in an equally as slim CIA file, all requiring closer contact for confirmation; a task long time required, but never quite prioritized.

The subject, referenced as "Yuri" and "The Accountant", hereby referred to as Tango Whiskey Zero-Twelve, is a suspected associate of Viktor Stanislav (TW01), dealing in numbers and low level day-to-day business. It is currently unconfirmed as to his identity before TW, as well as his knowledge of the operation's extent. Possible mark.

Suggested future action: Surveillance.

Information not within the file, as presented here, is considered to be unknown to all, except where specific names are mentioned:

Generic statements about hunting, a family with possible siblings, and little else have preceded what is documented as known about Yuriy Kostyk's past. Conscripted in his teens to most likely the Ukrainian Ground Forces, Yuri is vague on the details of his own training, leading up to the initial meeting of Viktor Stanislav within Ministry service, both as counter-intelligence agents. While a twenty-five year old Viktor was dispatched into the field to hunt agents, Yuri's influence leaves even less of a trail: information distribution, and precision marksmanship. Within the units led by Viktor in both the military and in counter-intelligence, Yuri was easily the youngest, as well as the most naturally intelligent, leading to a tight-knit group often sheltering their "little brother".

Skills

• One Shot, One Kill : Fitting that a man who leaves no trace also be trained in a weapon for the same. Yuri's marksmanship with a sniper rifle is unparalleled amongst those he's worked beside, though it is also a little known fact.

• Assassin : As well as gunman-ship, he possesses talent with blades, and other less official means of quietly ending a target's life. Yuri is proficient in turning anything in a room to his advantage, if necessary. He often chooses other options over killing (though not out of any great concern for human life), which, in turn, makes the eventual assassination even more brutal.

• The Books : Herein, Yuri's most influential role in Viktor's organization — just as secret as the others. While it's generally known, mostly through Viktor's mocking nicknames, that Yuri is good with numbers, it's entirely secret that this translates into him being responsible for all of the organization's number-crunching, financial decisions, and much of the masterminding that Viktor then goes on to execute.

• Multilingual : He can speak, understand, and read several languages, including some military codes. He has advanced skill in code-breaking, as well.

• Interrogation : Basic intelligence training in removing needed information from a target. Yuri has never been witnessed in this practice, but his background, as well as his skills as an assassin, suggest he is not a poor interrogator.

• Survival : Time growing up as a hunter compounded with training while in small military groups has given him access to survival skills, how to exist in the wild without support for long periods of time, as well as camouflage and other tactics.

Advantages

• Ghost : Very little is known about Yuri, and his old and present life remain unlinked in most files, meaning that few are aware of his origins, and, therefore, his skills or any weak points. There are almost no confirmed photos of him, and even his current position in Stanislav's operation is questioned. It is easy for him to slip around, under the radar, even amongst his own compatriots.

• Diminutive : Due to his appearance, and general bearing, he does not present himself as a threat and is therefore not often regarded as one. People frequently let their guard down around him, excusing him as that nerd in the back of the room.

Disadvantages

• Enemies : By the pure nature of his association, any enemies of Viktor's are enemies of Yuri. Though his unknown position affords him some protection, merely by seeming not important enough, it also leaves him vulnerable. No one would think twice about taking out a low-level associate, expecting no outrageous retribution for the crime.

• No Cred : Because of his position's general secrecy, the glorified money-counter is not owed a great amount of respect by other, seemingly higher-ranking members. No one feels they need to listen to an accountant. Even Viktor calls him names. However, a few have mistreated Yuri and then, coincidentally, found themselves on very undesirable missions soon after.

Notes

• Yuri originates from western Ukraine, an area affectionate towards Russian influences, informing some of his habits and speech.
• His importance within Viktor's organization is a tightly held secret, notable only during times of crisis, when Viktor's instinct to protect Yuri trumps secrecy.
• It is currently suspected by some channels that there is an operative within Viktor's organization ready to flip. It is not currently suspected who.
