Appearance and personality

V is first seen in the Factory mission, killing a scientist Zero was attempting to rescue by using an explosive collar.

V is a slick, blue-haired, Russian gangster with experience fighting NULL soldiers with a side hobby of snuff filming and probably pornography. He carries a gold plated pistol, a pair of gold painted steel gauntlets, which is capable of blocking bullets and sword strikes and golden teeth.

V is explicitly sadistic, often spending his time torturing and killing people related to chronos. He seems to be personally invested in the chronos operations, as he states that he got his current position in his organization by killing 7 NULL soldiers. He considers his style of torturing and killing to have an "artistic flair".

V looks up to Zero up until the Studio 51 mission, having been under the assumption that Zero wasn't working for an organization and was just a highly skilled serial killer. After Zero turns down his offer to partner up with him, Zero being disgusted with the murder of his neighbours being turned into a snuff film that V sent to Zero, he becomes visibly temperamental. This leads to V killing Omar Al-Qasim in rage after Zero continuously belittles him.

History

After Zero reaches DJ Electrohead in the Club mission, V will kill the DJ if Zero prolongs killing him. Regardless of whether the DJ is killed by Zero or V, V can be seen escaping the club after the DJ is killed. Afterwards, V will leave Zero a gift at Zero's apartment, a VHS recording of V torturing and killing Zero's noisy neighbours.

In the prologue of the Studio 51 mission, V will pull Zero into a limousine and offer to partner up with him, under the impression that Zero is 'The Dragon'. Zero refuses, either by player choice or Zero claiming he works alone, and V kicks him out of the limo. Zero chases V into the Studio 51 building and defeats him, and V is rescued by Snow. It is likely that Snow is who he was calling before the boss fight initiates.

Zero encounters V again in the mansion mission. Zero attempts to work his way through the mansion, but is knocked out by a booby trapped door. V captures him and attempts to interrogate him with Mr. Kissyface, but Zero causes V to lose his temper by patronising and continuously insulting him, firing his gun in the air in anger and causing him to kill Omar Al-Qasim, who V had previously captured. Zero escapes capture and kills Mr.Kissyface, and V flees on a motorcycle.

Zero chases V down the highway and catches up to him, forcing V to board an attack helicopter. Zero destroys the helicopter, leaving V severely wounded. Zero confronts V, but is interrupted by Fifteen, who cuts off both of V's arms and kidnaps him.

V later appears in one of one of Zero's chronos hallucinations, telling him about the effects of chronos withdrawal.

V is last seen in a closed room in Fifteen's hideout, presumably having been tortured to death or been left to bleed to death.

Notes

◼ V will often curse in Russian.
◼ Despite wearing a gold chain with "V" on it, he's surprised you refer to him as "V" while being interrogated.
◼ During the Mansion mission, hitting V with Master of Sword's projectile will cause him to say "♥♥♥♥♥! What was that blue ♥♥♥♥?”
◼ During one of Zeros hallucinations, V will comment on Zeros impending fate of Chronos withdrawal, he is still noticeably missing his arms during the hallucinations, and Zero can comment on it, a comment that V quickly dismisses.
◼ If Zero allows V to use his sword to cut a line in the Limo, V will keep his sword after kicking Zero out, though he will drop it soon after, questioning himself as to why he even took it.
◼ During a fight with Vee in the Studio 51, when the screen starts flashing, one of the masked men appears for a moment - Сomedy, he is sitting in the director's chair.
◼ V has two achievements that can be earned during Zeros interactions with him. The first can be earned after giving him Zeros sword to cut a line in the limo, later reacquiring it at the elevator. The second can be earned during his boss fight, if the player manages to hit V 4 times during the fight without dying.
◼ During V’s interrogation of Zero, he mentions that he has a date with an unspecified woman in the Second District, and doesn’t want to run late to it because of Zero.
