History
The Assassin was a member of a terrorist organization called the Committee for Free Emigration which aimed at getting back at the Soviet Union for the unfair treatment of their people. The group that they were a member of remains unrevealed, though one member stated that their people had been in bondage for 4000 years.
The Assassin tried to capture the Red Guardian during her stay in the U.S. to use as part of their plot against the U.S.S.R. The group that he worked for was aware of the Guardian's alter-ego of Tania Belinsky, renowned Soviet neurologist, and planned to use her to blackmail the Soviet government. The Assassin was defeated, however, in combat with the Red Guardian, who was able to escape after their confrontation[1].
The Assassin's subsequent activities were not revealed.Attributes
