Though he’s a thug, he’s an admirably pragmatic one.

Vlad is the penultimate product of the system that trained him and the system he once served. An utterly ruthless , soul-less apparatchik who’d literally kill his own mother if ordered to do so.

Where the rest of us might be, well, that’s a different story.
