History

Backstory

Very little is known about Vladimir's past. He was originally an astronaut during the era of the Soviet Union who died, however, his spirit remained attached to the Earth but went insane and was unaware of where he even was or that the Cold War had ended. At some point, he would become the third-ranked assassin in the United Assassins Association.

No More Heroes 2: Desperate Struggle

Travis Touchdown would arrive at a crop field where he'd see Captain Vladimir flying around. Vladimir thought Travis was some sort of American soldier who was after him and attacked him with his space station, the Volk, which shot a laser at Travis. Once that attack failed, Vladimir attacked Travis himself. Travis would gain the upper hand and stab through the visor of Vladimir's helmet, causing him to shoot a laser that destroyed Volk. Vladimir started to come to his senses, finally realising that he'd been back on Earth for all this time with his spirit finally fading away.
