Chapter 1 - Yuri Orlov

Yuri Orlov , Russian oligarch dies at age seventy from a brain aneurysm .

Yuri was born to Victor and Marissa Orlov on December 27th 2002 as the first son of a very peculiar family.

His parents before the dissolution of the Soviet Union were high tier KGB operatives who later found themselves reorganized into the Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR) and the Federal Security Service (FSB).

They made such a name for themselves that at a very young age they were appointed assistant and deputy directors of their various agencies .

This granted them influence and power in the new Russian federation and despite several sabotages and regime changes the Orlov family stood strong .

Being born into such an exceptional family , it was expected that Yuri would follow in his parents footsteps as intelligence operatives so right from when he could talk and walk they began grooming him .

Several of his parents friends from the agencies would give up secrets on surveillance , counter intelligence , etc .

" Yuri my boy , you see the oligarchs, they hold power as long as mother Russia allows it , their famed wealth could be gone in an instant because of a simple mistake."

" And the Bratva ( Russian Mafia) all feared in the streets of Moscow still answer to us . They know that their lives are gone if they dare step out of line . "

Ever since he could think for himself Yuri had been subjected to a rigorous routine of training and study so much that he developed a competitive mentality.

Everything from eating to sleep was a competition for him, and he strived to be the best .

Anything he couldn't achieve, he collected.

At the age of sixteen he was admitted into the academy of the federal security services for a specialist degree which would normally take five years .

But he finished in two year .

Within that period, he completed weapons training , hand to hand combat and all other related courses.

He had also hanged an instructor who was suspected of being a CIA asset on a flagpole for everyone to witness . He was actually slammed with a demerit for that action of his and so not wanting a demerit , he would act in secret doing everything in his power to rise at the top regardless .

During his very short but memorable time of service in the FSB he was nicknamed Yadovitaya chasha which meant the poison chalice .

His first five years of service were in pest control , an operation that was made to eradicate anyone or anything that posed a threat to the sovereignty of the country.

And whenever he was sent on an operation, the targets mysteriously disappear . No traces of blood or a struggle, nothing that could explain their whereabouts .

For the agency this was Christmas, his superiors bathed in his accomplishments receiving accolades for Yuri's accomplishments.

Yuri didn't for one day like being in the spotlight but he thought that for everything he had done , he at least deserved something for his troubles.

So he started an operation whereby his targets were not immediately disposed of but were transported to a black site where even the agency didn't know about. There he executed medieval levels of brutal torture to extract information from his targets .

He knew that these individuals were not clean and shady people like them tend to have huge amounts of cash in specific places .

All the money he got from his operation was immediately changed to gold to facilitate laundering and by the time he retired, he had gathered gold worth thirty million dollars.

The beautiful thing about this gold was that there was no evidence of foul play in its obtainment .

At the age of twenty three Yuri left the FSB stating mental instability as his reason for an early retirement .

Immediately after that , he checked himself into a government owned mental institution for a year going full dark .

This was a ruse to appear non threatening , he knew that if he could convince the agency that he was harmless he was not one of those blabber mouths that go off talking to the media or to foreign governmental agencies.

After a year in the mental hospital Yuri got out and spent another three months setting up an some companies in the different tax heavens that controlled his assets .

Then he moved to the United States where he or rather one of his companies established a construction and development company which focused on developing low income areas and turning them into prime real estate.

There were some bumps every once in a while but eventually he overcame .

Within three years , he be came the owner of over a thousand residential apartments building and other rental properties , this boosted his assets to more than two billion dollars.

Over the coming years Yuri would use his earnings to invest in different companies as long as it was profitable.

Using the skills he learned from the FSB treated companies as if they were human beings striking them any their weakest point and then absorbing them into his umbrella.

He made sure to invest in society's core needs ; energy , food , security and entertainment.

By the time he was in his thirties , his known assets were in the hundreds of billions of dollars .

Anytime he purchased a companys share , they go into full blown panic knowing that the end was inevitable and that the sharks working under Yuri would make sure that their company seized to be theirs .

This business style of his actually made him a target and several attempts were made on his life , but who ever was sent to end him just disappears and eventually the person or persons behind them disappears as well .

But even as cutthroat as he was , he was also a philanthropist and not one of the philanthropists that do it for the camera or for tax returns .

He ran shelters for at risk youth helping them to foster their talents , these youths mostly got jobs in any of his companies or affiliates where they would be put to great use that benefited both the individual and the company .

There was a saying that Yuri was more effective than any government agency in job creation which in turn reduced crimes.

But in the end he was dead and gone but was he truly dead and was death the end ?
