Pavel Dushenko is the current Upsilon of the Order on Earth-2619 and a Servant of the Ophanim Choir for the Host on Earth-2620.


Earth 2619

Early Life

Pavel Dushenko was born in the Sevastopol region of Ukraine to Greek-Russian working-class parents that worked in a manufacturing plant. During the period in which Russia was attempting to regain control of its now-sovereign splinter states, Pavel's parents were killed by an improvised explosive device that was targeted toward Ukrainian sympathizers. Pavel was placed in a Consortium orphanage and was immediately flagged for potential genetic compatibility. By age five, he had still not been adopted and was given to the Consortium and became an Initiate thereafter.

As an Initiate

Pavel has been a ward of the Consortium since he was a child and became an Initiate at age five. As such, he has had extensive contact with numerous instructors and various knowledge areas. As Initiate training is prioritized by age and subsequent valuation of individual skill sets, the Consortium has been able to shape Pavel's experience so precisely in a manner that difficult to master skills were taught first while his neuroplasticity was at its peak. Less difficult knowledge areas were taught afterward. By the time of his first injection of Compound 36, he had already mastered several fighting styles and had virtually complete muscle memory recall in all of them. His instructors also commented favorably on his overall adaptability.

Although his genetic compatibility was high, Pavel has shown several side-effects to Compound 36. On several occasions he has exhibited bouts of unprovoked hyper-aggression and during one of those, had to be forcefully sedated. On another occasion he experienced localized muscle paralysis when faced with a high-stakes, high-stress situation with variable outcomes and little time for decision-making. This was flagged as a potential risk for full induction into the Order.

At age 18, he was not considered stable enough to join the ranks of the Order, but still remained in training as an Initiate for several more years. When it seemed as though he would be passed over again, the cost-benefit ratio fell to Pavel's favor. He was granted the position of Rho, the highest post-Initiate rank given out in almost six years.

As Part of the Order

Pavel is the current Upsilon of the Order. At his induction, he selected a double-bladed battle axe as his weapon, not only due to its symbolism, but also because of the strength and stamina required to wield it effectively. He also selected a magnum revolver for his sidearm, a curious choice given the limited cartridge capacity perhaps only mitigated by the lethality of the caliber.

After subsequent operations in the Black Forest region of Germany and the Ceccano region of Italy, Pavel was promoted to Mu. During the Monte Carlo incident, Pavel was forced into a rage by Florian Toussaint's unique C36 ability, which jeopardized the entire operation. Subsequently, Pavel was demoted to Upsilon.

Pavel's Handler is Aleksandr Orlov.

Physical Appearance

Pavel Dushenko has what most might consider to be an intimidating appearance. At over six feet tall with a pronounced, overly muscular physique, he has a tendency to tower over those around him. He wears the standard Order uniform, which is a white/silver body-armor type uniform with gold accents on it. His thick blond hair is just above his light blue eyes but is often pushed up or to the side. His face is often unshaven and tends to wear stubble without much of a shape. He has no tattoos or distinguishing physical marks or scars outside of his general build.

Powers and Skills

Pavel is an inducted member of the Order and has received the final injection of Compound 36 to make the abilities it grants permanent.

As such, he has the normal complement of abilities granted by the compound:

  • Enhanced strength (4 tons)
  • Enhanced speed (Range is generally between 35-75 mph)
  • Enhanced stamina (Running and sprinting long distances for several miles at a time is possible)
  • Enhanced durability (Bones and skin are resistant to kinetic damage)
  • Enhanced senses (Includes sight, hearing, taste, touch, and smell)
  • Enhanced healing factor (bruises and light cuts and scrapes heal almost instantaneously, deeper cuts and puncture wounds can heal in as little as a few hours, critical injuries generally in days)
  • Enhanced agility (Olympic level athlete is the standard)
  • Resistance to aging

Like all members of the Order, he can further activate the inert Compound 36 in his body to augment the aforementioned abilities even further. There is great risk involved in doing so, as pushing beyond an acceptable limit aggravates any side-effects of the Compound and can also lead to uncontrollable rage and an inability to form rational thought, relying purely on instinct and survival. Once this occurs, there is no treatment and the Order labels the individual an Aberration that is subsequently hunted and killed.

Other Information

He is incredibly loyal to the Consortium and fully believes in its ideals and philosophies, going so far as to be willing to risk his life to uphold them.

As opposed to some other members of the Order, Pavel has displayed no unique talents by localized activation of inert Compound 36 in his body.

Pavel is fluent in English, Italian, Russian, and German.

Pavel's Cardinal is Mason Thresh.

Physical Appearance

Pavel is an intimidatingly large, muscular man with long blonde hair that is typically pulled back and striking blue eyes that glow brighter when activating his abilities through the use of the Relics in his body. His armor is equally massive, giving him the appearance of an even larger warrior on the field of battle. When he activates his ability to ignite his weapon, he is a terrifying site to behold.
