Biography[]
Vostok was a hard-line Siberian army general and former KGB agent who resented the former Soviet Union's abandonment of Communism. He sought to use a living golem to overthrow the Czech Republic's current government headed by President Alena Stasny. To this end, he posed as Czech scientist Professor Karst's chauffeur, but was recognized by Race Bannon. He sent an attack helicopter to kill Bannon, but the pilot failed, and Bannon stole the chopper.
Still posing as Karst's chauffeur, Vostok accompanied him and the Quests to where the golem was. After Vostok brought the stone giant to life by carving an infinity symbol into its forehead using an artifact Vostok hard murdered another Czech scientist to obtain, Vostok betrayed Karst, and ordered the golem to kill him and the Quests. Although Karst seemed to die, the Quests were able to escape thanks to the intervention of Race Bannon in the helicopter.
Gathering his men, led by his second in command Colonel Dimitri, Vostok led an assault against President Stasny's mansion, using the golem as a spearhead. The golem laid waste to the Czech soldiers and flipped a tank over, smashing the top end into the upper floor of the house, allowing Vostok and Dimitri, the latter armed with a machine pistol, to simply walk up it like a ramp.
Vostok confronted Stasny and the Quest and ordered the golem to kill them. However, it turned out that Professor Karst had survived the attack earlier. He knocked out Dimitri, took his gun, and attempted to kill his former business partner. As the two fought over the artifact which controlled the golem, part of the ceiling caved in on them, destroying the golem and killing Karst. However, Vostok survived and escaped.
Later, he weaponized Dr. Gunter Erikson's ability to freeze large amounts of water, the Bifrost Effect, using it to steal a Russian submarine, the Gagarin. He was killed when Dr. Quest turned the Bifrost Effect against him; as Vostok launched torpedoes, the water around his submarine froze, preventing the torpedoes from advancing any further. The resulting explosion destroyed the Gagarin, killing Vostok.
Trivia[]
- Originally General Vostok was supposed to die in "Rock of Rages", but Mark Hamill's performance made the creators change him to surviving.
