Viktor Antonov

Viktor Antonov (birthdate unknown, some time before 2170) and Chris Scarborough are two pseudonyms of an man whose backstory is generally unknown. He was the Director of Crinale International from March 2210 to November 22, 2212, and the Tsar of Russia from 2211 to the very same day. After that date, he is only ever seen as the Executive Chairman of the F12000 Race Commission, Chris Scarborough.

He is a ruthless individual who is not afraid to kill someone if they want to leave the Team. As Antonov, he is always seen wearing a full helmet over his suit.

Early Years, F9000, FX400 (21??-2210)
Not much is known about the childhood of Viktor, or his other alias, Chris, except that his parents were part of the corrupt Overtel Corporation. After the fall of the F9000, Viktor sought revenge, joining the AGRC in 2201, gradually climbing the ranks.

After the death of Tyler Pålsson at the end of 2209, Viktor saw his chance, and applied for the 2nd pilot for Crinale. The director at the time, Alexandra Gelorum saw his potential and hired him. However, she had actually underestimated him, as it was revealed he had actually blackmailed several technicians into modifying their FX400 prototype craft.

At the end of the first and only Prototype race, he made use of the modified craft and his high rank in the AGRC to murder the AGRC's Executive Chairwoman, Natasha Belmondo and nearly taking out Gelorum, taking over as the Executive Chairman of the AGRC and the Director of Crinale, simultaneously.

New Leadership of Crinale, European Continental War (2210)
Sometime after taking over Crinale, Viktor was contacted by the Russian Tsar Pawel, who contracted them to make various craft for use in the European Continental War. Two models were approved: the I4-XA2 jet fighter, and the T9-CA5 grav-tank. The 'Beta' prototypes were completed by June of 2210, and production began in August. They were launched in September to varying amounts of success. In November, Viktor used a new, unknown prototype fighter, the X10/P Kop'ye, to wage war on Pawel. The vastly superior craft was no match for his forces, and met an untimely death, leaving the mysterious man in charge of something else: The Government of Russia.

Trivia

 * Chris Scarborough was originally intended to be just a one time character, but Ace3000 brought him back as Viktor Antonov to create suspense and to close off a minor plot element that started in Part 2.0, which was never brought up until Part 12.3, the reveal of Antonov as Chris Scarborough.


 * Chris Scarborough was also intended to be the true identity of Viktor Antonov. But now, the characters only assume it is, no-one really knows Antonov's true identity.
