Background Information
Vladimir Reznik was born in the Siberian city of Omsk, Russia on August 1st, 1983. In 1987 his family moved to Moscow as his father had received a job promotion within the military. This good fortune took a turn in 1997 as Vladimir's father was shot and left wheelchair bound. Due to his father no longer being able to work, Vladimir, now 14, and his brother Oleg, 12, were forced to become involved in criminal activity to provide for their family. In 2001, at the age of 18, Vladimir was required to join the army in order to complete his obligatory 2 years of military service. During this time he served as a medic in the special forces known as Spetsnaz. After his military service was complete, Vladimir enrolled in university to continue his education. Unfortunately, his studies were cut short as his criminal history came back to haunt him and he was forced to flee Russia in 2005. His brother Oleg remained and continued to be heavily involved in criminal activities. Vladimir spent the next 14 years working hard as a taxi driver and medic in various cities, always doing his best to maintain his crime free existence.

Welcome to Los Santos
In October of 2019, Vladimir arrived in Los Santos. He continued to remain free of criminal activity and worked as a delivery driver to earn an income. His first friend in the city was Jim James, who at the time was a BBMC prospect. Vladimir and JJ quickly became friends as they both openly shared the same negative opinions of police and government. Vladimir also discovered that JJ had experience selling and using the various materials Vladimir had earned as a delivery driver and, since they were of no use to him, he gave them all to JJ, further solidifying their friendship.

JJ eventually introduced Vladimir to the other members of the BBMC, including their leader, Irwin Dundee. Vladimir was thoroughly impressed with the family-like relationship between the club's members. During his interactions with the BBMC members, Vladimir was open with the club that he was staying clean and did not want to be involved in crime. However, after he was told that Dundee had been disrespected by The Families' members, he made a spontaneous decision to mask up and go out with the BBMC to shoot up The Families. He was later shot while in the southside, but was saved from death and jail by Dundee. After this incident, Vladimir was certain that the BBMC was his new family and he decided he would assist them in their criminal activities.

A few days later, Benji Ramos was arrested for a crime that Dundee claimed he did not commit. The BBMC decided they would make an attempt to break Benji out of prison. Vladimir grabbed his gun to join, knowing it was a suicide mission. During the jailbreak attempt, Vladimir gunned down Sergeant Brittany Angel. Vladimir was then injured by a shot from a police helicopter and though he was able to drive away, he later passed out from blood loss and was arrested. Vladimir was sentenced to 45 months in prison, had his gun license revoked and was fined $9k, which sent him into debt. Once released from prison he was ghosted by the entirety of the BBMC, the lone exception being his first friend, JJ.

Los Santos Police Department
Vladimir worked diligently to relieve himself of debt, and spent countless hours making deliveries to earn the small amount of money he could. He also began a jog club as a hobby in order to make new friends and to promote community engagement. Vladimir's life was given new direction after a fortuitous encounter with the then Assistant Chief of Police Olivia Copper during a routine traffic stop. Vladimir eventually befriended Copper, who became his first Russian language student. Shortly thereafter, Copper introduced him to then Senior Deputy Matt Rhodes and then Chief of Police Vladimir Raven. As he increasingly spent time with his new friends, his opinions started to shift. Their constant help and support destroyed all of the police stereotypes he had carried with him since childhood. He has since been recruited by Copper to join the Los Santos Police Department.

While working for the LSPD, he was adopted by Sergeant Brittany Angel and Officer Kyle Pred.
