Constantin has, in fact, never had a teaching position before. However, with a shining former career in journalism he has proven his capabilities in the field. Also, at the time he had a need to leave Russia very quickly and very inconspicuously. A hidden away place like this was perfect, and he can be rather persuasive.

[ THE PREVIOUS SUCCESSES ]: Varied successes in undercover journalism and surviving/escpaing a career in the SVR. Also, he’s achieved a high level in Systema.
[ THE STRUGGLES ]: His father’s death when he was 14 hit their family hard financially, and his main interest since then was to support his mother and younger sister. He still sends his mother a chunk of his paycheck.
[ THE OTHER SCHOOL ]: Attended state school in St. Petersburg, graduated with honors and achieved a partial scholarship to St. Peterburg state University studying journalism. He was forced to drop out midway through his course due to financial difficulties, following which he managed to get a junior position with a government-run newspaper.
Constantin has only had basic teacher training, but his background checks were, miraculously, all clear.

LOOKS, LOCKS, AND LEGS

[ THE PLAYED-BY ]: Borowiek, Bartek

[ THE EYES ]: Intelligent dark brown eyes which, upon closer inspection, have a gold ring just surrounding the pupil. His stare gives a distinct impression of cold.
[ THE HAIR ]: His hair is long, mid-back length perhaps? It is wavy and dark reddish-brown in colour. Generally it is well cared for and often simply tied back. It tends to knot, but he wouldn’t cut it off.
[ THE SMILE ]: Smile? What smile? Between the polite looks and professional consternation, the best you’ll get out of him sober is an un-knitting of the brow. Which is a shame really, because many are sure that his smile would be truly breathtaking.
[ THE OTHER FACIAL STUFF ]: He has a fairly ageless face with a distinctly eastern European look about him and skin which would fry on even a temperate day.

[ THE BUILD ]: He’s generally slim in build, but physically strong with wiry muscles which come from his extensive martial arts training. Under no circumstances is he to be underestimated.
[ THE HEIGHT ]: 5,11
[ THE WEIGHT ]: 147
[ THE POSTURE ]: Constantin holds himself as though he were under scrutiny at all times. He moves with the surety provided by physical training, but rarely seems relaxed. Subsequently he gives off a somewhat forbidding air.

[ THE CLOTHING ]: At work Constantin always wears a suit in either black or grey, though shirt or tie colours may vary, and when sitting down to write reports or whatever, he normally removes the jacket and tie and rolls his sleeves up. In his spare time his clothes remain fairly formal, though he has a thing for old military clothing, calf-length boots, heavy leather belts and long coats. In cold weather (And often in warm weather) he wears a large, Czarist military-issue wool coat. Dark blue with a high, trimmed collar and folded cuffs, epaulettes and a double row of bronze buttons. On the left arm is the Czarist eagle crest and from the breast pocket hangs a starred service medal which is nearly 100 years old.

On his left wrist he always wears a rosary bearing the three barred cross of the Russian Orthodox Church.

[ THE HYGIENE ]: Constantin’s work space and home are in perfect order, and he keeps things very tidy sometimes simply as a means of occupying himself. Constantin may be many things but he is not lazy, and anybody who has to look after long, unruly hair will tell you. However, after a night of heavy drinking (Which is hardly a rare occurence), it is not uncommon that he finds himself waking up in a dreadful mess and often has to drag himself into work with minimal time to clean up.

He looks after the space around him, but Constantin does not exactly look after himself. Very few people would be able to understand quite how bad his alcohol dependency is, as a few times it had threatened to take over his life. He also smokes when he drinks and would rather die than ever visit a doctor.

FAMILY: HATE TO LOVE 'EM?

[ THE PARENTS ]: Father - Sergeyavich Fiyodor Morozov: Former KGB agent, now deceased. Constantin’s father was all that a slightly controlling family man should have been and is the place where he inherited his problem with alcohol. He was shot dead when Constantin was 14.

Mother - Ayda Tatiana Morozov: Never worked a day until her husband died and she found herself working as a seamstress to make ends meet. Constantin has always been devoted to the care of his mother and had shared his paycheck with her and his sister since the day he went into payed employment. He feels he owes her an infinite debt, especially now he’s had to leave, possibly forever. She still lives in St. Petersburg.

[ THE SIBLINGS ]: Sister – Natasha Svetlana Morozov: 9 years younger than Constantin and partially deaf, she now works as an undersecretary in St. Petersburg after managing to get into a secretarial college, be it only for about six months. She is not well paid, and is generally a fairly unreliable person. She relies heavily upon her mother and brother for support.

[ OTHER IMPORTANT RELATIONSHIPS ]: At the request of Sergeyavich, the family kept pretty much to themselves, his dangerous line of work making connections risky. More than once the family was placed under protection. However, it was an old work-mate of Constantin’s father who managed to get him the placement in a government job which led to his induction into the SVR. Constantin also had a brief relationship with him, despite the fact that the man was nearly 20 years older than him. It did not end well.

[ IMPORTANT ANCESTRY ]: There is nothing special about the Morozovs. They are all from painfully working class backgrounds.
