Vladimir Markin

"Fight back, the odds don't matter anymore. Once one stops thinking about his chances and starts trying, then he will actually have a chance at success."

- Vladimir Markin

Vladimir Markin was an Imperial Security Bureau captain in the Galactic Empire, later serving Grand Admiral Thrawn in his confederacy, and then in the Imperial Remnant. Vladimir was an interrogator, member of the Interrogation branch of the Bureau. He was cold and cunning most of the time, as it was his job to get information out of beings any way possible. Due to the lack of interrogators in the Imperial Armed Forces, Vladimir was often deployed to battlefields to interrogate Rebel Alliance members. Several times, he was hand-picked by the Selection Committee (head of the ISB) to get information out of captured Rebel Alliance Intelligence Agency operatives. His fellow agents said that he was good at his job, especially since he was somewhat sadistic.
