'I was told that everyone I'd served with in the military died shortly after I left.'


Vasiliev Blaku is a previous member of [[The First World]] military force generally known as [[Command]]. He was stationed on [[Earth 44]] and participated in an engagement with the entities within [[The Ink]], including the [[Mirror Octopus]], [[Preacher]] and [[Neural Mosquito]]s.

Due to the brutality of [[The Sword]] in his pursuit of the [[Preacher]] within [[The Ink]], as well as his very high casualty rate, Vasiliev Blaku plotted to kill [[The Sword]]. His attack on [[The Sword]] was foiled by [[Cristina Thompson]], whom Blaku suspected was going to tell [[The Sword]] of their plan, and he was subsequently sent to [[Teskoy Prison]] for her purported murder during the coup attempt.

He is described as being a prankster, a fool and a clown by [[Conn Thompson]].

While escaping the destruction of the [[Teskoy Prison]] gateway facility due to the detonation of its failsafe explosives, Blaku was last seen attempting to access a helijet in the helijet bay. He survived, and was subsequently captured and brought to [[The First World]] for imprisonment in a traditional prison along with [[The Sword]], [[Cristina Thompson]] and [[Conn Thompson]].

During the trial, Vasiliev discovered that [[Cristina Thompson]] was responsible for the horrors he experienced on [[Earth 44]], and subsequently forgave [[The Sword]]. Although angry with Cristina for what happened, he volunteered to fly a helijet as close as possible to the [[White Hole]] destroying [[The First World]] and drop a [[Dimensional Fracture Bomb]] to try and fracture the [[Inner Shield]] and disperse the compressive forces of [[The Crushing Fist]]. Another soldier accompanied him, and while the detonation was successful, [[Heath]] lost radar tracking on their helijet. The status of Vasiliev and the soldier who accompanied him is unknown.
