Biography

Captain Vasya is a Russian aviator, and captain of a Russian heavy-weight dragon, Tri, as well as several white and grey Russian light-weight dragons who served Tri. Vasya also belongs to the Twenty-Sixth Regiment of the Air.

Vasya took part with Tri in the battle for Smolensk against Napoleon Bonaparte's French forces, before Tri was badly wounded. The two stopped at the Moscow covert, where Vasya asked Captain Ivan Rozhkov to stitch up Tri's wound and get him settled.

Note that "Vasya" is Russian diminutive of Russian given name Vassily (Basil).
