Otherwise known as Mishka(Little bear)
Son of Viktor Kozlovsky, Grandson of Osip Kozlovsky
Born in New York, and raised in the Kozlovsky crime family, Anatoly was taught from a young age how to use violence to solve problems. He learned how to fight, and his grandfather taught him how to kill.
Anatoly had a strong moral code, thieves get killed, liars get killed, rats get killed. He believed he was helping clean up his home, keeping the scum down. He believed he was righteous, just doing work that needed to be done.
Anatoly was the reason for his family's move to Kentucky. Having beaten the wrong man to death, his family bargained for exile and got it. Forced to put down his own father, who had hidden a bite from them until he succumbed to it. One highlight of his life was his great aunt Natalyna and her son Gregory, coming from New York. The last words he heard from his cousin were 'if I don't make it out alive, tell mum I loved her'.
Called over to the trunk of a car in Tassel Town, he sees the body of his cousin Gregory. Just a teenager, hanging with the wrong crowd. Huari, known as Victor, admits to Anatoly's face that Gregory died during a botched robbery. Anatoly was just going to shoot him in the leg...then the other leg, then drag him behind the car into a horde of zombies.
Unfortunately Victor had other plans, and was the quicker shot.
The woman beaten over the radio will never get her revenge. His girlfriend Barbie will never get to try and change him. His grandfather Osip will never get to see him blossom into a man just like him. His dear friends Biff, Olivia and Gloria will never get to go on that road trip.
