Design[]
Andrey appears as a man wearing black military clothes. Brown fur pelts make up his sleeves, collar and part of his ushanka. His mouth has been disfigured as a result of being injected with Image; he has sharp teeth and his jaws can open widely. He can shoot scalpels out of his tongue.
Personality[]
Andrey suffers from chronic paranoia. While he does have thoughts of his own, he does not talk with the exception of shrieks and cries of pain. Whether this is a result of modifications on his mouth is unknown.
During his battle against the Maken, he can be seen "beckoning" or taunting the Maken before he charges, suggesting that he is confident in his combat abilities.
Profile[]
Maken X[]
"A Hakke, who used to be an officer in the special forces of the Russian army. But was banished because he was diagnosed to have chronic paranoia. He was then employed as a hitman by the Sangokai. As a hitman with a prominent ability even in the Sangokai group, he was infected with Image by Mr. Meteor to become his faithful Hakke henchman. He has killed many Fukenshi and people trying to obstruct Mr. Meteor's master plan."
Prior to the game's story, Andrey served as an officer in the Russian army, but was forced to retire after being diagnosed with chronic paranoia and fled to China sometime afterwards, eventually joining the Sangyokai as a hitman. He first appears soon after the Maken awakens. As he barges in the room, he is confronted by Kou Yamashiro but easily dispatches him with his uncanny flexibility and superior combat experience. He knocks Hiromitsu Sagami out and proceeds to escape with him. As he hears Kei Sagami's screams, he shoots several scalpels in her direction, although ends up killing Lee Fei Chao instead.
The Maken eventually finds him at the heliport, where Chief Sagami is seen being transported in a helicopter commanded by the Sangyoukai. Andrey himself stays behind to fend off the Maken, presumably to destroy it but ultimately fails. He is later captured and imprisoned in the research institute.
After Lee Fu Sho orders the Maken to rescue Chief Sagami, Andrey is forcefully Brain Jacked by the Maken, and his information on the Sangyoukai and Hakke, including troops and personnel are extracted. The Maken, now in Andrey's body, makes its way to Moscow through the jumbo jet, the Rhicodon.
However, the flight is attacked and hijacked by the Sangyoukai, who have learnt of the Maken's plans, forcing it to abandon the jet by using an escape pod. The Maken later finds the pilot, Gou Inaba, unconscious in the escape hatch. The Maken has the choice of either Brain Jacking Gou to land the pod in Hong Kong, which will lead to Moscow or stay as Hakke Andrey. Staying as Andrey will crash the pod in the Taj Mahal in India, causing a slight detour in the Maken's journey. Otherwise, Andrey's body is deserted on the Rhincodon and he perishes alongside the plane.
Strategy[]
His boss fight in the Kanazawa Research Institute is fairly simple. He primarily charges to close the distance between him and the player and to attack. Side-stepping as he is charging forward will leave him open after the attack, as he is temporarily confused should the player leave his line of sight. For this reason, blocking is recommended when he is using this attack. Similarly, getting close to him while he is locked onto you is not recommended, as he will simply perform his Rolling Swan in order to damage and push players away. When his health is reduced, he will start to change tactics: Andrey will now start leaping side-ways while shooting a scalpel at mid-air. As the scalpels are difficult to see and unblockable, the player is recommended to be a considerable distance away from him and side step whenever he does as well.

Overview[]
Andrey has the third highest speed in the game, tying him with Fukenshi Rumrod and Hakke William. He lacks good combos, but all his attacks are medium range and have decent speed. His Rolling Swan move is excellent in deflecting bullets and knocking nearby enemies away, and is also notably fast. His EX attack is very long ranged, and can be useful early in the game.

Trivia[]
- Andrey is based on the Russian serial killer, Andrei Chikatilo, who is also Andrey's namesake. This is evidenced by Andrey's affiliation with scalpels and one of Andrey's own moves, the Chikatilo Dance.
