Amirani is the Oktober Guard dog handler. He and his German shepherd Kursha are often used for tracking, guarding and resque missions. Amirani grew up among a family of dog trainers and hunters so he is perfectly comfortable with all duties that concern any kind of work related to his roots.
Amirani is codenamed after a Georgian mythological hero, accompanied by the legendary dog Kursha (meaning "black ear").

I like the movie Red Heat where Arnold Schwarzenegger played a Russian police captain, that's where the inspiration came from. I did make some changes though, as I wasn't able to create a decent long coat in my customizing timeframe. So in the end I went with a combination of things: the hat, boots and (kinda) upper coat of a classic guard, while the details (microphone on the torso, pouches, straps) hopefully make Amirani look like a battle ready dog handler. I didn't want to go the easy way for the dog Kursha by using Order, so I took a Timber and repainted him in a German Sheperd scheme.
