Stalker was the team leader in charge of the mission to rescue the US reporter from Borovian custody. When the team was about to be captured while trying to escape, Stalker was the one who ordered Outback to leave him and a wounded Snow job and Quick Kick behind. He could have easily established himself and his comrades as heads of the pecking order in Gulag #23, but chose to have all of the prisoners get treated fairly and evenly. Stalker never lost his composure or his dignity while under extreme duress. Not even when he was continuously taunted by the gulag guards Sgt. Mosiev and Corporal Olga. When his opportunity came to provide retribution for himself and his men, he did not let it slip his grasp, out shooting a supposed Gold Medal Olympian.
