NAME: Zudnik Mikhail Niercusky
DOB: April 20, 1997
AGE: 19
BREED: 45% Siberian Husky, 55% Wolf
DESCRIPTION: Simply, Zudnik's fur is mostly greyish on the back and white in the front, with the exception of his paws, which are a deep grey color. Because of his breed, Zudnik's tail is basically very fluffy and straight. His ears are erect, but differ from his fur color since they are an ash grey, almost black color. His build is not very heavy, nor is it very light, sort of in between when it comes to muscles. He usually wears a maroon shirt with the Rover insignia on the right shoulder, along with a pair of black slacks. He does wear street clothes when off-duty. And about his speech, it's a whole lot better than Exile's, though the "-ski" may pop in there from time to time, with a light accent.
DEMEANOR: Zudnik can be your best friend or your worst enemy, depending on the kind of attitude you exhibit around him, though most of the time, he's sweet, calm, cool, and all-around friendly, though one Rover finds all that he does rather charming. He's very protective, for one thing, and can be overwhelmingly serious in severe matters, but he still maintains a witty sense of humor.
SOME HISTORY: Zudnik is the older of two pups in the litter of a grey mountain wolf and a Siberian husky, owned by a sled team owner, in the mid reaches of Siberia. It was with this same owner that Zudnik met Exile's parents (moved from their previous owner). Zudnik got the chance to meet Exile when the owner was victorious in an annual sled team race (The victor received high honors from Yeltsin at the time), and the two became strong comrades. At five months old, Zudnik accompanied this master for a two month stay in New York, coincidentally in an apartment next to the alley where Dylan and his family resided. Even though Dylan was younger than the newcomer, that didn't keep the two canines from building a sturdy friendship. They played together with a group of other dogs when time permitted, and Zudnik also acted as a protector of Dylan for some time. Zudnik was not called upon by the Master until October of the following year, and was to become second in command of the newly created Road Rovers Special Task Force. Zudnik and Dylan finally reunited after a year of not seeing each other (a human year in dog years is longer than you think), still as great of friends as ever.
SPECIAL POWERS: Zudnik is faster than you'd expect him to be, and his strength is modest, but due to his wolf heritage, his senses have been enhanced to optimum performance and come in handy for uncovering any kind of danger.
