He first appeared in Hitman: Codename 47. Arkadij was also one of Agent 47's Five Fathers.
He had a brother, Sergei Zavorotko, who lured Agent 47 out from his retirement.
Background[]
Early life[]
Under the harsh poverty conditions and scrutiny of the local and loyal apparatchiks, he cultivated a strong hatred for the communist regime. His journey down the road to crime began at the age of 15 when he started stealing weapons from the Soviets and selling them to Cossack nationalists.
His father saw fit to turn him to the authorities; however, Jegorov eluded the police and went into hiding in the mountains before making his way to Marseilles, where he would join the French Foreign Legion in 1950. By the end of his service in 1955, Jegorov had established a gun-running route through Turkey and Iran. His gunrunning activities continued after he left the league, culminating in his going into business with the Russian mafia in the mid 1980s and building up a gun-trafficking operation that covered most of the world.
