Like I said, there was a thing I read that says Vassili is from Florence, Italy. But he went to a British boarding school. I’m just not sure how canonical the source is. http://dirtybomb.wikia.com/wiki/Vassili

But considering the Wikia’s profile of him and his official profile have a lot of similarities, I think it might be safe to assume he’s Italian.

The source isn’t very reliable. IIRC, Vassili’s biography is different from the actual nexon biography and it incorporates Fragger into it.

[quote=“Jostabeere;108255”][quote=“Someordinaryguy;107198”][quote=“ThaiSan;107197”]I always thought Vasilli was Russian.
Because of his name, his background story with the heartless government that forced him to kill his own sister and the fact that he’s a sniper and I met quiet a couple of russians that loved playing snipers in online fps’.[/quote]

https://youtube.com/watch?v=onE4y9LqRbI Yeaaaaaaaah, sounds totally like a Russian.

His nickname is based off this guy https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vasily_Zaytsev[/quote]

Oh boy… Because all english-speaking Russians have that evil-terrorist-Hollywood-accent…

[/quote]

I work with quite a few people from that part of the world and it’s hilarious just how accurate"that Hollywood accent is in almost every case. Granted, it’s a sample size of about seven but that seems to be enough to confirm that it’s not just a stereotype in this case. Only one of them is actually from Russia.

No, it speculates Fragger as the “friend”. And the bio was probably based on an earlier bio by SD.

The bio is on the unofficial fan wikia so it is probably no where near canon and is probably just fanfiction.

I’m more inclined to believe it more than I am to believe he’s Russian based on his call sign alone. Besides I’ve heard others refer to him as Italian as well.

I mean, i don’t think he’s russian either but i really doubt he’s italian. Where did you hear that he was italian from?

It’s really unlikely Vassili is Italian or Russian with a name like Alan Lewis

All the mercs have nicknames, most of them are word plays off of their abilities. Vasili is based off a Soviet sniper which has been mentioned in this thread somewhere. Vasili in English translates to basil also. But yeah, he is technically English but his character bio says something about a Italy so he could be considered Italian too. The other unrealised sniper, aimee (obvious word play is obvious) is French very little from that name would indicate she would be French, most of the time it’s jus coincidence.

Plus does owning a vineyard in Italy mean you’re Italian ? Vassili’s parents could’ve been rich English blokes who bought it for “SWAG” (like most rich people do)

In terms of the various American voices, they’re pretty good. Fragger is fucking perfect, Bushwhacker is pretty good, Sawbones is spot on. Aura feels…ok. Decent.
