He was a common street thief who got busted and thrown in the same cell as a Lenin-esk political prisoner. The two bonded, the former helping protect the other in prison and the latter educating the other. They end up getting released around the same time and the thief character becomes a bodyguard/spy for the Lenin-esk guy as he builds his fantasy Bolshevik party.

Just and idea I had that I’m sure I’ll never get a chance to play in a game :(
