Description
Aleksandr Asimov is a Russian male character who appears in the anime Terraformars Revenge. He is a member of the Annex I project and is affiliated with the Russian squad. Standing 180 centimeters tall and weighing 89 kilograms, he is a physically imposing figure, notable for his bald head, a scar running across his eye, and his constant wearing of sunglasses. At 28 years of age, he holds the 7th rank in the M.A.R.S. fighting power rankings.

His background is marked by significant personal tragedy. He lost both of his parents to a terrorist attack at a very young age, and his grandmother passed away when he was only four years old. Following these losses, he was raised in an orphanage before choosing to join the military immediately after his schooling. His personal life changed when he fell in love at first sight with Dina S. Asimov, the daughter of the powerful and influential Sylvester Asimov. He worked diligently to gain the approval of his future father-in-law, enduring repeated beatings from him in the process. Eventually, due to his perseverance and family influence, Sylvester accepted him, treating him like a son.

Aleksandr’s primary motivation for joining the perilous Annex I mission to Mars is a deeply personal one. His wife, Dina, became infected with the deadly A.E. virus that plagues Earth. He joined the mission to find a cure, hoping to secure the vaccine for Russia first to save his wife and their unborn child. This desire to protect his family drives all of his actions throughout the story.

In terms of personality, Aleksandr is generally laid-back but possesses an extreme sense of loyalty to his comrades and his cause. He is portrayed as intelligent and resourceful, and he demonstrates no fear when facing death, as long as his actions serve to protect his family. This is shown in his willingness to sacrifice himself during the conflict, thinking only of ensuring the vaccine is created for his wife.

His role in the story places him in direct conflict with other squads, specifically the Chinese forces. During the Annex I arc, he engages in a fierce battle against the Chinese team. He suffers a severe injury, losing an arm to a Terraformar, yet continues his assault. He launches a desperate, one-man assault against the Chinese forces inside the Annex to kill their leader, Hong. Despite his overwhelming drive, he hesitates when faced with the final moment of taking a life. He is subsequently attacked by other members of the Chinese squad. To continue fighting with his severe injuries, he overdoses on a performance-enhancing drug. He eventually dies from his wounds and the drug's effects, but not before successfully delaying the enemy squad and delivering a crucial weapon to an ally.

His key relationships are central to his character. His love for his wife, Dina, is his sole motivation, and his desire to earn the respect of his father-in-law, Sylvester Asimov, defines his past. He also shares a strong bond of loyalty with his Russian comrades on the Annex I.

Regarding his notable abilities, Aleksandr has undergone the M.O. (MARS Operation) surgery, which grants him the powers of an insect. His base organism is the Sumatra stag beetle, specifically the Dorcus titanus titanus. While transformed, he receives a significant boost in both physical strength and durability. He is an exceptional hand-to-hand combatant, capable of defeating multiple enemies even after losing an arm. His personal weapon of choice is a Spetsnaz ballistic jaw knife named Kavkaz Kalinka. He is also shown to be quite adept at creating and setting traps.
