General Below commands a clandestine Soviet military unit dedicated to researching and weaponizing supernatural phenomena during World War II. He oversees a specialized laboratory investigating paranormal abilities, particularly communication with the dead, as part of the Soviet war effort against Nazi Germany. His operations focus on countering Nazi occult programs, including attempts to resurrect entities like the Teutonic Knights for warfare. He strictly enforces secrecy, ensuring the paranormal programs remain hidden within the Red Army.

He recruits and deploys psychics for strategic missions, notably Nadya, a teenage clairvoyant and sole survivor of "First Squad." He assigns her the critical task of navigating the afterlife realm known as the Gloomy Valley or Valley of the Dead, to gather intelligence and persuade her deceased squad members to continue fighting the supernatural Nazi threat. His leadership prioritizes pragmatic military objectives over emotional concerns.

Physically, he possesses a stern and imposing presence, often accompanied by a cat that reinforces his enigmatic authority. His demeanor remains composed and unflinching under duress, reflecting his role as a calculated strategist focused on wartime exigencies. He operates with significant autonomy within the Soviet military hierarchy, commanding resources and personnel dedicated to occult warfare countermeasures.

His actions are confined to orchestrating the Soviet response to supernatural threats on the Eastern Front.
