Salute the Comrade Major!
Major Mishka Gruglov (Former)
Captain Mishka Gruglov - Progenitor Arm.
He's no stereotypical dumb-witted Ivan that you'd probably find in the Red Army, but he certainly wasn't a model soldier either.
Born in the middle of bum-fuck nowhere Komsomolsk-on-Amur there was plenty of room for Mishka to become interested in many things.
Fungi certainly wasn't on his list, but he had a natural talent for Mycology and ended up pursuing it as a career.

Turns out he made for an excellent Officer. He'd discovered this during his mandatory service and ended up shelving his Fungus Career to climb the ranks of the Worlds Best Army. The Red Army.
Performed his role excellently in the Second Chechen War and retired a happy man in the early 2000's to restart his Mycology career.

Then Earth was invaded. Seven Hours. Wouldn't have happened on his watch if he was still serving.
At least this new Regime recognised his talent in an Officering role.
Relocated too many times to count.
One day he received a letter in his temporary housing somewhere off in south Poland. A fat logo on its front.

An 'invitation' to 'volunteer' at a fledgling Cities peacekeeping force.
'Progenitor Arm. That's new.'
He opened the letter.
Rank: Captain.
The motherfuckers had demoted him!
BASTARDS!
And his superior was some hot-shot American, too!
The Shame!
…
He couldn't deny the call.
He had the urge to serve once more in some way, and with all of this new alien shit infesting the planet he just might be able to double as a scientist at the same time...
Salute the Progenitor Captain!

"Fucking Americans."
