At an unspecified date, Tsvigun, already at an advanced age, was caught in a [[Relic Technology|relic incident]] and received a lethal amount of [[Collapse Technology|Collapse radiation]]. However, he not only survived, but his body completely stopped aging. He was the only survivor of the incident along with [[Arthur Hume]]. Tsvigun would keep in contact with Hume and attempted to recruit him into his organization (probably the [[Prometheans]] at the time).<ref>{{cite|gfl|summer|E9}}</ref> | |||
As expanded upon in [[Arthur Hume]]'s article, the incident most probably occurred during the 19th century, which puts into doubt the official records of Tsvigun's life. | |||
===Official Records - Early life and military career=== | |||
Born in a family working for the KGB, Mikhail followed his parents during their work through the various soviet republics, muddling records of his early life. All that is known for certain is that he once worked for the TASS and studied in Baku, the capital of Azerbaijan. After his 11 years of mandatory education, he followed his destined path and entered the Dzerzhinsky Higher School of the KGB to study encryption. | Born in a family working for the KGB, Mikhail followed his parents during their work through the various soviet republics, muddling records of his early life.

Mikhail would find his successor in 2022 during a relics research panel at the Poznan University, when a mathematics student from the University of Warsaw named Viktor Zelinsky approached him with questions about the Khyber Pass operation, having pieced up the full picture from publicly available information and rumors. Due to Mikhail's children having followed his wife during their divorce, and his close friendship with Zelinsky, many viewed them as father and son.<ref name=CF4 /> In 2023, Mikhail participated in a research conference about the [[Antarctic Union|Antarctic Relic cluster]].

In secret, he supported the Neo-Soviet Bolshevik movement, helping them respond meaningfully to the situation while government agencies were left flailing aimlessly in the dark.<ref name=CF4 /> In early June 2030, Rossartre, trapped in contaminated Japan, used his knowledge gained as a relics scientist and tapped into the Russian nuclear submarines satellite network to contact Mikhail in Moscow and ask for his help in fleeing Japan with the body of [[Kawasaki Kazusa]], an ELID-immune human. Mikhail arranged for the nuclear submarine Alexander III to pick Rossartre and Kazusa's body at sea near Sadoshima and fly them from Vladivostok to Moscow, using the heavy Bolshevik influence in the Russian Far East. On 8 July 2030, Mikhail and Zelinsky met with Rossartre and seized his notes, portable hard drive and recording pen, and duplicated them. They then asked him to relate his experiences in contaminated area of Korea, China and Japan before sending him back on a night flight to London with his personal items and a thousand pounds sterling cash. The Bolsheviks seized Kazusa's body and experimented on it, but concluded that it could not help solve ELID.<ref name=CF1 /> | ||
As the federal government moved to quash the brewing revolution, Mikhail supported Zelinsky as he suppressed anti-Bolshevik operations, eventually leading to the rise of the Neo-Soviet Union after the Battle of Minsk of March 2032. At this date, Mikhail disappeared from Moscow, and his pension stopped being withdrawn starting April 2032. A report from the Chasniki Frontline Command Center from February 2032 mentioned an old man wearing the bars of a Lieutenant-General of the National Guard, but walking without any difficulty.<ref name=CF4 /> In 2033, the Rossartrists mentioned Mikhail as an important contact in their plans to save mankind from extinction in [[World War Three]].<ref name=CF2 /> During the war, in May 2049, Zelinsky contacted Mikhail after discovering a relics data breach caused by [[Lycoris]].<ref name=CF3>{{cite|cf2|part. 3}}</ref> Another Rossartrist report from the early 2050s speaks of Misha as a "former comrade".<ref name=CF2>{{cite|cf2|part. 2}}</ref> | |||

After the Paldiski Incident, [[Havier Witkin]] reported to [[the Commander]] that Mikhail was very pleased with the results of their operation in the base despite the temporary activation of the [[Pike|Starfish]].<ref>{{cite|gfl|dr|Departure Time III}}</ref> | |||
