Arcadi

Background
"For country. For Justice. For a better tomorrow. - Arcadi"Arcadi (Russian: Аркадий, Ukrainian: Аркаді) is one of the playable secondary Characters in Vigilantes. Arcadi is a Slavic ex-military type from Russia or Ukraine and he conducts himself accordingly.

Haunted by a loss of a dear family member and his unknowing participation in unethical acts perpetrated by the military, Arcadi searches for an opportunity to make his stand and redeem his soul as he helps Sam Contino retake Reiker City from the Criminal Gangs that terrorize it.

UPLIFT
Arcadi has very weak Utility, making him a poor Craftsman or a Combat Medic, but has exceptional Leadership, making him a great Commander. His Prowess, Fleetness, and Toughness are all average, making him a decent generalist in combat (he doesn't have a significant edge in either Melee or Ranged combat). His slight edge in Instinct makes him a slightly better Ranged combatant (albeit only by 3 points), but also makes him slightly better with Bladed Melee Weapons.

All in all, Arcadi is an average combatant and his value primarily stems from his high Leadership and Ability to effectively Interrogate criminals.

Arcadi starts at 26 UPLIFT points, as opposed to Sam's 25. This is a small, but not insignificant advantage.

Combat Role
Arcadi is a good Commander and fills the role of Negotiator and Interrogator when selected as part of the Assault Team.

Arcadi is not particularly effective in combat, as his skills are too widely spread to be any good at any specific task. He fills the role of a generalist in combat, which means that he can do several things but he is painfully average at all of them.

Arcadi is by far the best at Interrogating criminals second only to Sam Contino, if he would choose to develop his skills in that area.

Strategic Role
Arcadi is the best Character to develop Trade Skill on due to his exceptional Leadership.

Arcadi is not really good at any other task on Strategic level but can be improved if enough points are invested.
