| Lev Kamarov is a well known (Fame 3) figure in international business, most commonly known for his successful investment in a broad-ranging portfolio that includes gold mines in Africa, oil wells in the Emirates, and a series of schools built in South America for impoverished youths. While he most commonly resides in Moscow, he is a very frequent international traveler whose passport bears stamps from China, America, Italy, and Mali, to name just a few. Several 'personal interest' interviews have been granted to foreign journalists, where Lev explains his philosophy in a simple sentence: "Everyone is worth a cup of coffee." He goes on throughout the interviews explaining that he encourages potential business partners, from struggling STEM students to philanthropic organizations in need of a donor, to reach out to his secretaries and be put in contact with him. "What good is wealth," the 57-year old, tattooed Russian asks, "if it is not being spent on behalf of the Cause?"
Streetwise 3+: Lev Kamarov is one of the international, forward-facing figures of power for the Russian mob. His interests in the criminal underworld are voracious, buying and selling everything from illegal military equipment and narcotics to facilitating Chinese, Iranian, and Russian procurement of sanctioned Western technology. He survives in this state via exhaustive political connections and scrupulous care to operate his network via a tangled web of front, shell, and holding companies that are insidiously difficult to link back to him personally.
Politics 3+: Lev Kamarov is an undisclosed source of funding for an incredible network of varying government entities, be they blue or red, municipal or state, law enforcement or healthcare. His asks to his donors are simple: When he calls you to meet for his cup of coffee, you will take his call, and you will 'consider' his request. Of note amongst similar powerbrokers, Lev's reputation in this arena is flawless -- he has never burned a public official who has not first broken their end of the deal.
Art & Media Sphere, Status 2+: The name 'Lev Kamarov' has been mentioned frequently in New York City's high society, but exclusively as a philanthropist who identifies disadvantaged but talented artists and sponsors them. While he never attends the galas and productions his proteges dominate, his ability to insert, grow, and excise individuals from this particular scene has been made abundantly clear.

| Hook 1 - Financial Assistance: Lev Kamarov has a well-known mantra and has publicly championed a philosophy that almost anyone can reach out to one of his organizations and could, in just a few short days, be sitting directly in front of him. He has a well-known and thoroughly reported record of making large monetary donations to both individuals and organizations in need of funding, provided they meet a few, certain screening criteria that seem to vary from candidate to candidate.
Hook 2 - Criminal Overlap: Amongst the criminal underworld, Lev has a reputation for being the most palatable and most political of the Russian mob's accessible elite. Upon arriving to a new area, he always attempts at least a token deconfliction effort with local criminal elements, and more-often-than-not funds them as yet another front between his activities and local law enforcement. He prefers words and joint profits over turf wars and is always talent scouting, always interested in hearing about a good scheme or heist proposal from local talent.
Hook 3 - Recruitment: For those unaffiliated with the occasionally brutal life of crime and cycles of abuse that Lev perpetuates, he allows an avenue of entry. Whether you are a white-collar accountant or a blue-collar construction worker, everyone is worth a cup of coffee, and Lev is confident he will find a way to get value out of you.
