Pavel Kravitch was a Russian terrorist apart of the Black Baton and a subordinate of Erich Rhoemer, acting as Rhoemer's communications specialist during the DC bombing operation in 1998. Kravitch knew little to no English but knew his enemies well, and was likely instructed by Rhoemer that Gabriel Logan would intervene with the operation.

Organizations

Black Baton, serving as its Communications Expert.

As far as other organizations, nothing is known...he most likely served in the Russian military or was an expert in communications with some sort of service.

Appearance

Kravitch has no distinguishing characteristics that set him apart from any Black Baton terrorist that was apart of the Washington DC Bombing. He wears the standard black ski-mask, the black cargo pants as well as a white sleeved shirt that appears to have overall straps on the sides. In contrast to the final game, his actual uniform differs in the demo where he is given something far different than his underlings. His age is unknown, but based on his Russian dialect, he would appear to be over the age of 30.

Appears In

Syphon Filter

When he's first introduced, he is seen walking in a video surveillance footage taken within the Washingon DC Subway station. Markinson explains to Lian, whom did not recognize the man, that it is Pavel Kravitch, Rhoemer's communications expert. Markinson gives the order that once Kravitch is eliminated, that his communications uplink must also be destroyed.

Upon starting his mission, Lian informs Gabe over a comm unit that she's identified Rhoemer on Level 1, Girdeux on Level 2, but has no sign of Kravitch or Aramov. Gabe makes his way into a restraunt after dealing with various Black Baton terrorists as well as assisting the CBDC, from which he locates Kravitch after Lian informs him of an interference in their communications...he's hiding behind a bar. Keeping his distance while firing with a 9mm Handgun, Kravitch ducks and covers behind the bar...moving out from his cover to try and attack Gabe before returning once more. Gabe, tired of these games fires a shot into Kravitch's skull and proceeds to destroy the uplink.

Equipment

Flak Jacket

Kravitch is the first person seen wearing a Flak Jacket (aside from Gabe), so upon shooting him in the chest it's revealed that he can't be hurt. Through repeated firing the vest can be broken through, however Gabe takes a shot and goes for the head instead.

9mm Handgun

Standard issue and nothing special amongsts lesser Black Baton terrorists. He fired it from behind cover and occassionally would pop out to try and pick off a shot. The only issue is that his accuracy was so poor that it hardly landed a shot (Gabe would litterally have to stand still for 10 seconds just to get hit).

Trivia

• While he appears like any normal Black Baton terrorist during his brief appearance, originally in the demo for Syphon Filter he was featured with an entirely different outfit that set him apart from the others. This outfit resembled the uniform used by terrorists in the subway (after it's destruction). The outfit can also be considered similar to Archer's subordinates in Syphon Filter 2, sadly in the final game Pavel was given just a normal uniform rather than anything to set him apart.
