Victor Sopot was a ruthless and oppressive dictator, who ruled over the Republic of the Commonwealth on Earth as Chancellor. Sopot is the main antagonist of Red Faction II during the first half of the game.
History[]
Nothing much is really known about Sopot's early life before 2080. Using nanotechnology obtained from the fallen Ultor Corporation, Sopot was able to create his own squad of nano-enhanced super soldiers, and he would use the squad to complete important missions that required their enhanced combat skills.
Eventually, Sopot began to fear what he had created, and believed that the squad may become too dangerous and possibly rebel against him. Due to this, Sopot declared them enemies of the Commonwealth, and ordered his military to find and eliminate them, after which he planned to replace the squad with a less intelligent group of super soldiers, known by the Red Faction as "The Processed".
Due to this betrayal, the squad, with the aid of the Red Faction, rose up against Sopot and his military. Despite their efforts, Sopot's forces were unable to eliminate them. Under the leadership of Crate Molov, the squad of super soldiers ultimately emerged victorious in their battle against Sopot and his forces. Sopot was eventually executed in his own Citadel by Alias, the squad's demolitions expert, by forcing him into the Citadel's missile silo at gunpoint, before launching the missile, obliterating Sopot in the blast.
Trivia[]
- Sopot's facial appearance strongly resembles Joseph Stalin.
- There is a city in Poland called Sopot. However, it's unlikely that the game developers used it as inspiration for naming the character.
