Backstory: Tenel was born in Sudbury, Ontario in Canada. His parents (Jack and Marie Asire) never really cared for him. His dad was a cop, and never had time for his family. Marie stayed at home and took care of Tenel till he was about 4. He went to school for 1 year and 2 months till his dad was shot and killed during a bank robbery. Having no money, Marie moved back to her parents home in Russia. Tenel didn't go back to school till he could speak Russian, at this age he was 6. Having a late start to school, he had to try extra hard to catch up with his proper age group. Tenel hated school with a passion, found if unneeded and slowly stopped trying. He finally caught up his age group and stopped trying very quickly. This was during Grade 6. As his grades became lower and lower as he finished school, and high school. Finishing with a 52% average.

Not being able to get a high paying job, he worked as a cashier at a restaurant. Every day he got yelled at for no reason, having orders barked at him, to do this or that. Most tasks were not even for him to do and took him away from the Cash Register. Another reason to get yelled at. He worked there for 3 years untill he finally quit from the stress and rage.

Tenel was now 21, and had no job, no home, no friends. He moved back in with his mom, looking for a job. Any job that would pay. He had to take his old job a year later. His boss was even harder on him this time. Tenel quickly became tired of his constant yelling, becoming more and more angry inside of himself. Six months later, he began to ignore his boss, and listen to customers instead. There were two ragged looking men. They walked in quietly, and sat down. They wore very strange cloths as if they were in a war or something. He wondered if it was a life for him, away from his boss, and away from Russia. Tenel tried to talk to them, but they ignored him and continued their conversation. They came in for about two weeks every day. Then disappeared.

Tenel began to ask around the Russian town, for the two men. Anyone he asked ignored him, as if Tenel was a part of the some gang. He was almost 24 now and continued to search for the men, while maintaining his job and dealing with the yelling from his boss.

One day, while he was working, another man looking like them walked in, looking very tired. This man was different from the others. He looked beaten, and tired. He sat at a stole and said "Hey, get me a drink" to Tenel. He was feeling nice, so listen and got him a drink. The boss saw Tenel and yelled at the man. The man stood up and began to walk out. Tenel stopped him and said "I wana talk, please stay!" The man looked at the boss and said "You have no idea where I have been...". The boss had now phoned the police to take him away. Tenel had no idea what to do! Stay and help the boss, or help the man. All that Tenel knew about this man is he knew how he wanted to live. Tenel tossed him a drink and they began to talk. In the 20 minute period before the police arrived, Tenel learned about "The Zone" and its location. He also learned that it was a place that he didnt want to go back to.

When the police walked in he jumped over the counter and ran for the back. The police opened fire on him, but he kept running threw the back, to the alley. Tenel now knew why he didn't want to go back. "The Zone" was hell. Tenel believed that he was already in Hell. He people that he dealt with now had no heart, no compassion and no reason to live. Something 'Clicked' in Tenel's head, his Boss should die. That if he could kill him, he would be free to run to the zone. And live as he wants, make friends, live, and make money.

He looked at his hands, as he became enraged. His blood boiled with rage and hatred. A sudden "Tenel get the fuck back here!!" was heard. He stood there, consumed in his rage. His boss walked out and grabbed him by the shirt and threw him into the kitchen. Tenel hit the ground hard, getting a large tare on his fore arm. This was the last time he would be pushed around. Tenel stood up, and yelled "Fuck you! Gorgrevik" In Russian, and grabbed a knife from the counter and stabbed his boss in the side. As he fell, Tenel stomped on his torso, siren could be heard from all directions. Tenel heard them and ran our the back door into the alley. The man was waiting outside. The first man, that was there when he was 21. Tenel looked at him and said "I need to get away, take me to the Zone". The man looked at Tenel and laughed. "Kid, you don't have want it takes to make it in the Zone" the man said. Tenel looked at him, then began to sprint away, getting hit by a police car just as he got out of the alley.


He woke up in an broken down apartment, and didn't know where he was. He tried to move, unable too. A voice that he remember said "Now that was not very smart, kid.. .  ." Tenel fell uncontentious. He awoke 2 days later to see taht he had been bandaged and taken care of. The man looked down at Tenel, "If your going into the Zone, you will need a gun," Tenel's eyes wandered around the room, "Got anything to say kid?". Tenel sat up asking, "Where am I?" "Your 17 clicks away from the Zone. In Ukraine. My place, and I am done with the Zone."

Tenel tried to walk. He managed to stand, still hurt, but fine enough to walk. "How long have I been out?" Tenel questioned. " 'bout 2 weeks" the man said. Then man placed a knife and a Fort 12 on the table. "If your goin in, best be prepared."

"Are you gunna train me? Help me? Anything aside from this?" Tenel begged the man. The man smiled "Heheh... Wont be easy. . . ".

Tenel stayed with the man for a year. At this time. Tenel was 29 and now ready to venture into the zone.


He was brought to a meeting, there were 16 people and 24 Soldiers. Corrupt men who were tired of guarding, money craving. Making people pay to enter the zone, not being aloud back out. The man turned to Tenel and said "When the truck leaves, jump off after about 200m." Tenel said by to the man, and hopped on the truck. He sat there quietly near the back, waiting for the moment to jump off... about 30 seconds past, and he jumped. When he hit the ground he looked at the truck. A sudden explosion was heard from the direction he was looking. He hid under a bush. There were 5 men that walked over in Trench Coats and hoods. One walked over and picked up Tenel. "Good listening..." The bandit knocked out Tenel.

Tenel awoke in a Jail Cell. Only wearing his clothes. There was one bandit there, talking out loud with an Irish accent "I say, your the only one to live, were gunna have a fun time with you.. .  ." Tenel felt trapped, empty and worst of all, he left everyone with out saying good bye. Knowing he was gunna die was hard for him to take. He looked at his hands, remembering his boss and how he killed him with mainly his feet. " Hey kid!! You listenin' to me?!" Tenel looked up "I'm no kid. Im probably older than you. In fact, I could probably kill you easily" The Irish bandit laughed "Ive got y'ur  shooter! You can do nothing! But call me Smoke" Tenel looked at Smoke, smiled and then looked around the room, "You know 'Smoke' I will get away." Three other bandits walked in, opening the jail. "Welcome to the Zone S.T.A.L.K.E.R." The tallest bandit said, "Now get the fuck out of my life" He lifted a Fort 12, that had 'Tenel Asire' engraved on the side. Tenel sat there and looked up the iron sight at the bandit. The bandit put his finger on the trigger and slowly pulled it. A sudden explosion was heard outside, and the 4 of them rushed out to see what it was. Tenel stood up, and grabbed his knife off the table, putting it in his sheath. And sitting back down. A few gun shots were heard from outside, but no bandits died.... Only Boars that set off a trap. The four bandits walked back in, looked at me and laughed. "You could have ran Stalker, but i guess you are dum'er than you look! HA!" Tenel looked up, angrily, but still sitting there. The tall bandit put the gun to Tenel's head. "See ya in Hell" Tenel said to him, pulling out the knife and stabbing him in the chest, pulling it out and grabbing his Fort 12. Aiming it at the bandits, "I told you Smoke" Tenel pulled the trigger. He walked out an hour later, Stretching, and pulling out his 'new' PDA as he wiped the blood off it, looking threw the settings.

Tenel looked around seeing a big warehouse, and walking towards it. The man at the gate was wearing a black suit with areas of red. Tenel walked by him, looking around until he was stopped by a guard. "Stalker. Don't cause trouble and you wont have trouble" Tenel looked at him, and kept walking. "The Bar" was were he was. He walked to the bar keep "What is there to do around here," "Stalker. I have a job, you wanna do it," "Sure." Tenel was sent to kill a Stalker called 'Libra' in the Old Military Warehouse. He slowly made his way to there, having two duty soldiers with him. Something didn't feel right in Tenel's head. When he opened his eyes he saw that the two men were dead, and he was surrounded by men with rifles in Camouflage. Tenel smiled, putting his hands up, "I take it your the bad guys?" he said, before being knocked out with the butt of a rifle.

"What should we do with him, he thinks we are the 'Bad Guys'! He was with some DUTY probably sent to kill some of us," "No, we must show him that we are good, we won't kill a stalker with no reason. All we will do is set him free when he wakes up. Simple as that" Tenel sat up. "This is the second time I have been knocked out today. God, people are assholes here... Where is 'Libra'?" A man leans over "Im Libra. Freedom Elite, care for some bread?" Tenel stood up, nodding and taking some.

He talked to them for a good 4 hours about the Zone, Freedom, Duty, and life. Tenel apologized and offered his help... Joining Freedom in weeks.
