Alexander Mirkov is a character in Just Cause 2.

Quote from the PDA[]

"Mirkov's "diplomatic career" began with the KGB. When the Soviet Union (USSR) collapsed, he transformed himself effortlessly into a Moscow mafia boss, making a fortune selling off military hardware from suitcase-nukes to second-hand warships.

Ice-cold, ruthless, his heavy set-features give away his roots in Ukrainian blacksmith stock.

Always a loyal friend to his ex-KGB friends, when the offer came for an "interesting" posting as a Second Trade Secretary to the Russian Embassy in Panau, Mirkov couldn't resist. He conveniently arrived six months before Papa Panay was blown up.

Mirkov's real task is to assess all anti-government groups on the island, select the best candidate, then fund and train said group until the candidate of their choice could be placed in the palace.

He views Razak Razman as a convenient ally and admires the organized brutality of the Roaches."

Actions in Panau[]

Spoiler warning: Significant plot details follow.

Alexander Mirkov is mentioned in the cut-scene at the end of the fourth Agency mission "Mountain Rescue". He is said to be supporting the Roaches and that he admired the organized brutality of Razak Razman's forces.

He enters the game in the fifth Agency mission Three Kings. After Rico kills Zhang Sun (the Chinese representative in Panau and supporter of the Reapers), Mirkov shows himself in a cut-scene taunting Rico and Sheldon. He shouts to a helicopter pilot over the phone: "Send me my tank - NOW!". As he says that, the person he shouted at over the phone arrives in a H-62 Quapaw, flies up to the top of the Three Kings Hotel and drops an SV-1003 Raider onto the roof. Mirkov then invites Rico to "Taste the wrath of Mother Russia!" The cut-scene then ends and Tom Sheldon shows up in a UH-10 Chippewa. Sheldon helps distract Mirkov by shooting at him, giving Rico the opportunity he needs to kill Mirkov, who uses his last words to say: "You may have beaten me, but not my homeland!". Sheldon then jumps out of the Chippewa, which crashes into the Raider and explodes, killing Mirkov for good. At the end of the mission, Tom comments that he "hates Commies".

Trivia[]

Mirkov erroneously refers to the SV-1003 as a tank despite its light armament and lack of tracks.
It can be assumed that his weapon of choice is the minigun since it is the only weapon that he uses, as he never leaves the turret in-game. He can not be grappled out of the turret either, which can reveal the weapons of some other NPCs.
