 The head of one of the Russian republics. He grew up in war, killing people, and now he compensates for everything he lacked as a teenager.

He does this at Putin's expense. Essentially, Putin buys his loyalty and tolerates any behavior.

 He has a son. Since childhood, he has behaved like Sacha Baron Cohen in the movie The Dictator. Only he does all of it in real life.

To give you an example, this is how he wins at boxing.
