Calvin Mikhailov is an illegal arms dealer, former computer analyst, and immigrant from the UNSR living in Tokyo. He is a business partner of "Big Papi".

Biography
Born in Kursk, Russia in 2009, Calvin Mikhailov was raised by a predominantly Jewish/Russian family as a computer engineer.

In 2045, when he turned 36, Calvin and his family watched as his country's government was overthrown and replaced by the communist government that called themselves the Union of New Socialist Republics. Predicting civil unrest in the foreseeable future, his family attempted to leave the country for Europe, but were stopped by UNSR soldiers who were to halt anyone attempting to cross the border. Trying to convince the soldiers to let them through, they were told that one person could leave, but all the others had to stay in Russia. His family insisted that he leave the country, so he reluctantly went. Before leaving, he promised that one day he would come back to get them out as well.

Deciding that Japan was one of the most politically sound countries to move to, he hitchhiked his way across the world and eventually landed himself in Tokyo, where he found himself unable to hold a job as a computer engineer. However, he managed to survive on part-time jobs and favors.

In 2070, at the age of 61, he had still not made enough money to retire, and found himself suffering from the global stock market crash that had been affecting the whole world. He found himself pushing guns and drugs around Tokyo, and even worked for Nightshade at times. Not long after learning the "ins-and-outs" of arms dealing, he decided to work on his own. By 2079, he had become a major dealer among the gangs of Tokyo.

In 2082, he took shelter in The Happy House, a nightclub that he helped establish, hoping to hide from a gang he had upset with a poor deal. There, Calvin was met by one of his fellow arms dealers, "Big Papi", who was looking for him with his friends in hopes that he could decode a datachip for them. However, the gang he was hiding from attacked the night club, and a firefight broke out. During the fight, Cordelia (one of Papi's allies) and Calvin went missing from the club (as seen in "No Fighting on the Dance Floor").
