James Gastovski
After the loss of his friend Victor Troska, Gastovski retired from military service, opening a small civilian airline company on Malden called 'Pegasus Air Taxis'. However, three years after the incident on Nogova he was contacted by Colonel Blake after the discovery of foreign troops on Everon, and was persuaded to join the conflict. He undertook sabotage missions behind enemy lines, and was directly responsible for capturing General Guba at the end of the Cold War Crisis storyline.
Appears to be a fan of 007 movies.

General Guba
The little background information there is on Guba reveals that he spent five years as a Commandant in one of Stalin’s Siberian gulags, where he earned the nickname 'The Dentist'. The origin of this nickname is still unknown.
Under Brezhnev he moved to the KGB and we lost track of him. Rumor has it he was running a special interrogation unit in Moscow.
Three years later after his defeat on Nogova, in the uncertainty that spread after Mikhail Gorbachev came to power in the Soviet Union in 1985, Guba took it upon himself to promote the 'old ideals' which he still firmly held to. With the well-equipped Third Army at his command he struck out from his base on Kolgujev and invaded Everon. The NATO forces based on nearby Malden were taken by surprise but, under the leadership of Colonel Blake eventually triumphed, and Major James Gastovski captured Guba as he tried to escape.
Note: official BI documentation gives Guba's name as General Ivan Vasilii Guba in CWC, but within the game his name is given as Colonel Aleksei Vasilii Guba.
