Andriy Kobin, a Third Echelon asset with contacts in the black market, identifies a Russian gangster named Valentin Lesovsky as the broker for the sale.
Third Echelon Splinter Cell Archer and Voron field operative Kestrel are sent to terminate Lesovsky and his associate, Boris Sychev, and to obtain Lesovsky's contact list so Third Echelon can determine who he's working with inside the Russian military.
According to information obtained from Lesovsky's contact list, the front man for the cabal is a former GRU colonel named Leonid Bykhov. It is suspected that the network he represents is run by some of the highest ranking officers in the Russian Army.
