Crocodile

The ultimate arms dealer: cold, patient, and devastatingly calculating.

Sir Basil Zaharoff (also spelled Zakharov) was the infamous early 20th-century arms dealer and financier known as the 'Merchant of Death,' who sold weapons to both sides of conflicts with chilling emotional detachment. His entire career was built on lying in wait, reading power structures, and striking at precisely the right moment — textbook crocodile behavior. Shrouded in mystery, operating through secrecy and manipulation, he accumulated vast wealth and influence while revealing nothing of himself, the consummate cold-blooded survivalist.
