Maxim Slava

Maxim Slava is a supporting character and is the main hitman and enforcer of the Makarov crime family.

Personality
Whilst a sociopath and cold-blooded killer, Maxim demonstrates loyalty to the Makarov family in turn and is very willing to be directed by a boss, as long as he is let off the leash at regular intervals. He views his killing as a form of art, planning meticously in many cases, always prepared with an escape route, and happy to confront multiple gunmen head-on. He demonstrates a substantial degree of discipline and professionalism when carrying out his tasks. His formidable combat skills and natural wits make him one of the deadliest and most feared killers in LA. He shows neither remorse nor empathy at any point. He also has a morbid sense of humor, as seen when he is mocking his foes in their pain or dying moments.

Maxim's true loyalties seem to lie ultimately with his former boss Vladimir Makarov, since he followed his posthumous instructions even when it was against his current bosses Sergei and Viktor. He maintains his loyalty to them as one of their top enforcers, and he also showed genuine distress at Vladimir's funeral.
