Cholev

Cholev was a member of Petar Tudzharov's organization and a minor character in season one.

Description
Cholev was a brigadier (soldier) in Petar Tudzharov's organization for an unknown time and would occasionaly do tasks for Dzharo, such as collecting money from various rackets and associates of the gang.

Season 1
In 2011, Cholev was given another task but, as he puts it, "messed things up". He is then brought by the Big twin and the Little twin to Dzharo to explain himself. He is understandably nervous during the meeting for fear of retribution for his failure and begs for another chance, which Dzharo gleefully grants and orders Cholev and the twins to collect money from Borovetz which is in the mountains, although Cholev is unaware that Dzharo has no intention to spare him, as he only calmed him down in order to lead him into a false sense of security, and has secretly instructed the twins to take him into the mountains and kill him.

Death
While driving to the destination, Tihomir says he's got to take a leak and Nikolai suggests he and Cholev smoke in the meantime. While Cholev is trying to light his cigarette, Nikolai takes out a Beretta pistol and shoots Cholev in the head, instantly killing him. Nikolai then stages the scene to make it appear as if Cholev committed suicide and both he and Tihomir leave.

Personality
Cholev was a loyal soldier to Dzharo, but unfortunately was very clumsy and incompetent in his job and very naive as he did not realize that a murderous sociopath like Dzharo does not forgive, even for the slightest minor mistakes such as his. Despite these traits, he wasn't a cold-blooded, rude and arrogant brute or a sadistic, psychotic killer like most gangsters. His error was that he got mixed up with the wrong crowd.
