Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell Conviction PC Game

Ten days prior to the apprehension of Sam Fisher, Third Echelon Agent Archer and Voron agent Kestrel are deployed to Nevsky Prospekt in St. Petersburg, Russia to halt rogue elements of the Russian military from selling advanced warheads on the black market. Intelligence from Andriy Kobin has pointed Archer and Kestrel to drug and human trafficker Valentin Lesovsky as the broker for the sale. Archer and Kestrel are to terminate Lesovsky and his associate, Boris Sychev, as well as gaining Lesovsky's contact list.

Archer and Kestrel are later deployed to the Russian embassy in Baku, Azerbaijan to gather intelligence on an arms deal conducted by former Russian GRU colonel Leonid Bhykov. Archer and Kestrel observe the arms deal and learn that Bhykov betrays Tagizade and orders his men to kill Tagizade. Archer and Kestrel prevent the destruction of the weapons crates, learning that the weapons Bhykov was going to sell were Block II JDAM missile guidance kits. Archer and Kestrel make their way to the banquet area to interrogate Bhykov. Archer and Kestrel learn that Bhykov was working with Major General Kerzakov, and that Kerzakov was in the Yastreb Complex, an underground fortress situated underneath Moscow's Red Square.
