Biography
Marvin Russel was a professional criminal, drug dealer, and activist for the American Indian Movement as a Sioux Indian living in the Badlands. Along with his brother, John Russell, he had a history of juvenile delinquency while living with their impoverished family at a reservation in Minnesota and spent a year in prison. He developed a resentment towards the United States. John was later killed in a botched FBI operation, prompting Marvin to travel to Europe to connect with international terrorists. He gained the trust of the PFLP by killing an undercover Hellenic Police officer in Athens and by comparing the Indian Wars to the Israeli–Palestinian conflict. Marvin then helps Ismael Qati and Ibrahim Ghosn enter the United States with a nuclear bomb. However, Qati and Ghosn deemed him to be a security risk and murdered him in a Denver hotel on the day of the nuclear detonation at the Denver Super Bowl. Despite this, their sloppy work allowed the FBI to ascertain the circumstances behind the bomb.
