 Reference.com/Encyclopedia/Yassen Gregorovich
Gregorovich was at least partially instructed by Alex Rider's late father, John Rider, who appeared to be working as an unspecified instructor (though certainly in some form of combat, considering that he was a weapons and martial arts expert) for SCORPIA on the Italian island of Malagosto.
Gregorovich is in debt to John Rider; during a joint assignment between the two, Rider saved his student's life; something which Gregorovich never forgot.
A Russian by birth, Yassen Gregorovich's was described to have blond hair, a body of a dancer, pale blue eyes, pale skin, distinctly chiselled lips, and "...almost feminine eyelashes".
