Arkady Kirilenko is the main antagonist in Battlefield: Bad Company 2.

Role
Kirilenko is a Russian colonel and scientist that seeks the destruction of the United States of America.

The squad first sees him at the start of the mission Cold War, where he executes a U.S. soldier that Bad Company was supposed to rescue. Preston had him in his sights, but was not given authorization to shoot him. Later on, while speaking with Agent Aguire, 'B' Company finds out that Kirilenko is searching for a compound the Japanese designed during World War 2. The squad is then sent to Chile to find the compound and Kirilenko. With the help from a US Armoured Division, they eventually find him in a bunker thanks to information given by a Russian prisoner, but he manages to escape. The squad finds the compound in the old freighter, the Sangre del Toro, and give it to Aguire, who then double-crosses them and gives it to Kirilenko. Kirilenko then betrays Aguire and kills him, before ordering his troops to kill Bad Company. However, after the timely arrival of Flynn 's Blackhawk which kills most of his troops, Kirilenko orders a soldier with an RPG to fire it at Flynn, killing Flynn and downing the helicopter. 'B' Company then move through a South American city to find Kirilenko and the "Scalar weapon", the Weapon of Mass Destruction for which the compound was required, but as they find the Scalar Weapon it is test fired, wiping out a large US Force inside the city. 'B' Company follows and boards the plane which Kirilenko and the Scalar weapon are on. The plane takes off for the US to deliver the Scalar Weapon's deadly punch, but over the state of Texas, 'B' Company destroys the Scalar Weapon, tearing apart the plane and putting them and Kirilenko into a free fall. Whilst Sweetwater is struggling with Kirilenko for a single parachute in free fall, Preston shoots and kills him with an MP-443 Grach.
