Anikanov Family

The Anikanov Family is a large family that consists of many of the humans and bots of the Manor.

History
Leonid Lepyokhin can be seen as the 'original' Anikanov. He built the bots Красный and Чернить, with Chernit later being abandoned in Pripyat during the Chernobyl nuclear accident and Krasnyy going on to raise his grandson, Pavel Lepyokhin. Leonid had a son, Mikhail, who was a spy for the USSR in America during the Cold War. He went undercover at the company that would later become Anikanov Labs for surveillance on a project that was rumored to be a space-faring nuclear weapon. Because Mikhail was missing for most of Pavel's young life, his mother Irena and 'uncle' Kras helped raise him and his sister Anastasia.

When Mikhail was captured and imprisoned he put Krasnyy in storage at the Labs and elected Pavel as head of the company. To try and distance himself from his father's misdeeds in the eyes of the government Pavel changed his last name to his mother's surname, Anikanov. His sister and mother remained in Russia, and he believed Kras to be destroyed.

In 1994 Pavel partnered with Walter Robotics, specifically with Walter Worker Hiram Sprint, to build the newest model of the MRM line, MRM-19, better known as Lav. Lav proved to be a monumental failure and was quickly covered up by the production of MRM-20, or Hiram. Pavel and Sprint grew close enough to consider each other as members of the family even though a formal arrangement had never been made. Years later, Hiram married Captain and his twin sister Beacon and adopted daughter Siren joined the family. It was also during this time that Sprint adopted The Lamp when he first came to the Manor from Indonesia, thus adding him to the family as well.
