He lives with his family in a mansion in [[Beachgate]], [[Broker]], and owns the [[Perestroika]] Cabaret Club at [[Tulsa Street]], Broker. He is forty five years old and formerly of the U.S.S.R., where he served in the Navy during the Cold War along with his friend [[Dimitri Rascalov]]. The two then spent time in a prison camp in harsh, snowy Siberia, and Mikhail would often remind Dimitri of the time spent there to guilt him into following orders; in the mission [[The Master and the Molotov]], he claimed that without his help, Dimitri would have been "the prison bitch of some gym monkey". Eventually, the duo made it to America, and Mikhail brought his family; his wife [[Ilyena Faustin|Ilyena]] and daughter [[Anna Faustin|Anna]]. Although Ilyena says Mikhail was once "beautiful", he has become very short-tempered and violent with her and their daughter -- he is shown screaming abuse at his wife whenever [[Niko]] sees them together, and doesn't hesitate to take out a hit on his daughter's biker boyfriend. | |||

Cocaine and alcohol abuse, however, have degraded his business sense, and he has become paranoid, intensely controlling and angry. This has given him a violent streak, which leads to the murders of [[Andrei Utraniyev]], [[Lenny Petrovic]], and [[Jason Michaels]], the latter a member of the [[Lost Brotherhood]] biker gang. Faustin meets [[Niko Bellic]] after Niko kills a low-level employee in Faustin's employ, [[Vladimir Glebov]]. Rather than killing Niko in turn, Mikhail offers him some work, including the assassination of Lenny Petrovic on a spurious suspicion of betrayal. | ||
The murder of Lenny Petrovic violates a peace treaty between Faustin and the most powerful Russian in the city, [[Konstantin Petrovic|Kenny Petrovic]]. Petrovic puts contracts out on the heads of Mikhail, Dimitri, and the assassin, [[Niko Bellic|Niko]]. Determined to make peace, Dimitri betrays Mikhail | The murder of Lenny Petrovic violates a peace treaty between Faustin and the most powerful Russian in the city, [[Konstantin Petrovic|Kenny Petrovic]]. Petrovic puts contracts out on the heads of Mikhail, Dimitri, and the assassin, [[Niko Bellic|Niko]]. Determined to make peace, Dimitri betrays Mikhail, sending Niko to [[Perestroika]] to assassinate him as a peace offering to the Petrovics. Faustin flees to the roof of the club, but Niko gives chase, and kills him as promised. | ||
He owns a [[Turismo]] (no fixed colour) which can be stolen from the driveway of his house, and is seen driving a custom black [[Schafter]] at the beginning of the mission [[The Master and the Molotov]]. Mikhail has several tattoos, a Russian Mafia staple; both he and Dimitri have tattoos on the palms of their hands which represent that they are "brothers for life", according to Mikhail. | |||
