He needed yassen to die so that yassen would tell Alex about Scorpia.  Yassen wouldn't have done it otherwise

Ohh yes ! I never thought of that ! Thanks  shocked  I still wish Yassen hadnt died, there was still a lot of mystery about him, he almost treated alex like a son  :lol:Well i think soo lol ! Why did he have to die, he was such an amazing character !! *grwls* not fair !!

Was anyone else seriously mortified by the death of Yassen Gregorovich? Anyone? Anyone at all? Please say I'm not the only one who enjoyed reading about the blond Russian assassin...?
Just one thing about the circumstances under which his death occured... He is one of the world's best contract killers, right? He is uber-cautious and almost paranoid, right? So WHY THE HELL WASN'T HE WEARING A BULLETPROOF VEST, HM?!
I just don't get it... I mean, Alex had one and he's just a 14 year oild British spy... Yassen Gregorovich is a 35 year old experienced amnd skilled assassin who apparently wasn't wearing a bullet-proof vest... WHERE'S THE LOGIC IN THAT?! And I mean, I considered that maybe he was wearing a bullet-proof vest and it got pierced... but the bullet was only fired from a pistol and therefore would have to have been within extremely close-range...
Can somebody please explain the logic of this to me?! I mean, what was Horowitz thinking when he killed off the best evil/slightly good character in the whole series?HuhHuh??

It's not because he's dead that he can not play a role in the books anymore.  Who knows, we might still find out lots of stuf about him...most secrets about people you only find out after their deaths

But whats so bad about being evil? Our evil is rather agreeable. We are actually rather pleasantly evil.

Yes, valid point i totally agree,  grin  i just liked if Horowitz could have kept him alive, because he didnt seem to be Alex's enemy, almost like a friend, he was an interesting character.

Da but that would get kind of boring wouldn't it? Especially without a certain blond Russian assassin to spice things up...

yes... but ven if Damian Lewis had died his hair, he still would not have been right to play Yassen... I mean, yeah they're the same age, but Yassen is meant to look 25-28ish, whereas Damian Lewis looks his age, if not older. Also, Yassen is described as having no accent, with perhaps the slightest trace of Russian... the accent Damian Lewis attempts is... well... It's hard to tell but it is certainly not Russian! It's more like, a cross between German and Bulgarian.

Something that I heard before I left the forum was that though we all loved Yassen, it would've been really lame, like Alex 9 - Yassen returns...for the Third time!!!!
