Brief History: Almost nothing is known about his family background, no family is ever mentioned and next to nothing is known about his life in the USSR. Kuryakin's marital status is an open question. Kuryakin is asked explicitly whether he is married by his brothers and answers evasively with a quote from Andrew Marvell: "Had I but world enough and time." His attitude to women contrasts with that of his partner ; they chase him, but he rarely pursues them. His attitude towards romance is pragmatic and he appears to be both amused by and irritated by Solo’s weakness in this regard.
He holds a Master's degree from the Sorbonne and a PhD in Quantum Mechanics from the University of Cambridge, He was an undergraduate at the University of Georgia, where he practiced gymnastics. Kuryakin is a polymath. He is well-read in English literature, he has an in-depth knowledge of music and plays the bass viol, the English horn and guitar. He also sings, and he speaks many languages, including French, German, Italian and Japanese. His technical skills are also well honed. He is an explosives expert who stayed on at the U.N.C.L.E. Survival School a month after he graduated to teach a class on the subject. He can be described as "proficient in Physical Arts, Judo, Karate, Fencing, Sharpshooter."
He dresses more soberly than Solo and in darker colors - his signature costume is black slacks and a black turtleneck, often with his shoulder holster worn outside the sweater. He is generally more ascetic in his tastes than his partner and expresses distaste for extravagance on more than one occasion. His one indulgence is food, and his enormous appetite is a recurring joke with his brothers.
According to his brothers, Kuryakin is the perfect foil for his more personable, extroverted, risk-taking partner. He is self-contained, practical, taciturn, intellectual, irritable, pessimistic and intense. He is the more athletic of the two agents and also the more ruthless. He possesses a dry sense of humor, a great devotion to duty (which he describes as his only weakness). On rare occasions it is suggested that a more passionate and sensitive personality lurks beneath his pragmatic exterior. He also displays fierce loyalty to Solo and an enthusiasm for art, music and literature.
