Diavolo isnt even a Russian name!!

Max Zorin was German but raised in the Soviet Union. Diavalo is also likely to be from the same.

"Well, it might not have been Russian, but it could have still been Eastern European."

Except it isn't. You do realise that Eastern Europe is a real place right?

Diavolo is the Italian for "Devil" from the Greek 'diabolos' ("slanderer").

"Nothings gonna change my world!"
