Anatoly was once Oliver Queen's enemy, back when the two men were very different. Now, the Arrow character returns to the show, but as a villain.
Mentor to Oliver, Anatoly’s return to the show will put the Arrow in a tough place. Speaking to EW, Stephen Amell noted that Oliver will have a tough choice to make regarding the fate of his former friend:
“Anatoly has an interesting power over him that I don’t know a lot of other villains — if any villain at all — has ever had. Oliver didn’t kill Chase for a very specific reason, because that’s what Chase wanted, but he tried to kill Malcolm, and he killed Slade once upon a time, and then put him away in prison, and then he went on this anti-killing thing, but he still killed Ra’s al Ghul and still killed Damien Darhk. Anatoly is this weird grey area of a guy that he loves and respects too much.”
