Description
Shatalov was born in 1955 and was raised to be a part of a spy team sent into the United States during the Cold War. His spy team was led by a man named Nikolai Averkiyev whom Shatalov betrayed by revealed himand the other members to the police. Years later, Shatalov was hired by the Streamix Corporation for his significant skills with computers and programming. While helping Robert to understand the Digimon had became sentient beings, they started to work in private together several times and became best friends. Shatalov is a philosophical man. He turned against Nikolai and the others, because he saw no difference between any human, despite their different cultures or backgrounds. He didn't even care if the Digimon were truly living or not, since he considered Earth itself as a living being, with humans being the "organs" of the planet.

DigiPast Chronicles
In the Arc 1, set in 1986–1990, it is explained how Shatalov was hired by Streamix Corporation and how he befriended with Robert. Together they find out that the Digimon have become sentient and they also solve together the Key left behind by the Celestial Digimon and develop the Crystal Catalyst to give the Digimon power to Digivolve. In the end of the Arc 1, Nikolai escapes prison and wants the secrets of the Streamix Corporation to sell for some money after which he would kill Shatalov. Shatalov escapes and after an incident with the police, he tried take Nikolai's guns, but accidentally caused his death. After the accident on the Streamix Corporation caused by the first Digi-Gate, Shatalov agrees with Robert to continue the project on their own, without Streamix Corporation being part of it.
