Dr. Mikhail Sergeyevich Cossack (Ｄｒ．コサック, Dr. Kosakku^?)(rus. Михаил Сергеевич Казак (Михаил Сергеевич Казаков?) is a Russian roboticist who lives with his daughter, Kalinka. In Mega Man 4, he sent a letter to Dr. Light stating that he has created eight Robot Masters and sent them to take over the world, in order to show the world his genius. Mega Man set out to defeat the eight new Robot Masters, and made his way to Cossack's Siberian fortress. Just as he defeated Cossack, however, Proto Man appeared with Kalinka and revealed the truth: Dr. Wily had kidnapped Kalinka and forced Dr. Cossack to build the robots as ransom. After Mega Man defeated Wily once again, Dr. Cossack built a robotic bird called Beat for him, as a gift for saving his daughter.

Like Light and Wily, Dr. Cossack also has a Battle Network series counterpart, Dr. Cossak. He only appears in the third game, helping Lan Hikari and MegaMan.EXE at certain points in the story. It's revealed that he was involved in the "Independent Navi" project, and the creator of Bass.EXE.

[edit] Cossack Catcher

Cossack Catcher is the machine that Dr. Cossack uses in the fourth Cossack stage. Its design is based on the UFO prize catchers commonly found in arcades. It's weakness is the Dust Crusher.
