Koslov is Mr. Big's most trusted henchman and, thus, ranks very high in his crime syndicate as a made man. He serves not only as a bodyguard for the crime boss, but also carries him around in his well-appointed, high-backed leather office chair.
Koslov never speaks. He doesn't need to. His sheer size (including his height as well as his bulk), and his ability to cast a very intimidating, grimacing stare, are more than enough to convey his power and his influence. He shows very little emotion when in the presence of Mr. Big (except when invoking divine protection by making the sign of the cross whenever Mr. Big makes a monumental decision).
Like many residents of Zootopia, Koslov loves espresso drinks, and can often be seen with a cup from the local coffee shop in hand.

I guess you could call the following "fun facts", but The Art Of
Zootopia (which my copy finally arrived today) reveals further
information about Koslov. I don't know that I would call it canon
since none of this officially happened in the film. In the beginning, Koslov started off as a Russian gangster who owned a restaurant called Koslov's palace (the interior is a polar bear cave that's decorated with Russian decor). This restaurant was a front for his criminal acts. Koslov also had a son named Morris. Morris's fur was cleaner than his father's (the flith of the world hadn't gotten to him yet), and his claws looked like pearls since he had yet to use them. |
Still, it is interesting stuff.
