Katrina Mirinova

Quick Information
Current Status
A Sergeant in UNTIL, stationed in Millennium City (Alpha -Seven-Six), She has demonstrated remarkable accuracy and efficiency in her shooting. She has also demonstrated the ability to heal from almost any injury, albeit slowly. She is known for being incredibly agile, and maintains situational awareness on almost any battlefield.
As part of an assistance team for a group of heroes who met during the crash of Oceanic 508, Katrina and her squad were assigned to watch over and guide Valkyrja. As Valkyrja has been known to disappear for days at at time, Katrina has had her hands full dealing with concerns within PRIMUS and UNTIL about the creature running rogue throughout Millennium City.
While assisting with the Blood Moon, Katrina responded to a call over the radio from a heroine calling herself Acuity. While Acuity was able to keep the reverent of Flechette II distracted, she was close to being overwhelmed by zombies, and was rescued by Katrina. After the Blood Moon, Katrina found out that Acuity had also assisted UNTIL soldiers guarding the school, and traced her back to the school and the student Andrea Halkias. She talked with the school about letting a minor out patrolling by themselves and learned that Acuity was out without permission from the school.
Katrina has also been put in charge of the new hero, Titan-8 to assist him in learning how to better pilot his armor in order to reduce collateral damage that he was causing by leaping around. Katrina is also in charge of Valravn due to her close association with Valkyrja
History
Part of a super soldier program purchased by the Russians, Katrina Mirinova worked for ARGENT as a free agent. After two years with ARGENT, the program was quickly sold to the Goodman Institute as part of a grant from PRIMUS. It is suspected ARGENT was eager to get rid of its new weapon, though ARGENT files on her have been destroyed.
Katrina served with PRIMUS for almost another 2 years under Special Agent Jake Kutter, as part of a tactical team and field operations. While she was suspected of being meta-human, and both mystical and psionic evaluations turned up positive, low-caliber results, and her skill evaluations put her directly mid-range of her group, and her muscle density put her weight far above what a normal human for her size should weigh. Kutter asserted she was not really pushing herself to her full potential. This was clearly demonstrated during Gigaton's attack on Project Greenskin, when her team was cut off HQ by Irradiates. Not only was she able to fend off Radiates and Grondlings, she was able to protect the injured members of the team, raid for further ammunition and get medical supplies from a hideout held by Major Gertz. In that conflict, her fellow agents witnessed her perform amazing feats of acrobatics and agility, along with high degrees of marksmanship.
Kutter enrolled Mirinova in the Silver Avengers program, and she is listed as showing promise through the use of Cyberline. Under Cyberline treatments, her performance excelled.
A year later, Katrina applied to UNTIL and was accepted. PRIMUS keeps most of Katrina's files as TOP SECRET, PRIMUS ONLY. The move promoted her from Lance Corporal to Corporal, and part of the Alpha Seven Six Squad.
When Acuity was imprinted with Lancer's psyche and -- along with the PSI villain Ego -- attacked UNTIL's Millennium City HQ, Katrina was able to resist the mind control long enough to get to the ADIS teleporter, to get reinforcements. She didn't know that the teleporter had been infected by a virus developed by servants of Dr. Destroyer, as Dr. Destroyer tried to pull her to one of his facilities to perform the same type of conversion on her as had been done to Major Thesken. The plan was partially thwarted by heroes, and Katrina was trapped in the ADIS buffers for over a month. Finally, UNTIL, finding no way to recover the Corporal, decided to release the buffers. This allowed heroes to follow her psychic connection with Nick to Dr. Destroyer's facility. Unknown to Destroyer, Katrina had manipulated the Warlord into trying to get Katrina from Destroyer, and instead of working on brainwashing her, found himself having to engage the Warlord's forces. In the chaos, heroes arrived, rescued Katrina and captured Titanos, who was the converted Thesken.
For her actions, Katrina was promoted to Sergent, and awarded the Order of Valor.

Spoiler Warning
The following details are about a player-created storyline, or is information currently unrevealed about a character.
Please do not use this information ICly unless given permission to do so.
While PRIMUS records indicate she was part of the Silver Avenger program for almost a year, Katrina Mirinova is Cyberline immune, as she is highly resistant to most drugs and poisons.
Note: Studying and/or reproducing the mix of mysticism and scientific techniques over long periods of time (intense study) has produced nervous breakdowns, madness, and in one case, suicide. It has been determined by both UNTIL and PRIMUS that those files remain sealed and warded by Dr.s Black and White and are only to be consulted in extreme situations.
As a side effect of the treatment she received, Katrina must make an effort not to see *everything* in terms of combat. Her tactical and strategic knowledge is almost prescient, and while Mentiac is completely unimpressed with her knowledge in any other area, he has yet to beat her in a game of chess, and is infuriated when reminded that she can pull every game to a draw. Her ability to see everything in terms of combat weakens her ability to empathize, hence current roles she's been given at UNTIL -- to try and grow those abilities.
Katrina also has a low level Psychic connection with Nicholas Stewart, and in physical contact, they can actually act telepathically. Distance weakens the contact somewhat, though even when Katrina is on UNTIL's moonbase, she is still aware of Nicholas' presence on earth. She believes the psychic connection is what keeps her from being the sociopathic killer she was under ARGENT, and worries what the loss of that connection could mean for her.
