Irina Spalko

Colonel Doctor Irina Spalko was an Eastern Ukranian leader of the Soviets who sought to find the Temple of Akator and unlock the secret of Knowledge and The Crystal Skulls.
== Description ==
Irina has short black hair, a light nougat head with a serious expression on her face, she has a black mouth, black eyes with white pupils, and black eyebrows. She has a grey torso, which is buttoned by gold buttons, she has grey pockets, and a brown belt with a golden buckle with a star printed on it. She has grey arms and legs and black hands.
== Background ==
She is the main enemy in Kingdom of the Crystal Skull and is usually seen carrying a rapier. She has the rank of Colonel Doctor and was referred by General Ross as "Stalin's fair-haired girl". She was killed when she returned the Skull to the temple, causing the 13 ( 3 in the set) Crystal Skeletons to form into a single interdimensional alien being, saying that she could have all the knowledge of the world and beyond. Spalko demanded to know everything, so the essence of knowledge was bestowed upon her. However, it was too much for her, and she spontaneously combusted, disintegrated, and her remains, along with the Russian soldiers, were sucked into an interdimensional portal.
