Goren Umarov

Goren Umarov was a man who was the brother of Sergei Umarov and the father of Heidi Umarov Paulsen.
==Biography==
===Pre-Series===
Presumably born in an unknown area in Chechnya, not much was revealed about Goren's life except for the fact that he had a brother, Sergei.
At some point, Goren met an unnamed woman and they had a daughter named Heidi but possibly to Goren focusing on himself or his abusive nature, Heidi was repeatedly neglected to such an extent that she became malnourished.
Sometime during September 2016, a raid took place, the raid included NCIS Director Leon Vance and BPD officer Lena Paulsen with the raid also a part of Operation Festung.
In the ensuring gunfight, Goren and his three henchmen were killed while Lena discovered Heidi underneath a pile of dirty clothes and not wanting to turn her over to the remaining members of the Umarov family who presumably were just as monstrous and uncaring as Goren had been took Heidi in, raising her as her daughter.

==Legacy==
Although Goren died, Sergei, himself a criminal and mob boss broke out of prison, possibly after learning of his brother's death and fuelled by the thought of exacting revenge against those responsible, began working on a campaign determined to achieve his goal by any means necessary.
Presumably after escaping from prison, Sergei enlisted the help of BPD officer Frauke Biedermann who soon became a mole for him, Frauke giving him highly classified information into the BPD's work on Operation Festung which led Sergei to discover the identities of Vance and Paulsen.
It was also during this time that Sergei possibly discovered he was an uncle, his brother having a daughter and operating under the belief that Heidi should be a part of his family, no-one else's while ignoring the neglect she had suffered under her father, he began planning to kidnap her.
In October 2022, Sergei sent two masked man to Vance's home in D.C., the two presumably tasking with attacking Vance for information on the operation and then killing him but they underestimated him as Vance was able to kill his two attackers in self-defence.
A few days later, in Germany, Sergei struck again, this time attacking Paulsen and shooting her before fleeing the scene. Paulsen was ultimately hospitalized with her word "Festung" (German for fortress) reminding Vance of the operation they had worked on together six years ago.
With the help of NCIS Supervisory Special Agent Alden Parker, Vance investigated and met Paulsen's sister, Elisabeth Wenders who revealed that in the aftermath of the raid, Lena had found Heidi, a baby at the time hiding under a pile of dirty clothes and in a state of neglect which prompted Lena to adopt Heidi and raise her as her own daughter with Elisabeth presumably becoming Heidi's guardian due to Lena's work with the BPD.
When Sergei attacked once again, intending to abduct his niece, Parker having already shot dead Frauke after realizing she was working for Sergei helped Vance subdue or kill Sergei's henchmen while Vance personally apprehended Sergei, denying him the chance to kidnap his niece and flee while Elisabeth and Heidi sat in a room in the warehouse, Elisabeth presumably also shielding Heidi from the violence and gunfire occurring outside.
It's presumed that following the failure of his plan, Sergei was taken back to the prison he had originally escaped in and given a much heavier prison sentence while Heidi continues to live with Paulsen and Elisabeth.
