Nikita Garin

== CACG Operative File ==
=== Operative Background ===
Nikita Garin is an Elurian-born mercenary with former ties to various freedom fighter groups formed in the wake of the "Coup of 1991," an event in which Eluria's government was overthrown and thrust into an extremist nationalist regime for over a decade. His most popular alias, "The Shield," comes his reputation of putting his life on the line protecting innocents in combat, even taking bullets meant for them.
Eventually, Nikita ended up meeting Void prior to the formation of the Camelot Anomalous Containment Group. This meeting would eventually sprout into a friendship. This arrangement soon took shape as an apprenticeship, with Nikita mentoring Void on various skills required by operators and mercenaries.
=== Talents and Skills ===
Due to years operating in Eluria's wilderness, as well as a six-year stint waging guerilla war on the Elurian Regime of 1991, Nikita has acquired several skills related to survival, warfare, espionage, and more. By instinct, he can proficiently handle nearly any firearm that comes in his hands, as well as survive up to 17 months in the wilderness without access to civilization. Most importantly however, Nikita has proven extremely efficient in adapting his tactics on the fly to work with or around the environment, new technologies, and even anomalies.
=== Anomalous Properties ===
Nikita has openly admitted to lacking any true anomalous abilities, despite the great deal of time he spends around the anomalous. Various tests have confirmed this admission as well. However, somewhat like Dr. Lambert, Nikita has demonstrated a somewhat limited capacity to "recognize" anomalous objects, individuals, and phenomena in the field by just instinct alone. Like Lambert's instance, this has been thoroughly tested and proven in both field tests and controlled tests.__NOTOC__
