Theta in Tactical Uniform

"*I've found there are two people in this world. People who like to talk, and people who should.*"
― **Theta on her Interrogations**
**Catherine Kulik** (Екатерина Кулик), codename **Theta** (Тета) is one of the operatives of Chariot team.

## Profile

Theta's life began in Kuzhenkino, Russia to the most famous woman in the modern history of the country, Roza "Omega" Kulik while she was still under contract for Wagner PMC. And thus she was somewhat adopted by the military company, often spending most of her time in the Commander's Tent with her mother. With very little to do inside said tent, Theta often busied herself with reading whatever she could get her hands on. As she grew older, she began to assist her mother in applying the knowledge of those books, helping ensure personnel and equipment was up to a war-ready standard, leading Omega's unit to be the best armed and equipped unit in all of Wagner. It was also here she was taught critical investigative skills by her mother and how to properly perform an interrogation in the traditional Russian way.

Theta was cut up during the Damascus Massacre after NSS mercenaries cornered her and her sister in a school house. To save Zeta, Theta single handily fought the mercenaries, resulting in a very one sided confrontation that left her very heavily scarred, mentally and physically.

Theta's service in the Russian army was filled with controversies and conspiracies. She went in through the officer's academy thanks to her mother's service and graduated top of her class. That was the end of the good times, however, as during her first assignment, she unveiled the embezzlement scheme of her commanding officer. From there she was ruthless in her anti-corruption efforts, causing her to be transferred all over the Federation and even a couple of FSB attempts on her life, all of which failing and Theta growing quite a negative opinion about the organization. Eventually, she was administratively separated from the Russian Army for 'Conduct Unbecoming of an Officer'.

Wagner picked her up almost immediately afterwards and once again she was serving under her mother's command structure. It was here she refined her interrogation techniques and continued to keep the supplies flowing from the Federation to the PMC to the regiment.

She was originally rejected from joining Chariot Team with her mother and sister because her skills were in logistics and interrogation which were not seen as useful. Theta responded to this by sneaking into Samuel's private quarters and 'convincing' him to let her in.

## Appearance

Theta is shorter than average with a below average chest and green eyes that tend to be curled into a smirk. She is slightly toned from physical training as well.

## Personality

Theta's a sharp, perceptive young woman with a self-confidence that boils over to the point of arrogance. She is a highly sarcastic individual that tends to be condescending to people she doesn't respect, using hard hitting jabs with information and insults custom made for her target. She does have a bit of a psychosis when it comes to interrogations however and how she's a little *too* enthusiastic about making people break.

## Relationships

* Theta is very close to Omega, being her mother and having spend most of her life as her right hand. Though their opinions do vary on certain things, it's very clear that Theta loves her mother deeply and will go out of her way to make her proud.
* Theta and Zeta are sisters with the latter finding it to be her personal mission to protect Theta from harm. While Theta does find it annoying to be the 'little sister' (despite being older than Zeta), she does appreciate and love Zeta back, returning the favour of protection. Though she's nowhere near as vocal about it.
* Sigma and Theta have a tense friendship, with one being Ukrainian and the other being Russian. They ultimately ended up bonding over a shared dislike for the Russian army, Sigma for their actions in Crimea and the Donbas and Theta because there's hardly an honest man in the whole rotten structure.
* Volcano and Theta are a highly unlikely friendship with Volcano being someone Theta would find annoying on a regular basis. Their friendship started out as a mutual hatred of Dauphine and simply continued to grow from there, with Volcano getting Theta to be a little bit nicer and introducing her to football.
* Pike is quiet, which Theta values and thus spends a fair bit of time around her when she needs to 'get away from the stupidity'.
* Theta considers Supernova to be her best friend as they both share in a sense of duty and a thirst for knowledge. They can often be seen hanging out together alongside Pike.
* Theta holds a lot of respect for Hydra seeing as she sees her as a highly competent and goal oriented individual. That being said, their relationship can be tense as Hydra receives numerous complaints about Theta and Theta often takes issue with Hydra defending incompetence.
* Theta's not the biggest fan of Krasota, having the belief that she should have stayed in the media industry and not become a soldier. She often has a snide remark about Krasota's looks, mostly pointing out flaws or, if she can detect none, telling her that she spends more time in the mirror than she does in combat. This does not boil over well and causes some decent friction between the two.
* Theta doesn't hate Muk & Bir despite her actions showing otherwise. She has a strong belief that the two should not be anywhere near Chariot Team, especially since they do not have prior military experience and neither are old enough to drink. While neither of the two like her and are indeed afraid of her, Theta spends most of her time making sure that they are in the safest they can possibly be.
* Samuel and Theta have a mutual loathing for each other. This stems from the fact that Theta does not approve of a fair few of Samuel's picks for the team, seeing certain acquisitions as 'unfit for soldiering', being as they are too young or too amorous for the work that they're supposed to be doing.
* Theta absolutely hates Dauphiné. The two are often found snapping at each other, with Theta constantly making remarks about Dauphiné's affairs which agitates Dauphiné to no end.
