Galena Golovin

## Background

### 1990 - 2016: Galena Golovin

Galena Golovin is an enigma. Most of the information known about her comes from the fact that she was formerly in the Winter Olympics for the Biathlon, which she won a Gold Medal for in 2010. Unfortunately, she was accused of being one of the Russians that participated in a state-run doping program. Word to the wise, do not bring this up to Galena as she will either ignore you or curse you out.

After winning the Olympics, Galena entered into the Russian military & became involved with special forces known as Spetsnaz GRU. The unit conducted numerous special operations, counter-terrorism efforts, special reconnaissance & military intelligence gathering. Like most members of the Spetsnaz GRU, Galena's actions during her time with them are unknown & cannot be verified. She eventually parted ways with them in 2015.

Galena was recruited by Special Agent Ben Santini to join the Stormwatch based on her past work with special forces. It did take a little convincing as Galena had chosen to leave the part of her life behind but she agreed to join nonetheless.

When Galena was transported up to Skywatch, she was shocked to find that the other newbie was none another than a previous tryst she had when a few weeks prior during an assignment. Though the two only had that one encounter together, they soon learned that they not only had to work together but that he was also her spotter.

As Stormwatch has continued to be active international, Galena & Charles have entered into a full blown relationship. The two take turns between sniper & spotter, being the go-to duo for Stomrwatch. The sniper team has been very successful, seeing as they managed to sruvive all engagements.
