Rozlin "Domino" Helmsley

* UAR
* Dark Tower

**Rozlin Helmsley**, known by her enigmatic alias, **Domino**, is a ruthless assassin with a code of honor that sets her apart from the rest. Moreover, she is affiliated to the Dark Tower, a clan of mercenaries that operates in war for the highest bidder. Not to mention, when she wears her usual mercenary gear, that is when she is under the missions of the secretive contractor known as the UAR.

## Biography

### Background

Rozlin Denise Helmsley was born on April 12, 1982, in Radeynac, Porzingis. Her parents taught her to hunt and track animals as their way of life was similar to hers, which was to living in the woods away from big cities. Rozlin was bright enough to graduate with honors from an unknown school to a prestigious university, and she was then drafted as a reservist into the Panamoan Army. She does, however, intend to become a soldier, as she has demonstrated throughout her childhood by protecting those she trusts and fighting for what is right. The skills she learned in the wild prove to be a major advantage in the military.

It took a while for Rozlin to adjust on living in the urban city. She grew to love gothic and has a habit of wearing leather jackets and leggings, particularly those in black. Her attractive looks sometimes cause her trouble, but her tough attitude and the ability to defend herself allowed her to live comfortably.

### Military Career

Rozlin's time in the military revealed her exceptional combat skills, with a particular emphasis on marksmanship and infiltration. Her knack for sharpshooting and covert operations made her a valuable asset, although a tragic incident during *Operation Barbarossa* led to her disgrace and discharge from the army. Her friendship with the marine Nicholas "Wolffang" Lockett endured, and some speculate that she harbors deep feelings for him.

However, during Operation Barbarossa, a botched operation saw Rozlin shoot the wrong target when their mission was to eliminate a warlord known as Ramaza in the woodlands of Evalka, she ended up shooting the warlord's right hand man instead, which only made matters worse when the soldiers under her squad were killed, only to be discovered by the marines when she requested an evac. She was discharged from the Army after disgracing it with her actions.

### United Assassin Regiment's Finest

Disheartened by her military service and the incident that led to her discharge, Rozlin severed her ties with the army and embarked on a new path. Her skills caught the attention of the United Assassin Regiment (UAR), a firm that specializes in eliminating terrorists and high-value targets. She became a sought-after assassin, known for her precision and ruthless efficiency.

Assassinating a corrupt politician in the United Republic of Solari was one of her first contracts. It was an easy feat because she killed the target with a sniper at a distance of about one mile, then she managed to flee from the politician's private security agents, and the Solarian people praised her for the action, but Rozlin tells them to keep her involvement in the assassination a secret and to stop any further investigation into it. As time passes, she becomes a well-known assassin, eliminating evildoers all over the planet, including the dangerous city of Berlinazo in Evalka.

Rozlin's career took a harrowing turn when she was captured by Evalk scavengers while trapped in Berlinazo. She fought for her survival, battling both scavengers and rival PMCs. A gunshot wound to her abdomen left her on the brink of death, but her resourcefulness and determination allowed her to escape. She was eventually extracted by UAR operatives and nursed back to health.

And that was when Rozlin knew she can redeem herself in the battlefield.

### Dark Tower - A New Beginning

Following her near-death experience, Rozlin was approached by the Dark Tower, an international private security firm led by CEO Jonathan Zimmerman. Recognizing her as the ideal combination of skill and ruthless efficiency, she quickly rose through the ranks as an Elite Operative. The corporation deployed her to Razikstan, where she played a key role in preventing the fall of plutonium into enemy hands, a mission that solidified her reputation.

Rozlin established the Dark Tower's history when she deployed in Razikstan alongside fellow DT mercenaries in 2018, entrusted with preventing a supply of plutonium from falling into the enemy's hands. Rozlin was definitely upset, as seen by her rolled-up sleeves and fierce battling, but she still proved herself to be an effective sharpshooter. The operation was a clear success, but the Razikstani government almost discovered their existence, forcing the corporation to operate in the shadows following the successful mission, with her urging that they choose their area of operations cautiously to avoid attracting notice.

It has been revealed that she took advantage of the aftermath and used it to assassinate the insurgents from the previous operation, including eight of Ramaza's followers. Jonathan Zimmerman was able to discovered her actions which made her confront her, but after losing to her in a hand-to-hand fight and was stopped by Brock "Swole" Garrison from arguing, they allowed her to maintain her occupation as an Assassin. From now on, she operates under the codename **Domino**.

### Razikstan - An Assassin's Playground

Rozlin then deployed into modern-day Razikstan to observe the events that take place in the country, which has been effectively placed under martial law as a result of the Evalk General known as Vasily Kuznetsov. Though the Dark Tower mercenaries are overjoyed with her current success as she provides them with tonnes of intel, she asks them to stay behind, preferring to keep the firm mysterious in the country by just having one operative, which is her. Some say a few locals have found her and she was relied upon to infiltrate the regime, to which she did for the better good.

The Domino then proceeds to silently cut down the numbers of Kuznetsov's Army, and Vasily Kuznetsov has found her. She was captured for interrogation, but she quickly escaped and nearly discovered by the Razikstani Liberation Force, declaring her brief exposure as a "Foreign mysterious ally". During the entire Razik-Evalk War, she saw Nadia Farik as a leverage for the Panamoans to deploy their forces into the country. To enact her intentions, she has somehow received support from secretive members of the SCIA, all without the knowledge of Task Force 609 or even Sloane Duquesne himself.

### Capturing the RLF Leader

Rozlin slipped off the grid at some time during the *Razik-Evalk War*, even urging the Dark Tower not to contact her for a while since she intends to work beneath the radar to keep them from knowing about her frightening plans. Nadia Farik, who easily avoided the Razikstani Liberation Force, is unaware that she will be abducted to allow the Panamoan Republic to deploy forces into the country to assist her rebel group in fighting General Kuznetsov's army.

When she found Nadia Farik alone in the open desert, sightseeing her own country, Rozlin took the opportunity to gag her until she fell asleep and she soon made her sleep through a pill. As she entered a secret hideout in Razikstan, Rozlin took off the bike and placed her in a chair, but she did not tie her for some reason.

When Nadia awoke, she saw the black suited Rozlin standing in front of her, likely starting an interrogation.

## Personality

Rozlin is a ruthless assassin who only kills terrorists and evil people if she ever gets paid. As a result, she has a mean, cold and hard personality, with no tolerance on unprofessionalism or incompetence. However, this does not mean that she is outright a terrible person, as Rozlin has repeatedly risked her life to defend the innocents and is willing to fight an army, regardless if it consists of guns, blades or fists. As the war progresses, Rozlin expresses respect towards her comrades, showing doubt and reluctance upon realizing their plan will cause them to die too. This shows she cares for the people who trust her, and those he considers to be worthy teammates. Notably, the Dark Tower mercs respect her care and skill.

It is revealed in the file "Domino's Impact", however, that Rozlin was initially a more empathetic and compassionate soldier while serving under the Panamoan Army during previous conflicts that precede the events of *Iron Hammer: Modern Warfare*.
