Given Name: Polina Middle Name: Borisovna Surname: Petrova Nationality: Soviet Union/Russia Sex: Female Height: 5"2 Age: 28 Birth: November 13, 1917 at Tsaritsyn, Soviet Union. Hometown: Stalingrad Ethnicity: Slavic Hair: Brown, Mid-Length, Twin Braids Eyes: Dark Hazel Occupation: Sniper Unit: Task Force Vanguard [Biography] Born and raised in Stalingrad, Polina Petrova is a soldier not by choice, but by a need to defend her country. Stalingrad was her childhood home, one where she lived many happy memories, including hunting with her father and brother. Although she lost her mother a decade prior to the war, her reality was even more impacted by the brutal Axis invasion of Operation Barbarossa. Using the sharpshooting skills, she learned from her family, Petrova’s story is one of vengeance and retribution for all that she and her community lost. Polina is a woman of few words, but when she speaks, it is with purpose and often leaves a powerful impact. She’s content in her own company, only opening up to those she trusts and respects deeply with sharp and educated wit. Although she barely shares what is on her mind, her actions speak for her opinions. Often, she takes matters into her own hands and never waits for anyone else, especially when her thirst for vengeance takes over and puts her in a blind rage. Whether by words or action, Polina is driven by a desire to see her home free from Nazi invaders, and she is not afraid to put this personal pursuit above her duties. [Story] Life in Stalingrad She was initially put into a medical unit, instead of being a sniper. Boris told her and her brother Misha to have breakfast with him. Afterwards, she carried molotovs to where Misha is, and afterwards, she goes to the rooftop to report on her duty. She arrived to where her station when the Nazis air raided their camp, prompting her to return to their home. She returned to the house after encountering Germans, taking her dad's rifle. She saw her dad executed by the Germans and fought her way to the site. She then tried to find Misha, rescuing him and a handful of new recruits about to be executed by the Germans. She provided a distraction, allowing Misha and the others to secure the tunnels. Five months later, the siblings scout through the area, but they encountered Germans under Leo Steiner. The duo fought through them until they reached the position. But a sniper wounded her brother, and the latter sacrificed himself to distract the enemies. She snuck her way, up to where Steiner was. She fought the Nazi officer's elite troops, including assault snipers. She played a cat and mouse game with Steiner, then mortally wounding him. They ended up on the rooftop, which she stabbed Steiner. She took a note referring to Hermann Freisinger, then threw him off the roof, landing the corpse near the Nazis. Joining Vanguard In 1944, Polina was assigned by the Red Army to station at Wilczek Land, to eliminate any Nazi threat in the area. Eventually, she was approached by Captain Carver Butcher, who wished to recruit her into his own special forces team. Initially, she was wary of his appearance, but agreed to listen to his offer. The two worked together to take down a Nazi convoy and lure out its commander, and Butcher promised her with a chance to get her revenge by joining up, rather than staying and picking on the grunts. She agreed, on the condition that Butcher never attempts to threaten her with a weapon. Some times later, Polina was present with Butcher, alongside other task force recruits: Wade Jackson, Lucas Riggs, and Milos Novak, as Butcher attempts to secure the team leader, Arthur Kingsley. With Kingsley recruited, alongside his right-hand man Richard Webb, the task force later known as Vanguard would be assigned their first mission. Project Phoenix On their first mission as a team, Task Force Vanguard is ordered to retrieve intelligence regarding Project Phoenix, a secret Nazi program run by Freisinger. They hijacked a train heading to Hamburg, eventually leading them to a submarine base where they find the intel being kept hidden. However, the task force was captured, and Novak was brutally murdered by Freisinger on site, while the others (minus Jackson) are delivered to the Gestapo headquarters in Berlin. Jackson is eventually captured after attempting to steal a plane at Tempelhof Airport, while Webbs is executed by Gestapo officer Jannick Richter in an attempt to demoralize Kingsley and the others. While under captive, Polina was eventually interrogated by Richter, who attempted to learn more about the nature of Project Phoenix, which he was unaware of. Polina recounted her journey leading to Steiner's death, leading Richter to question his connection to Freisinger. Later, while Richter interrogates Riggs, the latter manages to break free and subdue Richter, then free the squad. Kingsley stabbed Richter with Polina's knife, which she later retrieved, leaving him to bleed out. The four members of Task Force Vanguard then pursued Freisinger to Tempelhof and apprehended him. When Freisinger attempted to insult Polina, she bashed her rifle on him, then stabbed a fuel drum, dousing him with gasoline. Either Polina burns Freisinger alive on her own, or she does it with Kingsley. The team entered Freisinger's plane, where they discovered evidence of Nazi projects including V2 launch sites, Project Nova, and locations of other projects. [Additional Information] Polina's hobbies include playing the piano and hunting. Polina is credited with 300 recorded kills prior to joining Task Force Vanguard [Task Force Vanguard Information] The Task Force Vanguard, officially known as Special Operations Task Force 001, or Task Force One, is a military unit featured in Call of Duty: Vanguard.
