Bio[]
Early Life[]
Olga is the daughter of Sergei Gurlukovich and later became a member of his mercenary unit. Olga received training from the group, and later reached the position of unit commander before the events of the game. At some point during her career, she received a long scar across her face, but its unknown how she received it.
Sons of the Patriots[]
She takes over her father's private army after his death in the Tanker chapter, lending her team to the Sons of Liberty terrorist faction. She is shown to be at odds with Revolver Ocelot, blaming him for her father's death. She is actually an unwilling agent for the Patriots, who are holding her child hostage, and assists Raiden as a disguised Cyborg Ninja calling herself Mr. X. By doing so, she is betraying her comrades to ensure her child's safety, a realization that makes her feel guilty. After she reveals herself to Solidus, she is killed with a shot to the head.
Personality[]
Olga was driven to fight on the battlefield, having experienced it from a young age, and would remark that "conflict and victory" were her parents. She was very loyal to her unit, whom she considered family, wishing to stay and fight during the Tanker Incident despite her father ordering her to leave. However, her love for her child and willingness to protect it, resulted in her betraying her comrades during the Big Shell Incident, and ultimately her own death, due to the Patriots' machinations. Despite her communist background, however, she apparently held some religious views, as immediately before her death, she fully acknowledged that her (albeit forced) treachery towards her own mercenary group to their deaths will most likely result in her being cast into Hell in the afterlife.
Olga, when encountering Snake, treated him as a hostile largely because of his interference with the Gurlukovich Mercenaries' mission, although she nevertheless felt some degree of camaraderie to him for their mutual "nomad" natures after he admitted as much. During the events of the Big Shell Incident initially felt vengeful towards Solid Snake during the Big Shell Incident, believing him responsible for her father's death, until she learned the truth after confronting him.
