Agency Profile: Natalya Gryzunova

Name: Natalya "White Fox" Gryzunova
Job: Volk Chief Training Coordinator
Likes: Long walks on the backs of others, warm stabbings
Dislikes: Blood on the good furniture, brunettes

Natalya "White Fox" Gryzunova rose to power through a combination of ruthless charm and strategic seduction. She knows how to get men to follow her commands, and she has exploited that ability to the fullest extent possible.

Thanks to her considerable powers of persuasion, Natalya became an almost unstoppable force, bending troops to her will. Her talents were rewarded handsomely, and Volk kingpin Vladmir Golyak quickly promoted her to head up all training operations for the Volk. In her private training ground, recruits are pushed hard, and the ones that survive come out both tough and obedient. The ones that disappoint Natalya find that "Hell hath no fury" to equal her wrath. Her temper is as legendary as it is deadly.

FOX HOLES

Gryzunova now commands the mindless but dependable brute squads that maintain order in the Den. Although she personally prepares her recruits at her base of operations in the Pacific City Observatory on the north point of the Den, she can also be found where trouble thrives: typically in the black market area to the south of the Den.

FOX HUNTING

The Observatory can be tricky to locate. When you're looking at the map of the Den, you should be able to pick out its location on the north tip of the island, directly between the two bridges that head north to Shai-Gen territory. The hideout is best approached through the rocky territory to the south, or by scaling the cliff to the west of the building. If you charge in the front door, expect the action to be hot—you’ll be taking fire from a large number of gang members on the observatory grounds, as well as the surrounding hills. Try to claim the high ground, and keep some cover handy for regenerating your armor periodically. You’ll find Gryzunova on the outside of the observatory; send her your regards by Rocket Mail.

OUT "FOXED"

Gryzunova is a tricky foe, however, and also something of a fashion plate. For those reasons she sometimes will be encountered in a shopping center located directly to the west of the supply point at Maxim's Arch, which provides a perfect place from which to launch an assault. If you have the grenade launcher, find a position above the lip of the center and lob explosives down at Gryzunova until she’s had her fill. The grenade launcher: when you care enough to send the very best.

Good luck, Agent.
