Background

A former Ukrainian SSU agent, Anna Shevchenko retired and put her skills to use in MET-2000, a well-known mercenary organization. After a year of service, her skills were put to better use in the intelligence subsidiary agency IFMU. During one of their operations in the Russian Federation, Anna along with several others were captured by the GRU. While she managed to avoid giving away critical intelligence due to timely memory wipes and operational security, her involvement in 'espionage' and 'high treason' against Russia and her people was plenty of reason to imprison her for life in a high security prison facility. A long career of beta and alphaware augmentations were removed and sold on the market for reasonable profits and she was tossed as a scarred mess into a cell, the key tossed away.

That's how she would've remained due to IFMU falling apart while she was in the slammer. MET-2000 hired back some of the remnants of IFMU after the smaller corporation fell apart and rescued her and her squadmates, more to cover their own asses in case any of them began to collaborate for a shot at freedom. They outsourced the Matrix part of the job to Zero Day, a cybercombat-specialized PMC. Their hard work allowed for Anna to be extracted from the Russian Federation and to clear the entire squad's trail, their files and likeness was thoroughly purged from the Matrix, physical copies of her file at the prison burned.

Without her ware, however, and pushing forty soon enough, she was in no condition to return to service, not when the Aztlan-Amazonian War was looming in the horizon and looking incredibly profitable. It was a fortunate thing that she was discharged from service, since it was the war in Amazonia that would be the downfall of MET-2000, causing horrific casualties to the company. Anna wandered elsewhere, thinking of picking up shadowrunning as a solo mercenary. There, no exact legislations existed. Even in her ruined body, maybe she could do something to earn a wage and start from scratch all over again. She was old. She wouldn't be obsolete.

Bolt saw a kindred spirit in her. A retired soldier not yet ready to put the rifle down. The two forged a strong bond and so Veles joined the ranks of the Monolith. A soldier was home in the barracks again, surrounded by brothers, not strangers. Civilian life was something she wasn't cut out for, anyway.

Significant Things for Narrative

  • Living Ghost (Blandness, Erased) - Veles does not exist in any official capacity. Less than SINless, there's no trace of her in any record. She could be anyone. She can be anyone.
  • Monolithian (Soldier's Code, Candle In The Darkness) - Despite being a Redmond ganger, Anna stands by worn and true creeds. That makes her a reliable agent to do business with.
