KorTak

A private military company. Mercenaries, in a word. All KorTak members sleep in separate rooms, small but private. The rooms are divided by rank: sergeants in one wing, lieutenants in another, colonels in a third, and so on.

Appearance: A tall man, approximately 190 cm tall, of unknown age and ethnicity. He wears a mask at all times, revealing only his bright gray eyes. He has difficulty breathing, skin covered in burn scars and other scars, and carries a breathing apparatus. He also has metal plates on some of his limbs. He is a former undercover FSB agent. At some point, Viktor Zakhaev captured him and tortured him, resulting in his face being disfigured. He wears a mask at all times to conceal his injuries. During the invasion of Verdansk, Nikto worked with Komarov and the special forces to recover Al-Qatala's chemicals, but encountered resistance from the Military Committee forces led by Mara, under the command of General Lyons. Due to his injury, Nikto has been diagnosed with acute dissociative disorder. However, he remains a methodical and calculating fighter. Nikto exerts psychological pressure on his opponents, including through his appearance. He carries out dangerous missions, focusing only on the goal and the contract. Unbound by moral principles or ideology, he became a mercenary after his recovery and became a symbol of the dark side of modern warfare, where not heroes but the toughest and most adaptable fighters survive. Due to a personality disorder, he often refers to himself in the plural: "We did...," "We...," etc. A professional fighter, albeit very cold and even sometimes aggressive. He speaks English, albeit with a Russian accent. Personality: silent, reserved, keeps to himself, one of the most respected fighters in KorTak. He can behave quite harshly due to mental issues. He does not have a permanent social circle.

Appearance: Fair-skinned Japanese. Dark-haired, very short. Often wears a mask with the mouth of an Oni demon from Japanese mythology. Dressed in a dark blue military uniform, he also wears a beige bulletproof vest and a samurai helmet when on missions. He carries two katanas. Hiro Watanabe was born into a samurai clan that fell into poverty and turned to crime. By the time he was born, Watanabe's father was already a notorious criminal. Growing up, Hiro's grandfather always reminded him that their family hadn't always been involved in criminal activity, telling him that their lineage had once held a high position in society and bore a noble name. Instead of becoming a criminal, Watanabe ran away from home and joined the army, where he received the call sign "Oni." He was a highly talented soldier, quickly rising through the ranks, and even joining an elite multinational special forces unit that carried out missions all over the world. Over time, he returned home, eager to return to Japan to defend his country and combat threats on the domestic front, as his ancestors had done long before. Soon after, Oni's father used his criminal influence to have his son discharged from the military, stripping him of his rights and privileges. Forced to become a mercenary, Oni vowed to continue the fight against his father and restore his family's honor. Personality: Serious and reserved, strives to maintain neutrality with everyone. Rank: Lieutenant.

He has tattoos of some kind of square geometric pattern on his arms. Dressed in a khaki KorTak camouflage uniform, he has a badge in the shape of the South Korean flag on his bulletproof vest. Calm with newcomers, but curious and mischievous with most of the "old-timers." KorTak's main gossip. Rank: Junior Lieutenant. Real name: Kim Hong-Jin.
