Rakuzanka, Kazimiera | RCT0027-A2057
HEIGHT=165 cm | WEIGHT=61 kg
DOB 1964.02.29
Born Kazimiera Koziol
in Gdansk, Poland. Her father and brothers worked
in the shipyards and she was active from an early
age in the movement that later become known as
Solidarnosc. In 1981 when she was 17 she was beaten
seriously enough by police to require hospitalization
and in 1982 she was arrested during a street demonstration
and spent the following year in jail. Upon her
release in 1983 she resumed activity in the Solidarity
underground while working odd jobs in and around
Gdansk. Married in 1986 to Andrzej Rakuzanka,
a fellow underground activist. With the shifting
of political winds in 1989 and the founding of
the Republic of Poland she was able once again
to make public her affiliation with Solidarity.
In 1990 she joined the reconstructed Gdansk police
force and quickly moved into undercover work to
battle the growing organized crime problem in
the newly liberated country. In 1993 she was recruited
by the Grupa Reagowania Operacyjno Mobilnego (GROM),
Poland's newly-formed counter-terrorist unit.
Initially she was involved purely in intelligence
gathering activities, but in 1994 when her unit
took part in Operation Restore Democracy, the
American-led invasion of Haiti, she was promoted
to full-fledged CT operator. In 1998 she lead
her first assault team, and has since cross-trained
with the U.S. "Delta Force", Norway's
Beredskapstroppen, and Finland's Osasto Karhu.
Her husband and two daughters reside in Gdansk.
Rakuzanka is a survivor. Despite her unassuming
appearance she has an iron consititution and is
capable of enduring extreme hardship. She is a
strong team player and an excellent shot. She
has a sarcastic way of speaking but always reserves
her sharpest barbs for the rich and powerful.
She is called "Kazi" by friends and
family, and "Kamikazi" by her colleagues,
although never to her face.

with a B.S. in Physics. After a stint as an engineer
with the Swedish semiconductor giant Microelektronik

force as an expert on electronic surveillance. In
1994 she was recruited into Ordningspolisens Nationella
Insatsstyrka (ONI), the national rescue unit of
the Stockholm Police Department. From 1997 to 1999
she led ONI intelligence and surveillance teams
in over a dozen different counter-terrorist actions,
including the high-profile 1998 Red Cell occupation
of the trading floor of the Stockholm futures exchange.
Unmarried. Lofquist is an electronics genius. Her
name is on 14 different patents held by Microe lektronik,
her old employer, and she continues to consult with
their engineers while serving as a member of the
RAINBOW team. Most of her innovations have been
in the area of electronic eavesdropping. She is
extremely confident and courageous, although at
times her lack of military training can lead her

as a CT operator.He is well-known in the CT community,
particularly in North and South America, and has
a reputation as a stern taskmaster. Although he
has conducted actions in a wide variety of terrains
and circumstances, he is particularly proficient
in jungle operations and long-range intelligence
gathering. In combat situations he is extremely
aggressive and he expects the same from any team
that serves under him. He has no sense of humor
and considers it unprofessional in others. His
only passion in life (aside from his work and
his family) is classical music and opera.

Karl Haider | RCT0007-A3709
HEIGHT=196 cm | WEIGHT=117 kg
DOB 1975.09.10
Born in Graz, Austria.
Father is a petroleum distributor, mother a homemaker.
Two siblings, a brother and a sister, both still
in school. Joined the regular Austrian army in 1992.
Transferred to Gendarmerieeinsatzkommando Cobra
(GEK Cobra) in 1996. Trained with both Germany's
GSG-9 and Israel's Sayeret Mat'Kal. Participated
in GEK Cobra raid on Deissenmayr GmbH headquarters
in Vienna in 1998 and was credited with single-handedly
saving the lives of seven hostages. Married 1999,
no children. In combat situations Karl is unstoppable.
He is extremely aggressive and will not hesitate
to use whatever methods are necessary to complete
his mission. He is fanatical about protecting the
lives of hostages and innocent bystanders, even
to the point of jeopardizing his own life. Off the
job he is soft-spoken and private, but has an iron
determination.
|
Pak Suo-Won | RCT0031-A1044
HEIGHT=159 cm | WEIGHT=45 kg
DOB 1973.12.12
Born in Kangnung, South
Korea. Pak is a member of a large family of fishermen;
he has four brothers and three sisters. He entered
the South Korean army at the youngest age he could,
so long as he would not have to serve on a boat,
ever again. Despite (or perhaps because of) his
slight build, Pak developed a reputation for physical
prowess, particularly endurance. He was accepted
into the 707th Special Mission Battalion, making
battalion history by being the only inductee to
exceed every one of the punishing physical tests
exacted upon the battalion during training. He
built his reputation up further by succeeding
at lengthy solo infiltration missions behind North
Korean lines, often in disguise for extended periods
of time. Pak is cheerful and optimistic at all
times. While Recon operatives are not used in
all missions, Pak manages to be in the center
of the planning and discussion stages all the
same.

Kure Galanos | RCT0031-A1044
HEIGHT=167 cm | WEIGHT=58 kg
DOB 1975.07.25
Born in Nicosia, Cyprus.
Galanos was thrust into the ethnic tensions on Cyprus
from an early age, when her family lost their homes
during widespread clashes between Turkish and Greek
rioters. The Galanos family, while never physically
harmed by the tensions, continued to suffer difficult
times for many years due to the unrest. Eventually
they fled the city, and Galanos' father, an ex-ELDYK
sniper, taught her his trade in extended hunting
trips through the center of the island. Galanos
attempted to join the Greek MYK force, but was denied
due to her gender. Instead, she joined the civilian
police force and quickly rose to prominence as a
sniper with a reputation for precise shooting in
less than optimal conditions. Galanos is, at
times, a sheer force of nature. What she cannot
achieve by skill alone, she often completes by force
of will. Teammates often claim her piercing gaze
does more damage than her bullets. She displays
no antipathy towards Turks, or indeed any other
nationality or criminal. She treats assignments
as problems to be solved, and solves them with a
single, clean trigger pull. |
Jamal Murad | RCT-0031-A1044
HEIGHT=170 cm | WEIGHT=74 kg
DOB 1971.04.03
Born in Bani Suwayf,
Egypt. Murad is the son of an influential moderate
Muslim cleric, and grew up learning a great deal
about both the religious and secular worlds. To
the dismay of his pacifistic parents, Murad joined
the Egyptian armed forces rather than continue
his scholarship. Privately upset by the reputation
of Egypt's Unit 777, Murad set out to change the
organization from within. His contacts with US,
British and German training units convinced him
there was a better way, but that Egypt would not
be taking that path soon enough for him. His exceptional
skills, both linguistic and military, landed him
a frequent cross training position with the SAS,
where he came to the attention of RAINBOW. In
combat, Murad is a swift and lethal presence.
Once he has committed a plan to memory, nothing
stand in his way to accomplish that plan. Prior
to the mission, Murad questions every detail of
every plan, often infuriating the planning officers
but ensuring that every possible consequence and
complication havebeen well thought out. His insistence
that there is a Right Way has won him many admirers,
if few friends.

Arkadi Novikov | RCT0031-A1044
HEIGHT=201 cm | WEIGHT=125 kg
DOB 1966.05.24
Born in Minsk, in what is now Belarus.
Novikov is the son of a career army officer; his
family is politically very well connected, and has
made the transition from the USSR to the CIS very
well indeed. Novikov enjoyed the finest education
and living standard available, including an engineering
degree from the University of Moscow. He spurned
the regular army to take a prized field position
in the enforcement arm of the KGB, only to find
it disintegrating beneath him. When his co-workers
joined the forming Russian Mafias, Novikov left
the city to return to Minsk where the newly independent
Belarus army offered him a chance to lead a CT team
of his own creation. A series of low profile but
well-planned and executed missions brought him to
the attention of RAINBOW, which Novikov gladly joined.
Novikov combines the broad build of the Russian
athlete with an incisive mind and stern leadership.
He is capable of working much higher in the organization,
but prefers field duty, even if it means taking
more orders than he gives. Other team members feel
comfortable with Novikov in charge, as his personal
bravery combines with sharp planning to virtually
guarantee success.

Alain DuBarry | RCT0013-A5436
HEIGHT=174 cm | WEIGHT=66 kg
DOB 1967.09.27
Born in Chantilly, France. Father
is a manuscript curator at a local museum, mother
is a journalist. Four sisters and two brothers.
Second oldest sister is a prominent professor of
mathematics at the University of Paris. Attended
the Ecole Supérieure d'Ingénieurs
en Electrotechnique et Electronique (ESIEE) in Paris,
1984-89. Graduated with a degree in electronics
engineering and computer science. Joined the Gendarmerie
Nationale in 1990 as an officer in their computer
crime division. Instrumental in thwarting a 1994
attempt by a group of Algerian nationals to bring
down the French Minitel computer network using a
virus spread by telephone switching software. In
1996 he was recuited by the Groupe d'Intervention
Gendarmerie Nationale (GIGN), France's elite counter-terrorist
unit, as a specialist in telephony and electronic
surveillance. Unmarried. DuBarry is an expert on
computers and computer nets as well as more conventional
forms of surveillance. Although his role in CT actions
is usually intelligence gathering and communications,
as a veteran of GIGN's extensive combat training
he is fully qualified to participate in armed operations.
Introverted and thoughtful, and an excellent tactician,
he often makes connections that other team members
miss. Off-duty he is an avid amateur scuba diver
and is an officer in the Confédération
Mondiale des Activités Subaquatiques (CMAS).

Genedy Filatov | RCT0069-A1772

response to the failed Soviet coup. Director of
operations for private security firm, 1991-96. Returned
to "Alfa" during its 1997 restructuring
under the Russian Federal Security Service. Married,
no children. Filatov is a solid counter-terrorism
operative. Although his training and background
are unorthodox by western standards, he has a wealth
of real-world experience from his years in the security
forces of the former Soviet Union, and numerous
contacts across eastern Europe and Asia. His steady
nerves and methodical approach to any threat make
him a particularly valuable asset in combat situations.
Team commanders should not be misled by his world-weary
manner; he is not a pessimist but a realist, and
he prides himself on being the voice of reason and
conservatism in any debate.
