Katerina Frostonova is the H.A.M.M.E.R. Super Agent.
Background[]
It takes a cold heart to kill in cold blood and Katerina Frostonova has only ice where her heart should be.
Katerina Frostonova has been trained and molded by her masters at H.A.M.M.E.R. from an early age. As a toddler she witnessed her parents being gunned down as dissidents in a bungled KGB raid, and so it was her fate to be schooled at the Soviet State Orphanage for Heroes of the Republic. This academy, notorious for creating a long line of deadly assassins, only takes on pupils during their early childhood. Frostonova fitted in like a well-tailored opera glove, exceling in all her classes, and it soon became apparent that she had the necessary detachment from normal human emotions to carry out certain less than savory duties. She has since gone on to become the greatest living assassin and the finest agent in the H.A.M.M.E.R. arsenal.
Overview[]
Katerina Frostonova behaves like a Soldier and an Investigator. She will attack Military Minions on sight while generally ignoring Social Minions and Science Minions. She will try to gather incriminating evidence to raise up your heat with H.A.M.M.E.R. and will also steal loot items or gold from the Strongroom if given the chance.
Her special ability is Cold Assassin, where she can maneuver through the base's security systems undetected and instantly kills a target of her choice, which can be dangerous if the target happens to be a henchmen or even the Evil Genius themselves! What's worse, Katerina is immune to all health and endurance attacks while it is active! (Fortunately, this does not protect her from loyalty, smarts, or attention damage from social minions) Generally, this ability becomes active as soon as she arrives on the island but she will only use it once per visit.
Like other Super Agents, Katerina will not die when her health is reduced to 0; she will instead be unconscious (similar to henchmen) and eventually awaken and leave the island, possibly bringing along some heat if she was attacked beforehand or had gathered enough evidence.
The only way to remove Katerina from the game is through an optional objective which is available at the second island.
Trivia[]
