Olga Gurlukovich

Daughter of Sergei Gurlukovich, the Russian colonel who had dealings with Liquid Snake during the Shadow Moses incident, Olga is a soldier set on proving her worth to her father and her comrades. While infiltrating an oil tanker carrying Metal Gear RAY, Snake encounters a pregnant Olga on the rain-drenched deck of the ship. She is knocked out in the ensuing battle, only to return years later as Metal Gear Solid 2's cyborg ninja. It is later revealed that her actions are being manipulated by world dominator wannabees (and baby kidnappers), The Patriots.

Special abilities: For a Metal Gear Solid boss, Olga isn't particularly gifted. Her tactics are mainly confined to shooting at Snake and distracting him with unsightly and unexpected underarm hair.

Weaknesses: As she relies on the environment to shield her movements (see: bright lights and flapping tarps), some well placed shots can quickly expose her. A few more well placed shots, and she'll be out cold.

Trivia: Olga is the first and only boss Snake battles in Metal Gear Solid 2.
