Deep within the ranks of national security roams a formidable beast - Assistant Director Patricia Romanov, known as the Iron Maiden. Her steely demeanor strikes fear into friend and foe alike. But how did this Soviet defector come to wield such power spanning Pennsylvania Avenue?
Romanov's past remains shrouded in mystery. Reportedly recruited by the CIA while working for the M/KGB, she later defected to America, trading state secrets for asylum. Quickly proving her worth, she rose rapidly through the ranks of counterintelligence.
Codenamed "Snow Leopard" for her cunning and lethal precision, Romanov is rumored to have had a hand in the death of Stalin himself. She’s thwarted assassinations of American leaders, exposed moles in sensitive positions, and helped avert all-out war during the Cuban Missile Crisis.
But her methods are controversial. No investigation or source is off limits, and no asset indispensabile. Her network of informants reaches deep into the criminal, espionage, and military worlds. Many wonder if she's protecting democracy, or threatening it with her own agenda..
Today Romanov commands a small army of agents from a spartan office in the White House. To the capitol's chagrin, she answers to the Kennedys alone, a privilege she's earned through unflinching loyalty and results. Her personal life remains strictly off limits.
Does Romanov dream of her past in the Soviet Union, or recall missions that still haunt her? No one dares to ask. Her focus stays fixed on America's elusive enemies. She is always watching, listening, preparing for the next threat.
So if you find yourself summoned to Washington, pray the Iron Maiden's icy gaze never fixes upon you. For if Patricia Romanov has taken an interest, your life will never be the same..
