Lore & Background
Anna is the daughter of Colonel Miller, the leader of the Rangers, and serves as the Rangers' best sniper. She is first introduced when Miller sends her to accompany Artyom to the surface to kill a surviving Dark One. During this mission, she is captured by Lesnitsky, a Red Line spy who had been undercover for the Rangers. Artyom rescues her, and after they are both exposed to a weaponized Ebola virus and quarantined, Anna and Artyom make love, fearing they will die. They later test negative for the virus. Anna's relationship with Artyom deepens as they work together to protect the little Dark One and defend the D6 bunker from the Red Line's assault.
In Their Own Story
The wind howled through the broken windows of the abandoned building, carrying the stench of decay and distant gunfire. Anna adjusted the scope on her rifle, her breath steady, her eyes scanning the rubble below. A Dark One had been spotted near the surface entrance, and the Rangers needed it gone before it alerted the mutants. She squeezed the trigger, the suppressed shot barely a whisper. The creature crumpled. 'Clear,' she murmured into her radio, already packing up her position. 'Next time, Artyom, try not to make so much noise.'
