"if hell is here, even the Devil goes hungry because here is not the law of hell, this here is the law of men"
- an unknown outlaw



Many, many years ago in the Russian Empire during the reign of Tsar Alexander II in the second half of the 19th century, but precisely in the former Tsaritsyn Oblast

On June 12, 1878, a woman named Marina Lagunov Łupków Petrov Kaminski was born, the first-born daughter of a war veteran Russian army captain who had recently fought in the Russo-Turkish war of 1877-1878 named Ivan Lagunov Petrov and an influential polish businesswoman from Warsaw called Aninnka Kaminski Łupków

She was the eldest daughter among her two brothers named Mikhail and Dmitri who were born after her in 1879 and 1881 respectively.

From an early age she and her brothers were educated by their parents to continue the family legacy, teaching things such as: economics, finance, speaking in other languages such as English, etc.

Some time later, for unknown reasons, in 1888, when she was 10 years old, she moved with her parents and siblings to New York City on a stretch of Broadway Avenue located in the Upper Manhattan neighborhood, NY - USA



Marina studied at the Horace Mann School in the West Bronx neighborhood of New York until 1896, when completed her studies at the age of 18.



And migrated to the South-Central USA where two years later she ended up getting involved in a mess that led to her being falsely accused by the true culprit of murdering Phillip LeClerc (husband of a rich woman) and sent to the Sisika penitentiary in the state of Louisiana being imprisoned for six months

A week before her execution, Marina was saved by Horley and two other men who intercepted the cart carrying her.
When she was freed by Horley she said:

- Thank you sir, for freeing me and by the way, who are you?

- You can call me Horley, My boss found out that you had been arrested because of Amos Lancing, the person who killed her husband and blamed you, on her orders I released you from this car for both her and you take revenge for what this monster did to both of them - Horley responds -

Marina followed him to a camp where they met Jessica LeClerk, the widowed wife of the man Marina was accused of murdering.

Jessica knows Marina is innocent and decides to work alongside them to catch the real culprits and avenge her husband.

Afterwards, Marina meets JB Cripps who helps establish their new wilderness camp, Horley instructs them to see Alden Carruthers at a post office and then visit Clay Davies to work alongside them.

Later, Horley and Jessica discover where the person who ordered the murder of her husband, Teddy Brown, is in Fort Mercer and fight the bad guys in ballistic armor until Teddy Brown himself shows up with his own set of ballistic armor.

After he is defeated, Jessica demands answers from Brown, who refuses to answer, which leads Jessica to kill him, avenging her husband.

A few days pass and Horley sends Marina a letter asking her to meet him and Jessica LeClerk at Quaker's Cove.

Once there, Jessica and Horley inform them that Amos Lancing asked them to meet him in Blackwater, however, the two are suspicious of his intentions so they ask Marina to accompany them and monitor the meeting.
