Dominika was born to Alena and Havel Hlavin. Havel’s father had been a wealthy landowner who, despite being able to afford an education for Havel, had been unable to rise through the social hierarchy of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. It was because of this that Havel was married to Alena, the daughter of an old aristocratic family who had lost their wealth through gambling debts. In 1932 Havel was elected into the Czechoslovakian government, able to use his wife’s ancestry and his family’s money to finally gain power for the Hlavin family. When Havel and Alena discovered that they were pregnant it looked as if all their dreams were coming true. A few months later, however, the Germans invaded Czechoslovakia, and Havel was removed from his position in Parliament. He had hoped once the war was over he would be able to regain his position in Parliament, but his democratic past made this impossible under the strict rule of the USSR. Instead he began lecturing at a university.
Dominika did very well in school, and her father quickly noticed that she had inherited his people skills. She always seemed to benefit from the drama she created around herself, yet never appeared to fall out with anyone. Havel saw in his daughter a chance to rejoin politics within Czechoslovakia, and quickly began training her to eventually join the government. She graduated high school in 1951 and due to the new focus in the Soviet education system on the sciences, went on to study mathematics at university - a subject she had excelled in. When she graduated, her father managed to get her a job with the KSC in the Ministry of Education. Due to her gender she was unable to stand for election, nor take a public role in the government, but she did succeed in making many connections within the KSC, and soon was a necessary ally for anyone who wished to progress through the party, ruling the closed door meetings which saw members of the party rise and then fall from power.
The economic disaster of the 1960s and the death of her father led Dominika to grow bitter of the Soviet controlled system which she was a part of. She was also aware that her power within the KSC was limited by the inherent corruption and control from the USSR. It was during this time she was approached by politician Alexander Dubček, who told her of his plans to create a freer Czechoslovakia. Impressed by his ideas and plans for the country, she saw a future political system in which she could play a much more active role in the Government.
In January 1968 Dubček was elected to power. For a few months the KSC was successful in implementing more right wing policies, decreasing censorship and Soviet control, however, this all came crashing down on the 20th of August, when the Warsaw Pact nations invaded. Dominika’s mother was killed and the government dismantled around her. Dominika was in danger of either being killed or arrested herself, and began desperately trying to disconnect herself from Dubček and his associates. On the 23rd of August when the final US citizens were being evacuated from Czechoslovakia, Dominika was approached by a KGB agent - the Russians had been tracking Dominika’s actions for a while, and identified her as a highly skilled, intelligent woman, who worked completely in her own self interest - and offered to smuggle her out of the Eastern Bloc in return for her compliance in the future. She accepted immediately.
By the 24th of August Dominika had disappeared, and in her place was West German citizen and mathematics student Anja Schmitz. She remained in West Germany for only a couple of days before a file arrived on her desk. Inside was a passport, plane ticket, and a job advertisement. She arrived in New York, and made her way to the offices of Ralphio Kowalski where she received the position as his new assistant. Once a week Hlavin leaves a small envelope of information in a local diner, which is picked up by a KGB agent, and delivered back to the USSR.
Extremely manipulative, strong understanding of the process of lobbying for votes and support. Is also very good at uncovering people’s weaknesses and ambitions and using them to her own advantage.
Very talented mathematician with an above average IQ. Speaks fluent Czech, German, Russian and English.
Hlavin has a basic understanding of firearms.
Last Seen: Bonn, West Germany
Report: Hlavin, under the pseudonym Anja Schmitz, was seen at 11:58 pm boarding a small, unscheduled plane in Copenhagen, accompanied by a man, identified as [blank]. She disembarked the same plane at 3:30 am in New York; the man was not seen again. She was taken from the airport to a hotel within walking distance of the university
Hugo McKenzie: Hugo and Anja have struck up multiple conversations since she began working for Ralphio. She feels comfortable around him, seeing him as an exception within the world of politics. She is scared, however, to get to close, aware that if he knew who she really was he would have no choice but to betray her.
Roman Sokolov: Dominika’s point of contact with the KGB. The man is aloof, revealing very little of himself to Dominika’s scrutiny, this has never deterred her before, however, and Dominika knows the best way to escape prison is to befriend the guard, before stabbing him in the back.
Ralphio Kowalski: Ralphio is an incompetent man, just like all other incompetent men who Dominika has worked for in her life. She prefers, however, an incompetence man who she can control, to a competent one who controls her. She will feel no guilt betraying him, and using him, to regain the powerful position she used to hold.
