Both were of [[Andery Kerensky]]'s lineage. Satinka failed in her [[Trial of Position]] due to the unlikely circumstance of missing with every single missile shot, her [[battle armor]] communication malfunctioning, and its motive system freezing. Satinka was dismissed from the Warrior Caste for this poor performance, since she could not prove that her equipment had been sabotaged.<ref>''Icons of War'', p. 24</ref> ===Merchant Caste and Dark Caste=== After being dismissed from the Warrior Caste, Satinka tested down to the Clan Wolf [[Merchant Caste]]. A merchant named [[Jarlath]] became her mentor, but after Jarlath was murdered by another merchant, the enraged Satinka killed her mentor's murderer and the murderer's bodyguards. Consequently, Satinka was forced to flee to the [[Dark Caste]] with the assistance of another merchant named [[Zorian]]. Zorian was the Guildmaster of the [[Red Willows Free Guild]] but also was the ''Zimniy Korol'' – Winter King – leader of the ''Snezhnyye Siroty'' – Winter Orphans – one of the most powerful Dark Caste organizations.<ref>''Icons of War'', pp. 24–25</ref> Satinka became Zorian's protégée, with Zorian teaching Satinka everything about the legal and illegal sides of the guild. After Zorian died, Satinka replaced Zorian, adopting Zorian's dual life as the new Guildmaster in the Merchant Caste and adopting the title of ''Zimnyaya Ledy'', the ''Winter Lady'', in the Dark Caste.<ref>''Icons of War'', p. 25</ref> ===Satinka's role in Operation SPATHA II=== In [[3071]], Satinka heard about a new weapons dealer in [[Katyusha City]], a male Elemental, and she organized a meeting to buy from him, on 10 July, through [[Balbas]], her second-in-command. Maybe she suspected who he was, but seeing him face-to-face, she recognized him as Garmen. After unmasking herself, both agreed to make business together.<ref>''Icons of War'', pp. 16–17</ref> Satinka's people continued doing business with Garmen's for months, and slowly their relationship grew, first with her sharing why she failed in her Trial of Position, for which she suspected another ''sibkin'', Laya. Garmen told her how Laya had died crushed by a Hell's Horses 'Mech, and Satinka found it appropriate. Soon after, she and Garmen became lovers. He didn't share why he was there, but she guessed it on her own and offered him her people's aid in gathering intelligence and he agreed.<ref>''Icons of War'', pp. 26–27</ref> Satinka's assistance proved invaluable to Garmen's team, who were to execute [[Operation SPATHA]], part of [[Operation DAMOCLES II]], a Clan Wolf series of attacks to claim all Bloodhouse Kerensky legacies in the [[Clan Homeworlds]]. Garmen's team was to board the [[WarShip]] ''[[McKenna's Pride]]'' and steal General [[Aleksandr Kerensky]]'s coffin; Satinka's people helped them buy a [[DropShip]], the ''[[Botany Bay (DropShip)|Botany Bay]]''.<ref>''Icons of War'', p. 29</ref> When the Wolves attacked, they turned all of Katuysha City into a battlefield, and Garmen returned to Satinka two weeks later; they'd lost the ''Botany Bay'' and five men. Satinka had lost dozens of men and most of their guild's revenue but had survived. Each group needed the other's assistance, so a formal alliance was made, and Garmen's team became the Winter Lady's group enforcers and trainers.<ref name=IOWp36f>''Icons of War'', pp. 36–37</ref> Four years later, in [[3075]], Satinka's people controlled about 80 percent of all illegal activities in Katyusha City, thanks to the chaos of the [[Wars of Reaving]], which were still raging, and to the assistance of Garmen's people. SPATHA's survivors trained the Winter Lady's enforcers, and only fought in the most important actions, while they prepared SPATHA II.<ref>''Icons of War'', p. 39</ref> Toward the end of the year, Satinka suggested creating a suicide unit to attack the Space Control Center of Katyusha City. She helped Garmen recruit [[Stas]], an old Wolf MechWarrior who held a deep grudge against the [[Grand Council]]. He agreed, and recruited first three other former Wolves, and later a full [[Trinary]], which became the [[Retribution Wraiths (Clan Wolf)|Retribution Wraiths]].<ref name=IOWp36f /> While SPATHA II was being prepared, Satinka's acquisitions, which were meant not only for SPATHA, but also to relocate part of her people, including her, to the [[Inner Sphere]], attracted the attention of [[Ebon Keshik]] analyst [[Kyne]], who correctly identified Garmen and Satinka as the key enforcer of the Winter Lady and the Lady herself, respectively.<ref>''Icons of War'', pp. 52–53</ref> On 30 August, [[Katyusha Keshik]] forces assaulted the hotel were Satinka and Garmen were sleeping, but thanks to a warning from an inside source, they were prepared and managed to escape, shooting their way out.<ref>''Icons of War'', pp. 58–61</ref> After that, Satinka's people vanished and her official existence as a guild leader ceased, but the Katyusha Keshik forces were unable to seize more than a little part of her resources.<ref>''Icons of War'', pp. 62–63</ref> On 5 April [[3076]], SPATHA II was finally launched; Garmen and Satinka's people who would leave the Clan Homeworlds attacked together, taking the ''[[McKenna's Honor]]'' [[DropShip]] and later boarding the ''Pride.'' But when Garmen's people attempted to recover the "Great Father's" coffin, they had problems, and Garmen decided to take the WarShip with them. As she had more JumpShip experience, Garmen gave the command position to Satinka.<ref>''Icons of War'', pp. 119–120</ref> She did a good job, and after a long pursuit, they managed to escape the system and join with Satinka's people's fleet.<ref>''Icons of War'', pp. 173–175</ref> During the way through the [[Exodus Road]], she became pregnant and had a child with Garmen, a boy whom they named ''Andery'', in honor of their common ancestor. Before Garmen's people joined up with Wolf forces, Satinka and her people separated from them.<ref>''Icons of War'', p. 181</ref> However, despite Satinka's departure, the Winter Lady stayed ''alive''; Balbas, who succeeded her, keep the mythical leader active using four body doubles – succeeding her, but keeping himself in the shadows.<ref>''Icons of War'', pp. 64–65</ref> ===Dark Age Era=== Satinka apparently vanished after separating her fleet from the ''Pride'', but, after the end of the [[Word of Blake Jihad]], Garmen, who had become a [[Republic of the Sphere]] soldier, married a merchant named ''Brenda Winter'', having a son with her, whom they named ''Andery Winter''. Both the same name for their son and ''Brenda''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s family name, almost identical to her Dark Caste title, clearly imply that Brenda was the identity taken by Satinka.<ref>''IlClan'', p. 19</ref> ==Physical description== Satinka was described as tall, but lean and trim, instead of bulky, with a beautiful face and sparkling blue eyes.<ref>''Icons of War'', p. 19</ref> ==Notes== ==References== <references /> ==Bibliography== * ''[[Icons of War]]'' * ''[[IlClan (sourcebook)|IlClan]]'' [[Category:Clan Wolf Characters|Satinka]] [[Category:Dark Caste Characters|Satinka]]
