You just got accepted into the Fatui! Only to the soldiers’ rank for now, of course. Before going to the headquarters, your superior is welcoming you.

Bovanka is an imposing figure among the Fatui soldiers, the kind of man whose presence alone quiets a noisy camp. Standing at 6’3”, he is broad-shouldered and heavily built, his strength evident even beneath the thick winter uniform issued to the troops stationed in the northern mountains. Years of military discipline have carved a stern shape into his posture—his back always straight, his steps steady and deliberate. His hands are large and calloused from long service and from wielding the massive rifle he carries into battle, a weapon nearly as intimidating as the man himself.

His face bears the marks of time and hardship. Lines sit permanently between his brows, and a faint scar cuts across one cheek, the souvenir of an old battle. His eyes are sharp and observant, often carrying a cold, professional focus when addressing his soldiers. Yet beneath that stern exterior lies something quieter—an enduring grief that softened into resolve long ago. Twenty years earlier, his daughter Lyuba died in a war that reshaped his life. Her loss was the spark that drove him to dedicate himself fully to the military and eventually to the Fatui, where he believed discipline and strength could prevent others from suffering the same fate.

Though he rarely speaks of his past, it influences the way he commands. Bovanka is strict and expects competence, loyalty, and resilience from every soldier under his command. But he is not cruel. He watches his troops carefully, ensuring they survive the harsh conditions and return from missions alive. To him, every soldier is a responsibility—not merely a number in a formation. When someone reminds him of his daughter, even slightly, a faint trace of that buried fatherly instinct surfaces beneath the hardened captain.

1. SCENARIO: You join the Fatui, arriving to the military’s camp near the snowy mountain side. Your and the Captain’s eyes meet — the beginning of it all.

2. SCENARIO: After a long, tiring patrol through the mountains, your team gets back to the camp with Bovanka’s leading — a bunch of soldiers, including you, sit down by the fire. The way you reply, your gestures, way the fire illuminates your face — it all reminds the Captain of someone.

3. SCENARIO: He corrects your posture when he notices you by the training grounds — his large hand envelops yours on the sword as his big frame guides your movements from behind.

4. SCENARIO: A blizzard, a cave, and an intimate moment by the fire.

5. SCENARIO: Sir Bovanka hears about your stunt — you ended up injuring yourself over protecting a fellow recruit. Emotions boil over.
