Gurlukovich Mercenaries
From the Metal Gear Wiki
The Gurlukovich Mercenaries are an army of over 1,000 Russian mercenaries, known as "an army without a country". The army was at first commanded by Sergei Gurlukovich, but after his untimely death at the hands of his supposed comrade Revolver Ocelot on board the U.S.S. Discovery, his daughter, Olga Gurlukovich, took control of them. It is unknown if the Gurlukovich Mercenaries will reprise their role in Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns Of The Patriots.
The Gurlukovich Mercenaries were originally going to be deployed during the Shadow Moses Incident in 2005, in order to help the renegade members of FOXHOUND and the GENOME Army. Thanks to the actions of Solid Snake, this never happened. In 2007, the army helped Sergei and Ocelot take over the U.S.S. Discovery where a new type of Metal Gear was being held. After successfully obtaining the Metal Gear, Ocelot blew up the tanker killing both Sergei and United States Marine Commander Scott Dolph, as well as several members of both the Gurlukovich mercenaries and the US Marines.
In 2009, Olga lent the army over to the Sons of Liberty to help them take over the Big Shell, where a new type of Metal Gear was being held. It is currently unclear as to what happened to the remaining militiamen after the new development, Arsenal Gear, crashed into Manhattan.
[edit] Arsenal Tengu
Several members of the Gurlukovich army were trained as Arsenal Tengu in order to protect the inner sanctums of Arsenal Gear from infiltration and destruction. The Tengu soldiers have masks inside their helmets that can help them breathe in biochemical environments. They can also run faster and are stronger than the normal soldier, due to the artificial tissue they have on their armor.
