Marina Romanova

Tell me all your dirty little secrets. I promise I won't tell.

Dr. Marina Romanova (Rus: Марина Романова) is the profiler of the Bureau.

Profile
Hailing from Saint Petersburg, Russia, Marina is a 32-year-old profiler who worked as a psychologist prior to her tenure to the Bureau. Marina has light brown eyes and long auburn hair. She wears a button-up white office jacket and a scarf around her neck. She is also seen wearing a golden pendant. Marina is known to be intelligent, seductive, and calculating.

Marina holds a doctorate degree in a psychology field. It is also known that she is the daughter of Natasha Romanova, director of the Russian Space Agency COSMORUS.

Death in the Desert
After the indictment of nomadic woman Mama Yasmine, Carmen Martinez and the player also discovered that Jonah Karam had personally missed a target only one time and went to interrogate him about it. Jonah had only revealed, angrily, that he had missed his target in Russia and slammed the door behind him as he left. As Carmen reported this to Marina, the profiler ran out of the office, much to the player’s disbelief. As they caught up to her, Marina explained that she was the target Jonah had missed.

Marina was a psychology student in Moscow, and she had to find a way to develop interrogation techniques to make people confess for an assignment. She had succeeded in tricking the Russian president at the time into admitting a multi-billion dollar fraud, and the latter was forced to step down. Marina then showed the team a scar that she had received as a result of the president ordering a hit on her. Carmen thought that Jonah had missed Marina on purpose, as his reason was personal; however, the latter shouted that a psychopath decided who would die and who would live, and she continued to claim that Jonah would not be trusted.

Analyses
Marina's job is to analyze physical objects and/or clues that cannot be analyzed flawlessly through bio-forensics or digital analysis, but instead through psychological analysis, and to return the results after a certain amount of time or a speed-up process using Criminal Case Cash. Marina's task-wait rates will vary depending on the difficulty of the task, but they all cost 1 Criminal Case Cash per 30 minutes.
