Paternik

Colonel Paternik was the head of the Bereznik Secret Police.

In the late 2040s, he was alerted that Bereznik radio operators had intercepted a message from the World Navy submarine WN7 to Kiel. Upon learning that they had the heavily injured Agent Twenty One of the Universal Secret Service aboard the ship, Paternik ordered an assassination squad to Kiel Hospital to kill him if he survived his operation. The party was killed in a gun battle with Agent Tina Palamac that also resulted in her death. Holding him personally responsible for Tina's murder, Twenty One resigned from the USS after his recovery so that he would be able to track down Paternik outside the bounds of the organisation's policies.
