Profile
Vorkuta is a Metro Eisengrad soldier, later Train Knight, who enjoys combat, and has little to no respect to the Railway Army and military orders. Vorkuta has a very strong sense of smell and awareness, described as "beast-like", capable of sensing presence of Samantha before their appearance, and her senses are stronger than the groomed-assassin Tayshet. While she is able to the difference between what's dangerous and what's not, she has no concept of "fear".
Vorkuta was sold out to the Railway Army by a group of mercenaries, chained and caged, as a top-secret laboratory research subject in M. Eisengrad, alongside other demonic beasts that has the ability to suck Phantom Mist. Vorkuta was in charge of hunting down and cleaning up corpses of demonic beasts that have escaped the facility, and is the only remaining survivor left after a covered-up fallout. The only scientist in the facility who treated her like a proper human being was a woman, yet she too did not escape her later death.

Vorkuta's first appearance is when she was alone observing the Giant Tree from a destroyed M. Eisengradian base. She was ordered by the Railway Army to search for any survivors after the base near the Tree has not updated the military of their status for a long time. A Samantha greeted her and said there are no survivors after a beast killed all of them, while surprised to find Vorkuta not afraid of her appearance. The Samantha left, only to quickly be followed up by a Steel Seeker speaks and demanded for the Samantha's whereabouts. Vorkuta refused, and she was attacked. Mary came in to assist and both escaped. The SSS found the two running away from a giant army of Mist Monsters and picked both up into their train, the SSS already knowing who Vorkuta is in the past. Vorkuta is extremely excited to see both Conductor and Tayshet and kept challenging the latter to a fight, where she was politely refused. Vorkuta directly ignored Captain Yakutsk's orders to engage the Mist Monsters, who's her superior, though she was managed to be reined in by Mary by saying she'll promise a fight with her as long as Vorkuta follows what the Conductor and Captain says. As they fled with their Mist Train, halfway through the journey Vorkuta caused a commotion after she sees a research facility within the Mist, and tried to get out of the Train, causing Conductor to stop the train due to the whistle and the commotion afterwards. Yakutsk reminded Vorkuta again to obey superior's order and not ignore them if she wants to go in and investigate, or she'll be subdued by all the other SSS members, much to Vorkuta's annoyance. Vorkuta wants to go in and finish off all remaining demonic beasts - a job she was given and wants to see completed. While inside the facility, Vorkuta explained that the facility is for a top-secret study on demonic beasts - man-made beings enhanced by mist stones that can absorb Phantom Mist. She explained that she was locked into a cage here for experimental and punishment reasons, after she nearly killed a lot of her superiors due to being tricked and sold out by the mercenaries into being involved with this project. Shewas about to be experimented as M. Eisengrad's 'secret weapon', but that did not begin as everyone else in the facility was killed by rampaging demonic beasts that turned against their masters by then. The SSS then met Youko, who's also looking to kill such beasts. She called Vorkuta a 'freak in a cage', but Tayshet defended her. Youko brought the SSS into the primary nest of the beasts. Vorkuta sensed that Youko is up to no good, and is furious at Youko stealing things inside the facility, and even using the modified mist stone she stole to generate more Phantom Mist. Vorkuta noted that the Phantom Mist is unusual in that it cannot be cleared normally, only by having the demonic beasts inhale all of them and then kill the beasts that do, though the beasts get considerably stronger after consuming the Mist. Once they've killed all the demonic beasts though, there's still leftover Phantom Mist. Vorkuta was furious enough to want to attack her, but Tayshet stopped her. Youko left with her Gate after exclaiming her disgust of people in this universe. The SSS later escaped the facility with the help of the same Samantha Vorkuta saw, before the Mist affects them long enough to become Wandering Lives. The Samantha brought them to the Eisengrad Giant Tree. While on the journey to the Guardian's Chamber, Tayshet had a small conversation with Vorkuta about the time they first met and how she changed afterwards. Once they're in the Chamber, Vorkuta and the SSS fought against the large demonic beast while the Guardian of the Giant Tree fought the Mistism cultist leader. After the demonic beast was slain, Vorkuta did manage to hurt the cultist leader, albeit most of the damage is nullified by magic. The situation was temporarily resolved, but Vorkuta felt that this isn't over yet. |
Trivia
- Vorkuta's birthday is the date where Vorkuta is recognized as a state in 1943.
- Vorkuta's backstory as a less-than-human test subject may be a minor reference to the Vorkutlag, one of the most notorious forced-labour camps of the Gulag. Vorkutlag was established in 1932 with the start of mining. It was the largest of the Gulag camps in European Russia. Vorkuta and the labour camp system based around it were connected to the rest of the world by a prisoner-built rail line linking Konosha, Kotlas, and the camps of Inta. Town status was granted to Vorkuta on November 26, 1943.
- The two archs in the background of [Brutal Combat Maniac] is the memorial for all the 99 coal miners who have died at the Tsentralnaya coal mine in Vorkuta since 1953. The background also features the fictional Voltarja Celestial Sphere and the Voltarja observation point in M. Eisengrad.
- Special Skill Krasnaya Groza(クラスィニー・グラザ, красная гроза) is Russian for "Red Lighting".

Vorkuta station is located at Vorkuta, sharing the same name with the station on the Northern Railway in the Komi Republic, connected to the country's railway network in 1941 when the Kozhva-Vorkuta railway was built. In the 1970s, in connection with the increase in passenger traffic, Lengiprotrans developed a project for a railway station at Vorkuta station. LGT.RU
In December, the tracks were completed on the Kozhva-Vorkuta section. The first train with OV series locomotive #5381 set off from Pechora station to the completed Vorkuta station on December 26. The first train on the whole length of the North Pechora Railway, from Kotlas to Vorkuta, was put into operation. At the time, the Great Patriotic War was on the way and the country was in urgent need of Vorkuta coal. The railway had to be constructed in the hardest conditions of permafrost.
Most of the labour were prisoners from Vorkutlag for the construction of the railway. The labourers were given tools such as wheelbarrows, pickaxes, sledgehammers and shovels. Construction was rapidly carried out in bitterly cold weather. Testimonials of railway workers of those years the first railway was said to be "running to and fro" and "was alive". At the very beginning, the forced labour there were not given semaphore lights, and people had to follow the light of paraffin lanterns of people on duty in the dark. 29 mines were laid during the war, of which 12 were put into operation thanks to the railway. More than 7 million tonnes of high quality coke were produced during those years.
On November 26, 1943 there was a Decree of the Presidium of the RSFSR Supreme Soviet assigning Vorkuta town status. The new town consisted of barracks, and the "free population" was no more than 5000 people. Until the opening of Vorkuta railway station in 1950, the railway junction was a network of approach lines to the loading yards of mines and freight yards. In 1950, the inauguration of the railway station took place. In the following years, track facilities, signalling, centralisation and interlocking systems and devices were systematically developed and a passenger platform was built. The station was opened for freight operations. Wikipedia
Vorkuta (Воркута́; Nenets for "the abundance of bears", "bear corner") is a coal-mining town in the Komi Republic, Russia, situated just north of the Arctic Circle in the Pechora coal basin at the river Vorkuta. Vorkuta is the fourth largest city north of the Arctic Circle and the easternmost town in Europe. It is also the coldest city in all of Europe, boasting a record cold temperature of −52 °C (−61 °F).
Vorkuta's population has dropped steadily since the fall of the Soviet Union, when mines were privatized and many people began moving farther south. Many of the mines have been abandoned and by September 2020, the city's estimated population was only about 50,000. A report in March 2021 described the villages in the area as "ghost towns" with many "abandoned structures".
Due to severe climate of the extreme North with its unpredictable and often non-flyable weather, the only reliable link between Vorkuta and the Russian mainland is its railway, and Vorkuta train station, despite its small size, is extremely vital for the town. Train connections are available daily to and from Moscow, taking two nights. Long-distance services with Saint Petersburg and Nizhniy Novgorod are more irregular, usually departing 1-2 times. Regional night trains also link Vorkuta with Pechora and Syktyvkar. During holiday season sporadic services to/from the Black Sea appears, serving mostly domestic tourists. Wikitravel
