Kathryn Burlow

Kathryn "Calamity" Burlow, nicknamed "Calamity Kate", is an OCU adventurer, wildlife expert, television personality, and conservationist. Burlow is widely credited with the successful genetic restoration of the Siberian tiger in the wild, but she achieved worldwide fame from her television series Around the World with Kissin' Kate, an internationally broadcast wildlife documentary series, when her leg was severely damaged by a poacher's trap and had to be amputated. The entire ordeal was captured on video and resulting media frenzy gave her significant celebrity status throughout the Earth Sphere.

After a brief stint serving on the United Nations International Critical Response and Tactical Team in 2107, Burlow returned to the private sector as spokesperson for a conservation society. While on a public relations tour, Burlow pulled the wife of a planetary governor out of a burning car wreck, earning her universal accolades and honorary status as a Colonial citizen. By 2111, she had been invited by the OCU Naval Special Warfare Division to join the ranks of its elite SPARTAN Special Forces Initiative.
