Yelena Fedorova

Yelena Fedorova (rus: Елена Фёдорова) is an antagonist in the book Deus Ex: Icarus Effect and the game Deus Ex: Human Revolution. She is a senior member of the Tyrants.

Icarus Effect Novel
She was mechanically augmented with cloaking system and cybernetic legs prosthesis. She had a sentimental affair with Ben Saxon. Later in the book, she is sent to kill Secret Service agent Anna Kelso, who knows too much about her superior's mysterious work and is considering joining the Juggernaut Collective. At the end of the book, she is involved in a confrontation between Anna, Ben Saxon and the two other surviving Tyrant operatives. She is shot with an adhesive non-lethal shotgun round, but she is otherwise unharmed.

Human Revolution
She was the part of the black-ops team who attacked Sarif Industries research labs, preffering hit-and-run tactics, as she was seen shooting several guards with dual-wielded Hurricane SMGs, before cloaking and retreating to better position afterwards. Later, she and Lawrence Barrett returned from a failed mission to retrieve a Neural Hub from the dead, augmented Purity First member, and met up with Jaron Namir in Highland Park factory complex. Just as they were about to leave, Adam Jensen made his way to the lower leves, where he fought and killed Barrett while Namir and Fedorova escaped.

Trivia

 * Fedorova is typically a surname, quite popular, meaning, literally, "of the line of Fedor". Fedor is a Russian equivalent of the male name Theodore (greek - gift of God).


 * In Deus Ex: Icarus Effect Fedorova never speaks, implying that she is a mute. On page 270, a passage - "sometimes it seemed as if [Jaron Namir] had never known [Fedorova] to speak at all." suggests that she did speak at some point in the past.
 * In the novel, her last name is written as Federova, with an e, while in the game it's Fedorova, with an o. This minor discrepancy has not been explained as of yet.
