Sniper: Ghost Warrior 3 reveals more details about its story and characters

Lydia Jorjadze | Codename: Dael / Lynx | Age: 32

  • Became an expert marksman as soon as she was able to physically lift a rifle.
  • After joining the military, Lydia immediately made a name for herself through her skill and fearlessness.
  • She applied to the Special Forces Brigade but was blocked by General Boris Rokva, who attempted to trade continued promotion for sexual favors.
  • When the general forced himself on her, Lydia threw him out a window and was compelled to flee the country.
  • Afterward, she began work as a mercenary.
  • She met Jon North during a JSOC black-ops mission in Afghanistan about three years before the start of the game.
  • They had an intense love affair until Jon disappeared without a word after he barely survived a firefight that took out his whole unit.
  • Despite all that, she could not refuse his request to join him on his journey.

Robert North | Codename: Kestrel | Age: 28
  • Jon’s younger brother.
  • “Missing in Action” for two years, and is presumed dead.
  • His wife disappeared shortly after enemy agents captured him.
  • Rebellious and skeptical of authority.
  • Clever, quick to improvise, and has exceptional proficiency in high-tech weaponry.
  • Can build or fix anything. 
  • Slow to trust and sees himself as a “lone wolf.”
  • Began his career in the US Navy, rising quickly up the ranks despite his sometimes unorthodox methods.
  • Suspicious, at times reckless, but incredibly brave and ingenious SEAL.
  • Genuinely loves his older brother, but he has dedicated his life to beating him.
  • Believes warfare has moved on to a new era, which will leave his brother hopelessly behind.
  • Wants to lead the way forward and will not let Jon stop him, even at the cost of war between them. 
Personally, my money is on baby brother Robert being the villain. We'll see for sure when Sniper: Ghost Warrior 3 releases in full on PC, PS4, and Xbox One on April 4th, 2017.

To this point, CI Games has focused exclusively on revealing details about the game itself, and it's easy to see why. An open world playground for players to stalk their prey from afar through the scope of a rifle is a tantalizing proposition, but this time CI Games is talking about one of its lesser known side, its narrative. As we already know, players will assume the role of Jon North, an American Marine proficient in the use of a Sniper Rifle who has been dropped off in the country of Georgia to sabotage Separatist operations and neutralize key Separatist leaders.

Along the way, Jon is reconciling a personal journey as he seeks out his brother, who was captured and presumed dead two years earlier. During his journey, Jon will enlist the help of his former (but kinda current) lover, Lydia Jorjadze. 

Here's a breakdown of some key details on Jon North, his brother Robert, and his lover Lydia per an official press release.
