 JAMES BUCHANAN "BUCKY" BARNES AKA WINTER SOLDIER (Ex?) Red Room Assassin PB: Sebastian Stan Former Mentor/Lover to Natalia Romanova | James Buchanan "Bucky" Barnes is the childhood best friend of Steve Rogers (now known to the world as Captain America). After being saved from the experiment-happy clutches of the Nazi regime, James served as a member of the Howling Commandos under his once-tiny friend. During a particularly dangerous mission in Russia, James was presumed dead. In reality, he was found by Russian agents and delivered to the doors of a secret facility known as the Red Room. It was here that he gained his metal arm, after losing his left in the fall. It was also here that he was turned into a living, breathing weapon. While at the facility, his memories were wiped, making him much more pliable to the puppeteers pulling the strings. Part of his job while not on mission was to help train the new initiates. No one expected the brainwashed assassin to fall for one of his pupils, nor did they expect the shining star of their Black Widow program, Natalia Romanova, to reciprocate those feelings. The pair was separated as soon as the Red Room caught wind of their blossoming romance. Natalia was assigned a husband and the Winter Soldier was sent to be wiped again. Bucky has spent most of his life in cryo, in between missions. With a 100% success rate, he has been the Red Room's best kept secret since WW2. His latest mission brought him to New York - his target: Steve Rogers. A chance run-in with his former flame while scoping out the new territory, however, has jogged memories and brought a halt to his mission until he can get things figured out, first and foremost of those, who he is. |
