Lucjan Kulczycki

Before the war Lucjan was considered a good citizen of the Polish People's Republic. Born working class in Olawa, he worked as a truck driver and construction foreman before going to an adult education college and getting a degree in business management in order to open a small bar. He lived a quiet life with a wife and two daughters. He was an active member of his local party committee but not exceptionally committed.

Unknown to most, Lucjan was a spy for the German BND. His bar was a frequent watering hole of Soviet officers and their indiscrete gossip was an invaluable resource on Soviet and Polish military operations in the area. He received payment in the form of imported German consumer goods, but he mostly did it for a thrill. His handler was a German BND agent operating under deep cover, pretending to be a Polish mechanic named Urszula Kalisz.

During the war, Lucjan's spying was cut short, and he suffered pangs of anxiety that he might have contributed to Polish defeats whenever he heard of German forces defeating Polish units. His wife and one daughter were killed in a NATO airstrike. When his Urszula contacted him he told her he wanted nothing to do with her, but when she threatened to expose him as a spy he realised he had no choice.

Now, he is the Mayor of Olawa, but he is really Urszula's puppet. He is angry at her and concerned that she intends to annex the town into Germany. He hopes that traveling soldiers may be able to help him in Reconquering Olawa. He still runs his bar, but his surviving daughter, Rinka, does most of the work.

Lucjan is a tall man with flaming red hair that is going prematurely bald. His features are rough and his nose has been broken several times. He usually wears sweaters and worker's cargo pants. He only speaks Polish.
