Gorga A.K.A. Melanie Chimner

Gorga, or Melanie Chimner, was a late victim of the Chernobyl incident; her peasant family lived in the area, where she was prenatally exposed to radioactive elements. In her childhood riddled with sickness, she escaped her bed one day and wandered into an extremely radioactive lakebed, where she found Leonid laying in a mud flat. Finding herself naturally stronger in a high-radiation environment, she befriended Leonid and played with him. Her parents dispatched a search party; they found nothing but bones and Melanie's clothes (which she shed after a short time with Leonid). Assuming the worst, her parents mourned and held a funeral. Since then, Gorga and Leonid rampaged the countryside; it is during this time that Melanie was named Gorga, as she was heard calling Leonid and was assumed to be his wife-in-spirit.

For the most part, Gorga fought mounted from Leonid's back; she could throw spears like nobody's business, and was the only known homonid capable of harnessing Leonid, as well as issuing him orders.

Demise
Gorga was assassinated from Leonid's back by The Mist, in an attempt to neutralize Leonid's power.
