I never let Torrez resurface. I was playing a game...letting you think he had. All so I could confront you.

— Gary Korec

Gary Korec is one of the ghost companions of the Prisoner-of-War.

History

Gary Korec was a double agent, pretending to be part of the United States Army when he was an agent of the KGB. During a Russian espionage operation, Gary Korec was supposed to be the backup escape contingency of KGBeast. Gary Korec was murdered by The Operative during the operation. His death was witnessed by Dominick Torrez, a soldier of the United States Army at the time. Subsequently, Gary Korec became the first soul Prisoner-of-War would carry with him.

Eventually, after Dominick Torrez had visited Marie Korec, Gary Korec's anger about his death allowed him to take control of Prisoner-of-War's body to take his revenge. He infiltrated the Others but failed to kill The Operative, which led Gary Korec to ally himself with Mayhem. He infiltrated the Others once more, but the Others were able to see through his act. Ultimately, the other ghosts inside Prisoner-of-War's body drove Gary Korec's soul out. Without a body to contain him, Gary Korec's soul vanished.
