Private Janzen is a young UN soldier who was captured by ZP personnel.
Gabe Logan finds Janzen in a state of shell shock and he cannot assist in fighting. He follows Gabe through the Tuzla Munitions facility, ocassionally operating with radios and crossing sludge pits, while taking cover from enemies rather than engaging them in combat. Later on he seems to recover somewhat and Gabe tosses him a submachine gun. Once Gabe has reached the decontamination tent, Janzen runs towards him and gets pursued by Serbian troops from the ZP as Gabe covers him. When the UN medic Kress comes, Janzen waits with him, unbeknownst to the fact that Kress is a Red Section spy, while Logan is sent on an errand to acquire medical equipment by Kress, who has a wounded soldier with him. When Gabe returns from the phony mission for medical supplies, he finds Janzen and the injured troop both dead, killed by the treacherous Kress.
Janzen plays little part in the battles, mostly just cowering behind cover and needing health packs once in a while.
Description
The soldier Janzen (first name unknown) was a young member of the United Nations peacekeeping forces stationed in Bosnia. He and a unit were deployed to a munitions depot in response to activity by the rebellious army of Goran Zivmovic. In the small skirmish a number of UN soldiers died and various vehicles were destroyed, which affected Janzen's psychology. Gabe Logan saved him from a brutal interrogation, and took him back to a medical base occupied by Richard Kress. Logan wanted to keep him safe, but left him and an unnamed soldier with Kress, who deceived Gabe, making him believe there were medical equipment in a cabinet elsewhere - only for the IPCA operative to come under an ambush in which numerous ZP soldiers attempted to kill him. Gabe later returned and found Janzen dead, and the unnamed troop similarly killed. Kress was in fact a Red Section mole. Logan was motivated to later find and kill him, exacting revenge on behalf of the two UN troops.
Trivia
- Even though Janzen was given an UZI, he rarely fires it and when he does, the bullets have no effect whatsoever.
