Medeya Voronina

I wanted to ask you something. Which is... what's your name? This article title is conjecture. Although the article subject is canon, no official name for it has been given.

"This old bat might be the craziest of all. She swears that through the Animus, she's talking to Eve."

―Emmett on Galina's mother, 2014.

Galina and her mother

The mother of Galina Voronina (unknown – 20 March 2014) was a member of the Assassin Order, working as a scientist in a cell located in an old Assassin laboratory in Protvino outside of Moscow.

Biography

In 1977, while stealing animals from the Moscow zoo to use for testing, she witnessed a man being chased by Templar footsoldiers and decided to intervene. After having killed the men, she was surprised to find their quarry had been an American Assassin called William. As thanks, William gave her blueprints of the Animus, which he had stolen from Abstergo Industries, and asked her to construct the device before the Templars could. He then had her promise to keep him informed about their progress.

As William made to leave, she asked him how she would be able to contact him. William responded by revealing he was to meet another Assassin cell within the city, surprising Galina's mother, who had been unaware of this. He then assured her he would know when she needed to find him, claiming he had "eyes and ears everywhere", before departing.

She subsequently built her own Animus in the laboratory, and began suffering from the Bleeding Effect after prolonged exposure, eventually claiming to talk to "Eve" during her Animus sessions. She forced the other members of her cell to use the device, who in turn were driven insane by the Bleeding Effect.

In March 2014, her daughter Galina enlisted the help of Gavin Banks, Emmanuel Barraza and Emmett, Assassins from the Altair II, to assassinate her mother, who had reportedly been driven insane from overexposure to the Animus. On 20 March, they entered the laboratory in Protvino, where Galina almost single-handedly killed all the remaining Russian Assassins. Her mother was strapped to the Animus, with images of Juno appearing on monitors on a nearby wall. Galina plunged her hidden blade into her mother's brain, killing her instantly. At the same moment, Juno screamed and disappeared from the monitors.
