A young Nadya Orelov.

Nadya Orelov was the daughter of Nikolai and Anna Orelov, born some time between 1908 and 1917. She was also the elder sister of Innokenti Orelov.

In 1917, she was present with her parents when Nikolai exhumed the body of Grigori Rasputin, in order to obtain his shard of the Russian Imperial Sceptre, one of the Staves of Eden. They then proceeded to escape Russia and migrate to the United States to begin new lives.

During the Palmer Raids of 1919, Nadya and her mother were separated from her father and younger brother, and were deported back to Russia. The American Assassins later claimed it was them who oversaw their safe return to Russia, saying that "the Brotherhood takes care of its own." She became married and had at least one child, a son. Many years later, during the early 21st century, Nadya met a young man in a church in Moscow, not realizing that it was her grand-nephew Daniel Cross.
