The Orelov family was a Russian family and an ancestor line of Daniel Cross.

History

After moving to Russia, Andrei joined the Narodnaya Volya, desiring to bring down the aristocratic rule over the country, who saw the organization to be terrorist in nature. When his son Nikolai was old enough, he had him inducted into the Order as he had been, despite his son's own reservations.

At some point Nikolai married a woman called Anna, who was aware of her husband's Assassin background.

During 1888, Anna was several months pregnant with her and Nikolai's first child. However, the baby died before birth; a grievous blow to the Orelov family, which caused Nikolai to become bitter and filled with hate.

Between 1908 and 1917, Anna gave birth to Nikolai's first surviving child, a daughter they named Nadya, and the two were present with Nikolai when he exhumed the body of Grigori Rasputin.

In July 1918, months after the October Revolution, a disillusioned Orelov decided to retire from the Assassins and leave the country with his family. Needing false documents to escape the turmoil in Russia and unable to get it through the Assassins without revealing his departure, Orelov decided to accept one last mission for the Brotherhood hoping to find some money to buy new identities for his family.

After betraying his brothers to save Anastasia, Nikolaï finally carried out his plan to definitely leave both his country and the Assassin Order. Along with their daughter, Nadya, Nikolaï and Anna crossed Russia's borders and boarded a ship that was bound for the United States, aided by using the power of the Staff's shard. Some time later, Anna gave birth to their second child, a son by the name of Innokenti.

During the Palmer Raids of 1919, while Anna and her family were in a local bar, federal officers arrived and began to round up Russian immigrants. In the ensuing chaos, Anna and Nadya were separated from Nikolai and Innokenti, and were deported back to Russia. The Assassin Brotherhood later claimed that they had ensured Anna's and Nadya's safe arrival in Russia, to protect "their own"
