Elina Berg (born 2009) is the daughter of the Master Templar and Abstergo Industries operative Juhani Otso Berg and his ex-wife Helmi Berg.
Treatment for her medical condition is what her father was bribed with for him joining Abstergo Industries.
Biography
Born with cystic fibrosis, Elina was often hospitalized for costly treatment programs, the mounting bills eventually driving her father to retire from Finland's Utti Jaeger forces and take work as a freelance mercenary. However, this career change failed to solve the financial difficulties, and only caused her parent's marriage to disintegrate, and Juhani's debt grew deeper.[1]
Sometime in 2010, Abstergo Industries' Dr. Warren Vidic led a strike team into the Berg home, alarming Juhani and startling Elina from her sleep. Juhani watched as Vidic calmed Elina and administered a medication which he claimed would cure her ailment.[1]
Promising financial compensation and more of the medicine for Juhani's participation in the Animi Training Program, Vidic was able to convince Berg to join him, on the condition that Juhani be allowed to kill the soldier who had awoken his daughter.[1]
By 2012, Elina's condition had improved remarkably. Her father's work, however, put her in slight danger; his superiors felt that she could be a risk to Otso Berg's effectiveness as a field agent.[2] Abstergo surveillance team kept eyes on her father, and on 25 November a photo was taken by said team of Elina and her father walking the city streets of Helsinki.[3]
In one case in Cairo, Egypt on 12 December, Otso Berg was ordered to capture the Assassin leader William Miles as soon Miles exited his flight, but Otso Berg refrained from moving in on him until later due to the presence of a large group of schoolgirls who Miles posed as a tour guide for. When this was pointed out in the debriefing the next day, Laetitia England made a not-so subtle threat towards Elina, much to her father's anger.[2]
In October 2016,[4] the Templar Simon Hathaway, newly inducted into the Inner Sanctum thought about those present at his induction, Elina's father being one of them. He noted Juhani's usual persona of a cold calculated killer was oddly offset by his genuine love for his daughter. Hathaway was also aware of Elina's condition and the circumstances that led to her father working for Abstergo.[5]
Despite his relocation to Canada, Berg stayed in contact with his daughter through phone calls, keeping an eye on her education and often conflicting with Helmi due to his harshness towards Elina. He insisted that they speak English during their conversations, telling his daughter that language was power, and he also berated her when she showed weakness, since Berg viewed her treated disease as being no longer an excuse for failure. Despite his behavior, Berg loved his daughter, but for him the world was a harsh place and Elina would not be a little girl forever.[6] As a Templar, Berg believed that he was fighting for a better future, Elina being one of his main motivation for this fight, especially after witnessing the memories of Ratonhnhaké:ton and his daughter Io:nhiòte.[7]
In late 2018, Berg led Sigma Team in an assault on the Great Seal to Atlantis. There, Layla Hassan tried to tell Berg that the Staff of Hermes Trismegistus could help Elina but he angrily cut her off for even daring to speak his daughter's name.[8]
