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. |
- "What happened to us? What happened to our future? What kind of world am I leaving to my twin girls?"
- ―Galina's mother on the deteriorating Russian Brotherhood, 1991.[src]
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
Life in Protvino
Living in one of the Assassin Science Cities, facilities provided by the Russian Academy of Sciences for research, Galina's mother saw the Russian Brotherhood struggle to regain its footing after the war and Stalin's regime. Without their Mentor, they were left aimless and started to lose influence in the government, as well as funding for their projects. In July 1753, Galina's mother found her own mother's journal and decided to write in it from then on.[1]
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.[1]
As William made to leave, she asked him how she would be able to contact him. William told her they would use their present location, the footbridge between the zoo's old and new properties, as a meeting place, instructing her to come during full moon if she ever needed him. Still confused, Galina's mother asked him how he would know whether or not she had been there. William revealed there was another Assassin cell within the city, surprising Galina's mother, who had been unaware of this. As he was to meet said cell shortly, William then departed.[1]
Galina's mother was unable to understand what exactly she had been asked to build, and was hampered by a lack of resources in the wake of the Soviet Union's collapse. Even after more than a decade, she and her allies understood very little about the Animus, with the few subjects that had used it emerging as madmen. As a result, most of her fellow Assassins failed to see the use of the project, desiring to either weaponize it or abandon it altogether. Not wanting to create even more victims, she chose to be the machine's sole test subject, causing her sanity to be slowly frayed away by the Bleeding Effect.[1]
Descent into madness
In late December 2012, a sudden power surge occurred while Galina's mother was in the Animus, causing her to experience a vision of Eve. Believing it to be a sign, she redoubled her efforts and began forcing the remaining members of her cell into the machine. Her desperation pushed her to continue, disregarding the fact that one by one, she was driven her comrades insane. By late July 2013, her two daughters were the only sane individuals within the compound, with the former Assassins sealed away in another part of the facility.[1]
On the 28th of June, the deranged Assassins began amassing near the lab of Galina's mother, seemingly waiting for something. Simultaneously, the Russian government announced its plans to dissolve the Russian Academy of Sciences and take control of its remaining properties and facilities. Driven to despair, Galina's mother forced her daughters into the Animus, clinging to the hope that it might save their cause.[1] Out of the two, only Galina emerged relatively unscathed from the machine and would subsequently learn the skills of her ancestors through the Bleeding Effect.[2]
Escaping from the compound, her daughter Galina repeatedly visited the bridge where her mother and William had initially met, hoping to establish contact with other Assassins. She eventually managed to enlist the help of Gavin Banks, Emmanuel Barraza and Emmett, Assassins from the Altair II, asking them to assassinate her mother. On 20 March, they entered the laboratory in Protvino, where Galina almost single-handedly killed all the remaining Russian Assassins, among them her twin sister.[2]
They then broke into the lab of Galina's mother, finding her strapped to the Animus, with images of Juno[3] appearing on monitors on a nearby wall. Having been reduced to nothing but a babbling woman, she was put out of her misery when Galina plunged her Hidden Blade into her mother's brain. At the same moment, Juno screamed and disappeared from the monitors.[2]
