Biography

Early life

"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.

Avdotya and her twin sister were born to Medeya Voronina, an Assassin scientist who worked in one of the Assassin Science Cities, facilities that belonged to the Russian Academy of Sciences, but were used by the Assassins for research since the early 20th century. The twins grew up in one such compound, located in Protvino, Moscow, which served as their home and hideout. By 1991, it was the only Assassin Science City left, with the others having been eradicated by the nation's increasingly powerful Templars.

Raised as Assassins, Avdotya and her sister bore witness to the Russian Brotherhood's further decline, which their mother desperately tried to reverse by using the Animus she had built. The experiments, however, proved to be a disaster; the subjects were driven insane and subsequently sealed off in another section of the compound. Not wanting to create even more victims, the twins' mother chose to be the machine's sole test subject, causing her sanity to be slowly frayed away by the Bleeding Effect.

Animus test subject

In 2013, she began writing in her grandmother's journal, detailing the Russian government's decision to dissolve the Russian Academy of Sciences, which the Assassins had long used as a cover for their operations. She also wrote about her mother's experiments with the Animus and how she and all other Assassins had gone insane from the Bleeding Effect.

Her mother eventually forced her to take Animus sessions as well, and she inevitably fell victim to the Bleeding Effect. On 20 March 2014, with the support of the crew of the Altaïr II, Galina attacked the Protvino laboratory and killed all the Assassins present, including her sister.
