Athena

Technical Sergeant Gloria Branigan, codenamed "Athena", was a soldier of the Alliance Forces that served under the Galactic Council of Alliances during the Human-Alien Conflict. She was playable in every Zombies map in the Zombies saga (aside from The Recovery Job and The Return of Ataraxia) up until the end of Adventure's End.
At the end of Adventure's End, "Athena" ultimately sacrificed herself to defeat Ataraxia by detonating an EMP Grenade within the Iron Doom as it flies through space, trapping the two within the tank as it becomes lost in space until the weapon was eventually engulfed by a black hole, leaving their fates a mystery.
It was later revealed that both of them survived the ordeal, being transported to the year 2019 in the past, where she would ally with SEAL Team Five and later her old comrades once they arrived to 2019.
== History ==
=== Experiment Gone Wrong ===
During the Human-Alien Conflict, she was one of four soldiers to witness an experiment done by several Earth nations, Galactic Council of Alliances , and Eclipse Medical and Health Services. However, the experiment went wrong and the test subject "zombie-ified" the scientists and the other security personnel.
She survived the outbreak and eventually met up with a Shock Trooper Guard Sergeant Alain Bourden, a Nakamurian soldier Jack McMack, and an unknown mercenary of unknown affiliation. She teams up with the three and attempt to survive the outbreak.
