Elizabeth Alstrom

Born in 2016 to a family of Swedish immigrants coming to America, Elizabeth moved to Neon District at an early age and raised in a less-fortunate environment. She was isolated from the rest of the city with only her older brother, Jacob Alstrom, as Elizabeth’s friend and guardian. Both her mother and father were working to keep a stable flow of income, her mother working as a taxi cab driver, and the father working as a construction site worker and repairman. At age 12, Elizabeth’s father died in a work accident at a construction site, and her mother was shot and killed, caught in a crossfire between two rival gangs. Fleeing the district with Jacob, who learned of a city free from corruption and danger, traveled to the Megacity. He died from exhaustion and dehydration shortly before reaching the gates to the city. Elizabeth was taken in by the N.U.E.C. and trained in assassination, covert operations, sharpshooting, Hand-to-hand combat, and interrogation. She was given leave in 2040 due to moral and ethical issues regarding accidental civilian deaths and the killing of “innocent” targets. Elizabeth was Injured in 2041 from abuse from law enforcement. This resulted in an assault, harassment, and loss of her right eye. She swore revenge against the Watch and the City Authority who funded them. Returned to N.U.E.C. in 2042, and given prosthetics per request and put back into active service in the Agency. Became a substantial threat to any Watch and Syndicate shortly afterward, hunting them down and dispatching them silently while they were alone. Elizabeth was recorded to have cheated death with armor plating after taking multiple .45 ACP Submachine gun injuries from a Watch android as a result of strangling and waterboarding an officer. Hid in sewers for some time before re-emerging. Broke into city authority during a riot, and with assistance from 2 other allies, tortured and killed a large group of executives. (Total body count: 15) Assisted in the attack of City Authority again, this time with an even higher body count. She Escaped via parachute from the building.

Elizabeth was left behind after NUEC pulled out from Neon District, leaving the agent to fend for herself. Not much had been recorded to have happened, believed to be dead until she was finally confirmed to be alive 2 years later. Her tone and outlook on life became colder, and she grew distant from the people around her. Death was only part of her life, part of her previous job. She had still firmly believed in NUEC's goal of toppling City Authority and instigating their government. Elizabeth had been noted to have worked with two accomplices in the murder of multiple people. However, these were mostly those who had bounties on their heads. Elizabeth then disappeared, remaining off the grid for months, many believing that she had simply left the city and returned to the Megacity.

In reality, Elizabeth had traveled to Russia, deep out of civilized land, and into the biting cold of the Siberian mountains. Here she met up with Mikhail Volkov, a crazed Russian scientist who believed to have found an old soviet research laboratory and had sent for Elizabeth to help him salvage what was left.
