Angelia (安洁莉娅, otherwise shortened to Ange or Angie (安洁)) is a former member of Griffin & Kryuger and the Neo-Soviet Union's Bureau of State Security. Using her ties in the private military and covert operations worlds, she opposes all who wants to use Relic Technology. She is the leader of Task Force DEFY, the main backer of Squad 404, and an ally of the Commander and Persica.

Background

Angelia is her pseudonym. Her true name is Anna Viktorovna Tsoi (Анна Викторовна Цой), a Soviet Korean born on 22 August 2032 in Tashkent, Uzbekistan. Her father Viktor Tsoi was a railway engineer while her mother Svetlana Sin was a secondary school teacher. The family moved to Moscow in 2039 when Viktor was chosen to work for the Soviet Ministry of Transport. The night of 2 March 2045, at the height of political tensions between the United States and the Neo-Soviet Union over the German Civil War, a Minuteman III MIRV missile broke through Moscow’s ABM network and hit near Viktor's workplace, killing him and his wife who was driving to pick him up from work.

Amidst the chaos in Moscow, Anna was handed over to the Internal Troops 36th Brigade, who were organizing the evacuation of the Ministry of Transport personnel, and evacuated to Ordzhonikidze, the capital of the North Ossetia-Alania Republic. The 13-years old Anna became well-liked among the soldiers of the 9th Company, who often snuck her aboard their armored vehicles for rides to distract her from loneliness. After some administrative turmoil, Anna was sent to Beslan a few kilometers away from the 36th Brigade’s garrison to live with the family of Ismaili Ibrahimov, one of her father’s ex-colleague and friend. The Ordzhonikidze region was relatively spared from the ongoing World War Three aside from food and commodities shortages and Anna received a normal education. One day in April 2047, Anna was riding to school in one of the 9th Company's Bumerang APC when she was noticed by the visiting Soviet Minister of the Interior Viktor Zelinsky. An attached photographer took a picture of Zelinsky shaking hands with Anna aboard the APC which would circulate widely after the war. Anna and Zelinsky exchanged letters for a few months after their encounter.

On 1st September 2050, armed Islamist extremists from the Relocation Action Group, who were about to be captured by the Bureau of State Security's Alpha Group and the 36th Brigade, invaded the No. 1 Secondary School of Beslan and took over a thousand teachers, students and parents hostage with a Relic-powered explosive device, demanding the Neo-Soviet government to stop their joint counterterror operations with the countries of Western Europe and release all captured terrorists. The standoff dragged on for 11 hours and an internal dispute emerged among the terrorists as some of them refused to execute children. Moreover, the Relic power source began to melt, jamming local communications and leaving StateSec agents, the 36th, the police, the terrorists, the hostages and the armed civilians deaf and dumb.

The StateSec commanding officer eventually ordered an assault to stop the terrorists from using the bomb. As the terrorists were returning fire from the gymnasium where they held some hostages and the bomb, Anna took action and ran to the bomb to rip out the wires, stopping the countdown. Having lost their biggest bargaining chip, the terrorists turned their fire against the hostages. All 20 terrorists were killed, but so were four soldiers of the 36th and 186 students and their parents, including one of Ibrahimov's sons, while himself and his second son were injured. Anna was unscathed, having been shielded from bullets by the bomb. After the burials, Anna cut her hair off and wrote a letter to Zelinsky. A year later, she graduated from secondary school and entered the C.M. Kirov Command Academy ran by the Ministry of Internal Affairs in Ordzhonikidze. After this, she continued her studies in Moscow and gradually disappeared from the life of her adoptive parents and friends. She sent her last letter to the Ibrahimovs in November 2059 along with some high-quality daily essentials and rations, and a picture of herself in a military uniform, wearing a Captain (上尉) insignias, a rank she still held during the events that would unfold in the following years.

Character Info

Angelia is a woman with pale skin, grey eyes and steel grey hair reaching her upper back, usually worn in a messy ponytail. Her left arm and right leg have been replaced by mechanical prosthetics going at least up to her shoulder and knee. She has two cut scars on her left forehead and right jaw, and a burn scar spreading from her left shoulder to her torso. She also has burn scars on her waist or lower abdomen, but these are not consistent between depictions. She is usually seen in tight-fitting clothes exposing her prosthetics with an overcoat and dog-tags or a business suit, but has also worn loose clothing in gopnik style.

Due to the events of her childhood, Angelia wants to destroy as many Relic Technology artifacts as possible. While she cares about her country, she also thinks its people need to refocus their hatred to reconstruction, and that while power is necessary to change the world, uncontrollable power like Relic technology will turn back on its user. Due to her ideals and means, she was designated as a person of interest and potential ally by the Promethean Rossartrists.

Angelia is a no-nonsense, brutally effective covert ops commander, but she is not above teasing her subordinates while valuing them deeply, even over her own life. She tried multiple times to ensure Task Force DEFY would continue to serve under the Commander in the event of her death, though ^AR AK-12AK-12  and ^AR AN-94AN-94  would have self-destructed rather than being led by another commander. Angelia doesn't hesitate to work in the field with her subordinates, which is why she ends up in dangerous situations and gets severely wounded to the point where her body is covered in scars and she has two mechanical limbs. She still cares about her appearance regardless: she was worried of the damages caused by ELID infection and found the design of her mechanical arm to be “clunky”.

As exemplified in her adjutant voice lines, she has no particular hobby and is not interested in socializing because her life revolves around her work. Despite this stoic disposition, she later found she like taking care of children.

Relationships

While she made many friends in the course of her work, most of them died prematurely.

Angelia has been working with Persica for years and they share a vitriolic friendship of sorts.

Angelia is close to Doctor Shaw, who calls her by her real surname “Anna”. Ange considered Shaw one of the rare persons even more hard-headed than her and disagreed about her perception of Dolls as inhuman tools.

Angelia clashed multiple time against Captain Yegor of KCCO during her career and the two shared a bitter hatred.

The nature of her work often forces Angelia to work with K. Though both find the other a pain to work with due to slightly differing objectives and methods, K was one of the few people Angelia did not believe could be a Paradeus spy.

After seeing them operate in the four-way fight between Griffin, the KCCO, Sangvis Ferri and Paradeus, Ange has a high opinion of the Commander, and would later come to consider them her closest ally, though she was frustrated by their lack of suspicion towards Machlian. The Commander went to great length to assist Angelia and later to save her from Paradeus.

Story Involvement

"This is classified information!"

This article contains unmarked spoilers. You have been warned.

During her time as a Griffin & Kryuger Commander, which she remembered fondly, Angelia worked with AR Team during the raid of Safe House 3 but later had their memories of her wiped. As a result, ^AR M4A1M4A1  sensed only a vague familiarity when meeting Angelia again while ^AR M4 SOPMOD IIM4 SOPMOD II  remembered more about her personality. Angelia was also involved in the Butterfly Incident of 2062 and collaborated with Persica in investigating the reasons behind the incident, sending her confidential files about the 2057 terrorist child attacks against Griffin bases.

Angelia considers Squad 404 to be her personal black ops team, while ^SMG UMP45UMP45  views Angelia as nothing more than a necessary investor and ally to take revenge on the perpetrators of the Butterfly Incident.

Building the Wolf Pack

The Wolf Pack Project, which eventually led to the formation of Task Force DEFY, was purpose-built to be commanded by Angelia, and the T-Dolls of the project were designed by Angelia's friend Doctor Shaw. Around that time, Shaw outfitted Ange with a mechanical prosthetic to replace an arm she had lost. However, Angelia disagreed with Shaw's inhumane treatment of her creations, especially the prototype ^AR AN-94AN-94 . After the incident between AN-94 and ^AR AK-15AK-15  where 94 provoked 15 in duel, Ange attempted to talk with Shaw about the human side of Dolls and the negative impact of her rejection on AN-94, but Shaw refused any conversation on the topic. While Shaw surmised that her masterpiece AK-15's brute strength was sufficient to handle any mission, Ange put forward that a Doll capable of leadership and tactical flexibility would be able to surpass her. This successfully provoked Shaw into putting serious efforts into building ^AR AK-12AK-12  to prove AK-15's superiority. Ange also suggested Shaw listens to an upcoming lecture from Persica about third-generation Dolls. When 12 overcame 15's brute strength with her tactical acumen in a duel, Angelia was proven right.

After the Incident Zero of 12 February 2062 negatively impacted the reputation of the Wolf Pack Project, Angelia took charge of the modified Wolf Pack, consisting of AK-12 and AN-94 instead of AK-15, and went on many successful operations, repairing the reputational damage caused by Incident Zero. Ange never commanded AK-15 and the last DEFY member ^MG RPK-16RPK-16  until years later.

After the battle between Griffin and Sangvis Ferri in Area S09, Angelia sent Squad 404 recover ^AR ST AR-15ST AR-15 's body parts as she wanted her skills for Task Force DEFY. Around this time, she also came close to be killed by Agent and Elisa.

At some point, Angelia infiltrated Sangvis Ferri's Base 0, leaving a beacon to guide Persica toward files of interest for the day she would turn her attention there in her search for Lycoris' legacy. After recovering the file, Persica contacted Angelia and hired Squad 404 through her to recover a drone containing the data extracted at Base 0. She also asked Angelia to help M4A1 as best she could during the joint operation between Griffin & Kryuger and the KCCO against Sangvis Ferri. Assuming the identity of a Captain of the KCCO's 17th Recon Squadron, Angelia helped M4A1 enter Military territory and get back to the Commander. M4A1 admitted to Angelia she had not thought of any plan and was only acting on her will to get revenge on Sangvis Ferri. Angelia told M4A1 that because she was unique as T-Doll and could make her own decisions, she would suffer the consequences of her own action, but would become stronger this way and eventually achieve her objective. She left M4 in a nearby outpost and anonymously gave her position to the Commander. She then headed out into the battlefield with DEFY to tap into KCCO transmissions and try to discover the motives behind the joint operation.

Joint assault

After the KCCO betrayed Griffin, Angelia sent another anonymous transmission to the Commander, presenting herself as Persica's ally and asking for M4's coordinates. The Commander complied and Angelia sent AR-15 and ^AR AK-12AK-12  recover M4A1 while herself and ^AR AN-94AN-94  breached the KCCO servers in search of intel about OGAS. After AR-15, M4A1 and AK-12 linked up with her and AN-94, Ange revealed to M4 that the case she had inherited from ^AR M16A1M16A1  was a portable cannon and lifted the securities that prevented its use. She however refused to give M4 permission to search for the rest of AR Team since she needed her to carry DEFY's own mission of capturing Elisa, as she was planning to exploit Elisa's interest in M4 to lure her out. Angelia contacted Persica and relayed her findings about her boss Havier Witkin being implicated in a mission with OGAS, and they worked out possible ties with the Butterfly Incident and a man named William by collating information. After being joined by Squad 404, she tasked them with infiltrating Sangvis Ferri's servers for more intelligence and negotiated with Agent to arrange an encounter between Elisa and M4 in exchange for sparing the Commander's life.

Despite Angelia uncovering more information about KCCO's goals, StateSec refused to provide her support and DEFY because of the diplomatic risks of making the Neo-Soviet Union's infighting visible to the rest of the world. When pushed by Persica and Angelia to provide more information about OGAS and the Butterfly Incident, Witkin reluctantly accepted to intervene and had an airdrop made for Angelia containing an asset to face the overwhelming numbers of the KCCO: a set of Collapse bombs. Using the bombs would result in a fallout that would be dangerous to herself but not the Dolls. Angelia also warned M4 against going too far on her quest for vengeance and power. Impressed by the protracted defense the Commander had maintained against Sangvis Ferri, she asked them to assist in Elisa's capture by attacking the advancing KCCO forces. As the encounter between M4 and Elisa turned violent, KCCO Captain Yegor revealed he had been monitoring Angelia's transmissions and the KCCO rushed in to capture Elisa. Ange ordered M4 to activate the Collapse bombs, causing damage to the KCCO troops but also exposing Angelia and the Commander to ELID.

Surviving ELID

Angelia last-chance bluff against Yegor.

Angelia last-chance bluff against Yegor.

Separated from her team, with short-range transmissions down because of radiations, trapped in an area with many ELID-infected KCCO soldiers and having effectively betrayed StateSec by using the Collapse bombs against orders, Angelia was contacted by Persica and Havier to find a way of evacuating her. Havier sent newly developed Heavy Ordnance Corps to assist her, but Angelia insisted he sent them to the Commander instead, as she thought they were more deserving to survive the operation. Angelia then tried to fight her way through the approaching ELIDs and was saved by AK-12 and AN-94, who had left the capture of Elisa to M4 and AR-15 to search for Angelia. Angelia ordered them to leave the battlefield without her as their chances to escape both KCCO and ELIDs with the weakened Angelia was slim, but AK-12 rejected the order, thinking it unfit for Angelia's usual headstrong attitude. AK-12 even pointed her weapon at Angelia to kill her on the spot if she truly considered the situation to be without hope.

12's show of dedication convinced Angelia to try and survive and DEFY went north, away from the source of radiations. At a communication outpost, Angelia talked to Persica and the Commander, introducing herself to them for the first time and directing them to Witkin's evacuation point so they could leave the area for their safety before trying to save her, and so they could take over DEFY if she died. The transmission was cut short by Yegor who announced he was coming to finish Angelia, so Angelia transferred the data she found during the battle to the Commander for safekeeping. Using signal flares, the Commander steered DEFY and Angelia toward a Yellow Zone with less radiations to regroup with their own rescue team, but Ange passed out on the way and the teams had to stop to resuscitate her. While seeing ^AR HK416HK416  and SOPMOD II strengthened Angelia's will, she passed out again when the teams ran away from the KCCO tanks and they had to stop again in another building. Making use of 416 and SOP-II's abilities to disguise their IFF as Sangvis Ferri units, combined with DEFY's camouflage and Ange's weak lifesigns, AK-12 arranged for a distraction to steer the KCCO units away from their position while concealing Angelia's position.

Yegor quickly saw through the ploy and Angelia considered the possibility to surrender, but the Commander made use of a Military doctor captured by 416 and SOP-II's decoy group, disguising her as Angelia to further trick Yegor. Meanwhile, DEFY would prepare IEDs from HOC ammos to rig the building with explosives and force Yegor to leave if he entered. Yegor stretched his troops thin in an effort to cover all possibilities before realizing he had been tricked when the decoy teams abandoned the fake Angelia and went back to the building, now secured by the Dolls and HOCs. Yegor ordered an attack and managed to enter before DEFY could wire the IEDs to the detonator.

In a last-chance bluff, Angelia ordered the Dolls to retreat to the roof, and sitting in a chair to support her body weakened by ELID, faced Yegor with an empty sidearm and the useless detonator. As Yegor's troops inspected the building and discovered the IEDs, Angelia claimed she had led Yegor into a trap and would not only detonate the IEDs, but also another Collapse bomb hidden deeper in the building. Yegor's forces being unable to confirm the presence of another Collapse bomb because of the local radiations, Angelia put Yegor on the spot by asking him if he was ready to make more of his men shoulder the price of his personal vengeance. Yegor relented and pulled back his troops to let the Dolls and Angelia leave toward the Commander's safe house, but they had already been captured by Paradeus.

Due to receiving Angelia's confidential intel, the Commander was considered a security threat by the Bureau of State Security after they were rescued from Paradeus. With the support of Witkin, Director Zelinski decided to implicate the Commander further into the matter by tasking them with finding Angelia, who had been declared a traitor for using the Collapse bomb against orders and disappearing with confidential intel and DEFY, who were still considered property of StateSec.

Belgrade events

Angelia at the memorial to the victims of World War Three in Belgrade.

Angelia was offered to work secretly with the German Stasi under agent K, though she was considered an expendable pawn after being declared a traitor by StateSec. Ange and DEFY traveled to Belgrade, where peace talks between the Pan-European Union and Neo-Soviet Union were soon to be held. Ange visited the local World War Three memorial, where she lamented that the war had solved nothing about humanity's problems, and she scolded ^AR M4A1M4A1  who shared no sympathy for their sacrifices. M4 only replied that Angelia was becoming soft, but came to understand the need to respect sacrifices during the battle in Belgrade.

The Commander was independently deployed by StateSec in Belgrade, under the pretense of capturing Angelia there. They also met K, who presented himself as their information broker in the city. In reality, StateSec and K wanted the Commander's forces in Belgrade to act as a third party security force for the peace talks, not wanting to reveal their covert deployment of SateSec troops in a neutral country unless the situation got completely out of control. Since Ange would face danger alone in the city unless Griffin troops cooperated, the Commander was forced to comply. Angelia was also reticent about K putting the Commander in danger, but was powerless to stop him.

While AR-15 and AN-94 searched for Paradeus troops in the city to locate Pike node A-51-241, Ange, M4A1 and AK-12 monitored the presence of an unusual number of ELID infected near the containment walls of the city. Ange deployed M4 and 12 to assist the city guards against traitors aligned with Paradeus, but they couldn't prevent them from using explosives to destroy the wall and allow the infected to spread chaos in the city. With all of K's agents inside the city killed by Paradeus spies, Ange and DEFY were left alone to control the infected, in order for the Pike node recovery and Griffin's own mission to progress without interference. Despite Ange's distrust in the notion of kindness, M4's efforts to save guards despite the risk of revealing themselves allowed her to acquire friendly IFFs and enabled Ange to coordinate with Lieutenant Dragović to defend the city.

The Pike core was eventually recovered from Paradeus and Sangvis Ferri by the Commander, but K called off the original plan to hide it from the world, and instead ordered them to hand it over to StateSec. While Ange was furious to hear this, she wasn't willing to fight the Commander's troops to seize it. She tried to steal the Pike core soon after it changed hands but was captured by the Vympels outside Belgrade and imprisoned. With the attention of all factions shifting to the abandoned Paldiski Submarine Base, she was released to take part in the infiltration and the capture of the base with the Commander and K, her own mission being to capture all Paradeus data in the base while the Commander would prevent the activation of the Starfish installation.

Infiltrating Paldiski Submarine Base

Under Angelia's command, Task Force DEFY engage Yegor in an Ares mech in the depth of the Paldiski Submarine Base.

Ange, K and DEFY gave a wide berth to Tallinn when traveling to the Paldiski Submarine Base, only observing the KCCO armored trains that Griffin would later battle with from over 120km afar, then entered the base by sea. While K, ^MG RPK-16RPK-16  and ^AR AK-15AK-15  battled with Sangvis Ferri to access the main gate controls and allow Griffin inside, Angelia, ^AR AK-12AK-12  and ^AR AN-94AN-94  explored the lower levels of the base, but ended up cut from radio transmission and could not contact the Commander to provide intel as expected.

In the undergrounds of the base, Ange, 12 and 94 discovered young Nytos, who crashed the Neural Clouds of the T-Dolls as a preventive attack before Ange befriended them. Ange was then separated from 12 and 94 by automated quarantine measures after the power in the base was cut. Ange sent one of the young Nyto, Anna, through the crawlspace of the base's ceiling to bypass the quarantine doors and get help. Anna kidnapped ^AR G11G11 , allowing ^SMG UMP45UMP45  to find Ange by following her.

After Squad 404 lifted the quarantine, Ange warned the Commander and K that she had acquired key data about William and the Nyto subjects, including the potential location of William in the German city of Bremen. After backing up the data in both 45 and 12's Neural Clouds, Angelia sent the subjects back to the surface with Squad 404, then was lent command of AR Team from the Commander so she could confront, with them and DEFY, the four Ares mechs who had broken through Griffin's barricade and into the base. When three of the mechs were forced to battle the Sangvis Ferri ringleaders, Angelia sent AR Team stop Elisa from activating the Starfish, while herself and DEFY rushed after Yegor's mech deeper into the base to stop him from reaching the main control room. To ensure Elisa could not activate the Starfish, and that the KCCO mechs and SF troops would be destroyed, Ange asked the Commander to plant explosives on the base's sea valves and flood the base after five minutes.

Taking down Yegor

Because Angelia's original battle plan put her at risk, AK-12 submitted her own plan, giving them a 5% chance of success while avoiding to put Angelia in danger. Since the entire team was likely to be destroyed, Angelia promised she would pay for upgraded replacement bodies if ^SMG UMP45UMP45  did not empty her bank account after she gave her all her credentials in case she would be killed by Yegor, which 45 did.

With Yegor's mobility reduced in the cramped lower levels of the base, DEFY carried a suicide attack that destroyed his mech's legs as water started to seep into the base. While Angelia was not seen during the battle, she taunted Yegor by acknowledging the results of DEFY's attack on an open radio frequency, leading Yegor to believe that her plan was to force him to come out of the mech and kill him with a rifle shot from a concealed position. Yegor elected to remain in the mech and die from suffocation but Ange opened the cockpit and tried to interrogate him about KCCO's plans. While it is not shown, it is suggested she then killed him. Angelia then went back to the base's surface after recovering DEFY's neural cores, and she returned into K's custody.

With the young Nytos now under Griffin's protection, Angelia enlisted Squad 404 as their long-term guards. Because she was now the only one in possession of intel regarding William's whereabouts, Angelia was designated a prime person of interest to be protected and helped by the Promethean Rossartrists.

Investigating Bremen

Angelia overlooks the riots in the Bremen refugee settlement.

Angelia's next goal was to track down William, hiding in the German city of Bremen according the intel at Paldiski. Since their objectives aligned, K provided Angelia German travel passes and fake IDs, arranged for AK-12 and AK-15 to be airdropped into the city to avoid problems with border control due to their appearance, and prepared safe houses and intel while also promising not to involve the Stasi in her investigations. Disguised as a refugee with AN-94 and RPK-16, Angelia entered Bremen after staging a preventive shake-off operation at the city's gates, where they neutralized three agents from a gang unrelated to her mission.

After her arrival, Gilda Ulrich requested to talk with Ange, hoping they could share intel, but Ange was wary of Paradeus spies and did not agree to share intel until her mission in Bremen was finished. Ulrich provided Ange the service of two of her subordinates, her secretary Morridow Voigt and chief of security Wolfgang Hopps. However, Ange trusted neither and as she noticed more and more discrepancies in their behavior, she started planning to reveal both of their true identities.

Ange first investigated Bremen's Flora Institute, the point of origin of crates filled with Epiphyllum flowers infected with Collapse radiation found by the Commander in the Yellow Zones of Area S09. While DEFY infiltrated the institute, Ange, Morridow and Hopps, presenting themselves as PECMAR inspectors, interrogated senior researcher Leone, but were poisoned with hallucinatory mutated pollen at the same time as AN-94 and AK-15 discovered the hidden labs where the radioactive Epihylla were cultivated and armed troops were waiting to attack them. However, the troops were untrained Flora cultists armed by Paradeus, who had mounted a fast reaction team after being warned on short notice of Ange's surprise visit, but not of the presence of DEFY. Since they were easily neutralized, DEFY concluded that the trap only served to gauge Ange and DEFY's threat level. In her hallucinations, Angelia re-lived the moment where she was alone in ELID territory after the Collapse bomb explosions, and nearly killed Morridow with her handgun, thinking she was an infected, before DEFY and J's team intervened.

After a mission where Squad 404 and Anna were deployed in an abandoned Zeratul-Worcester Pharmaceutical plant, Anna recovered some memories of the time she was sold by her orphanage to “Uncle Powell”, a child trafficker working for Paradeus. Matching the clue with Leone's call list, Angelia next visited the Berle Orphanage outside Bremen, but found the director dead soon after arriving. After dispatching DEFY to investigate, Ange befriended the director's protégé, who revealed the director had hidden key evidence in her doll while repairing it before her suicide. Using a bluff to lead the culprit to reveal himself, Ange was able to reveal the death as a suicide disguised as a burglary-related murder, in an effort to conceal the suicide letter which revealed that the orphanage was selling children to Powell. The culprit tried to kill Ange but was killed by Hopps instead, inadvertently ruining J's own long-term investigation on the child trafficking network. Deciding J was trustworthy, Ange passed on the account numbers hidden by the director, to be used by J and K in their own investigations on Paradeus.

Bremen refugee settlement riots

Angelia confronts Morridow.

With no other lead available, Angelia decided to track down Powell himself into the dangerous Bremen refugee settlement. After taking down Mobile Einsatkommando traitors affiliated with the GIP extremists trying to stop them from reaching Powell, Ange and DEFY tried to capture Powell in the church serving as the refugee support center, but they were discovered and Powell escaped in the shootout, forcing Angelia, Hopps, J and Morridow to barricade in the church, waiting for Ulrich to dispatch an evacuation helicopter while DEFY tracked down Powell from the rooftops. However, they were soon forced to abandon their position after Powell's own forces started a riot in the settlement, and sent suicide-bombing automatons towards the church.

To escape the pollen being poured in the streets to turn refugees into ELID infected, Ange's group used the rooftops to close in on Powell's position in the Bremen Ratskeller. Using Morridow's knowledge of the building, Ange's group intercepted Powell in the Ratskeller's safe house, but Hopps revealed himself as a double-agent of the GIP. Angelia had long identified Hopps as the mole who was leaking her movements in Bremen, and AK-15 and RPK-16 broke through the walls of the safe house to seize him. Despite dismantling the Flora Institute, seizing Powell and weakening the GIP, K and Angelia believed Paradeus had engineered the events and they had failed to destabilize William in any way.

With Hopps discovered, Ange next moved to reveal Morridow's true identity, having noticed her faked helplessness in dangerous situations, the concealed weapon she carried and her lack of physiological reaction to the pollen. With Morridow still convinced AK-12 and AN-94 had been lost in the riots, Ange secretly ordered AN-94 to monitor K while AK-12 would take control of the plane supposed to take Angelia and Morridow to Ulrich, instead steering it East, towards Magdeburg and the Neo-Soviet Army External Group Force. During the flight, Ange confronted Morridow, who revealed herself as a Paradeus spy and augmented human, who had planned to divert the plan south of Bremen into Paradeus territory, to interrogate Angelia and possibly recruit her. A fight broke out, Morridow's body being impervious to Angelia's handgun, but Angelia having more experience in CQC, letting her damage Morridow's mechanical arms with her combat knife. Emerging from the cabin of the plane, AK-12's AP rounds wounded Morridow in the leg and shoulder. She then forced open the emergency exit and destroyed one of the plane's rotors by throwing one of the seats before jumping down.

Morridow's kidnapping plan led Ange to believe William was still hiding in Germany. The intel gathered by the Stasi during her mission was intercepted by Dandelion, who used it to locate the coordinates of the mansion appearing in Lunasia's memories.
