 Background:

Anya Fortier was born on October 10th, 1973 in Boston, Massachusetts. Anya grew up in Boston for pretty much all of her childhood. Despite never caring too deeply about school, she was a good student and ended up in the top 15% of her high school. Even though her attitude towards academia was apathetic at best, and her father encouraging her to go to trade school over traditional college, she pursued a bachelor's degree in Information Technology at the University of Massachusetts at Boston.

Even after she completed her degree, Anya floated around for a while. No job she could take really interested her. After a month or so after college, Anya ended up joining the U.S. Army and was placed into the Signal Corps shortly after. 

She found immense satisfaction in her work and stayed in the army for 16 years and when she was 23, she gained the callsign of ‘Guardian’ after jokes about her acting like a guardian dog and/or a guardian angel ended up sticking.

However, Anya started looking for work outside the army in her 14th year. This opportunity ended up coming in the form of TITAN Security Corporation who contacted her at the middle of her 16th year and offered her a position in their special operations force and she accepted the position, ending her time in the U.S. Army.

Anya completed TSOT near the top of her class and was placed into Zephyr squad and continued her field work for 9 years, completing multiple successful operations during this time, until Operation Vertex Gambit.

Operation Vertex Gambit was a highly controversial operation that meant to locate and safely destroy volatile materials. This operation was unsuccessful and resulted in the entirety of Zephyr Squad sustaining severe injuries and eventually led to the team's disbanding.

Anya, specifically, was caught in a blastwave that left most of her right leg and arm with 3rd degree burns and her torso and her right cheek with 2nd degree burns. Recovery from these injuries took an extremely long time and even after multiple months, side effects such as chronic pain and extremely reduced mobility prevented Anya from returning to field work.

TITAN, hesitant to lose an individual with as much experience as Anya, offered her a position as a mission coordinator. Deciding her degree and signal corps experience would be utilized best if she agreed (despite not having any desire to pursue mission coordination), Anya took up the role of a mission coordinator.

During her retraining process, her ability to remain calm, maintain clear communication, and assist in coordinating multiple units (if need be) eventually led to her being placed as the coordinator for the newly formed Combat Search and Rescue (CSAR) unit, Seraphim Squad.
