Backstory

Elżbieta Bosak was born in Wrocław, Poland. She is the youngest daughter of Jan Bosak, former commander of the Polish Special Forces unit GROM. She is also the younger sister of Zofia Bosak. Growing up, her father favored Zofia, causing a rift between them. Despite this, Zofia was highly protective of her sister. Ela's grandfather played a significant role in her life. He would often share stories with her about his time as a Cichociemni of the exiled Polish Army during World War II and how he had endured a three-month-long siege of Breslau. He nurtured her defiant spirit and taught her that “higher damage is done by striking a supply chain than by neutralizing a man.” This defiant personality caused Ela to initially struggle to commit to the strict military lifestyle. Ela attended her father's military school along with her sister but often experienced several difficulties. She was bullied constantly due to the special attention she received as the GROM Commander's daughter. An incident six months before her graduation resulted in her expulsion. She had a short-lived transition in another academy, before her lack of attendance caused her to be transferred to a small local high school. After graduation, she left Poland behind and set out for Berlin to experience life on her own terms. There she studied Fine Arts, but her interest started to fade as the appeal of her old life slowly caught up with her. Her reputation for using military paraphernalia in her art attracted the owner of a small private security company, who offered her a job. Craving the adventure and financial independence, Ela accepted, hoping that her role as contractor would differ from the simplistic compliance she experienced at the military academy.

More Backstory

Working as a PMC, she was valued in the private sector for her expertise in survivalist tactics and unique adaptive style during protective detail and intelligence gather. Ela gained a reputation on the field during her first years of deployment in Iraq. Known to possess an impressive range of abilities, her attitude was the only obstacle standing in her way. While she was seen as a prized addition to any squad, her employers monitored her closely to investigate reports of authority issues. Four years after leaving Poland and following a rough operation in Baghdad, she received the news that her father had taken his own life. At her father's funeral, Ela felt that she had also buried what remained of her relationship with Zofia that day. A few months after her father's death, Ela terminated her contract and started training relentlessly to pass the GROM selection as a civilian. Impressed by her determination and prowess on the field, the GROM saw in her a rare opportunity and took her in. She then joined her father's unit as a way to keep his memory close and make amends. Amidst the Polish Forces, she developed an expertise in Countering Threat Networks (CTN) and helped design advanced exploitation methods to extract intel on a target's intentions and supply routes.One of her most well-known ventures is Operation Orange Sky. Joined by Valkyrie, SEAL's intel expert, Ela spent months infiltrating a warlord's inner circle before dismantling his network without harming a single civilian. Her collaboration with SEAL proved so fruitful that she was tracked down and recruited by Rainbow in 2017 a first for this international group of elite specialists. In 2022, Ela was placed on Team Kali for the Six Invitational. Reaching the finals, she faced off against Zofia, eventually resulting in Ela pushing both of them through one of the kill house's windows. With Zofia pinned on the ground, Ela held her at gunpoint and felt that their sisterhood was finally over.

More on backstory

With the Invitational's conclusion, Ela and her teammates accepted Kali's offer to leave Rainbow and join Nighthaven. As she was leaving, Zofia grabbed her arm and told her their father would be ashamed for her actions. Ela reminded her that their father died and that she left her alone and isolated for years. Speaking with Kali on the car ride away from the Stadium, Ela questioned her decision and the loyalty she had towards Rainbow and her sister. Kali told her to ask herself "who's been loyal to you". She was then comforted by James "Smoke" Porter who told her it took guts for her to follow her heart. He then welcomed Ela to the Nighthaven family.
