Many years after the Omnic crisis had ended a somewhat peculiar news article had managed to headline in a multitude of popular Russian newspapers.
"Deranged Geneticist Clones Wife That Was Lost During Omnic Crisis"
That had been the world renowned Russian geneticist Viktor Annick. After the death of his beloved wife Anja at the hands of the Omnics he had retreated to the outskirts Yakutsk. Once there a single ray of hope had found its way through the grief stricken storm that had over taken his thoughts: an old, rundown government lab facility. In that moment the idea to resurrect his lost love was born. Months pursued with only failure after failure until the birth of the fifth Anja.
She had proven to be Viktor's first technical success, and his final push into madness. In the hours that followed the fifth Anja's life faded away with labored breathing. Viktor clung to his creation's hands while tears streamed down his face, and pleaded futilely to any god that would listen to his whole hearted wish. The moments that followed after her death were utter silence followed shortly after with a whirlwind of madness thrown to work.
And from the madness came the creation of the sixth Anja, "The Ultimate Success." By splicing together a few very specific genetic traits from the amur leopard and the Siberian tiger he had unintentionally created a dangerous existence.
