Angel, known to the Vault Hunters as the Guardian Angel, is a Siren with the ability known equally Phaseshifting, which grants her technopathy that allows her to initially (and credibly) pass herself off as an AI. She is a woman with pale pare, black hair and piercing blueish eyes.

Background

Angel is the daughter of Hyperion programmer Handsome Jack (then known simply as 'Jack'), and an unnamed adult female. During her early childhood, Angel'southward Siren tattoos manifested on her arm, much to the surprise of Jack. Angel also demonstrated her newfound powers by using Phaseshift to fix a broken vending car.

At some point after her powers manifested, a bandit named Grogmouth captured Angel, intending to sell her due to her condition as a Siren. While Jack pleaded with the bandit to release her, a frightened Angel used her Phaseshift power to take control of Grogmouth's turrets. Though she was successful in killing Grogmouth, Angel's mother was also unintentionally killed in the process, much to the horror of Angel and Jack.

Post-obit this, Jack chose to sequester Affections by tethering her to a chair connected to the Hyperion network, including every Hyperion satellite in the milky way. This would grant Angel a near-omniscient view of multiple star-systems simultaneously, with her Siren powers allowing her to command any engineering science located inside them. Angel would spend the next several years acting under the direction of Jack to further Hyperion's interests. Presently after the Dahl withdrawal from Pandora, Jack began orchestrating a plan to seize the planet from Atlas. Seeing an opportunity, Jack ordered Angel to recruit 4 newly arrived Vault Hunters, leading to the events of Borderlands.
