Annabelle Pham was born in San Jose, California and raised in an Asian immigrant household in Daly City. Growing up working class, her parents encouraged her to pursue her education while also helping raise her sickly younger brother, RJ. Playing softball and being a bit of a rebel, despite her shortcomings, Annabelle had the opportunity to attend an Ivy league college on a partial scholarship, which she rejected after her father's restaurant, Saigon Corner was vandalized and robbed.

Rather than use the money saved on her for school, she pushed her family to use it to repair their restaurant. Annabelle would choose to attend a 2 year college in a CTE program since it was more affordable, working part time in her family's restaurant while she searched for new employment.

While job searching, she became curious about the recruiters office in her neighborhood, and next thing she knew, she was in the army (much to her mother and father's disappointment.) She'd join up anyway, prompting her parents to disown her- despite the money she'd send regularly.

Anna's time in basic training had her confronted with many forms of discrimination- mostly for her small stature and sex. And in spite of these, she persisted. She would be deployed to Urzikstan in 2019.

At some point, a then Corporal, close to be promoted Annabelle Pham would meet CIA Station Chief Kate Laswell while fighting alongside SAC/SOG officer Alex Keller. Impressed by the young woman's resolve and improvisation, Laswell would choose Anna as one of the women she'd first suggest to join Taskforce 141 to John Price in the future. While hiding from enemy forces who'd kidnapped her in a foreign city, Annabelle's quick thinking kept her alive while her teammates were delayed on their rescue.

Facing dishonorable discharge after her outburst against her superior, Colonel Norris after the United States declared the ULF a terrorist group, Laswell would pull strings to void this and in the meantime, had her employed under the military contractors known as the Shadow Company, with a recommendation to General Shepard that put her right in the attention of Commander Phillip Graves. While they initially clashed, her personality and morale boosting quips eventually grew on him, and she became a favored member of the organization. At some point Anna's simple workplace crush would be stretched into something more, with Graves offering her a more lucrative role in the company, only for Anna to answer Laswell's call to join Taskforce 141.

Anna gained her callsign "Gremlin" from her unpredictable and unhinged behavior, christened by her fellow Sergeant Kyle "Gaz" Garrick. Hiding in walls, crawling in vents and ambushing enemies easily thanks to her small stature and the old fashioned element of surprise and a knack for destroying enemy equipment and radios.

Anna's first mission in the Taskforce had her reunite with Sergeant Garrick, meeting Captain Price for the first time and Captain Dhingra after an incident in Sakhra involving the Urzikstan Continental Hotel and several ambassadors held hostage. After a tricky maneuver saving the ambassador of Adal and France, Anna would find purpose in the taskforce and would eagerly join up any mission offered to her by her new comrades. She and Sergeant Garrick would make an inside joke of refusing to discuss "what happened in the Urzikstan Contintental."

With zeal, a "do it first, think later" attitude and an unwavering loyalty to those she cared for, Anna's clever thinking on the battlefield is only hindered by her emotional responses. After a heartbreaking betrayal from Phillip Graves in Las Almas and learning of his "demise", Anna would fail her mental health evaluation, and fall into a depression. Her last mission under the 141 would be under the secretive mission, "Operation Kingslayer", where she was tasked to rescue her friend and collegue Sergeant Major Hannah "Sparrow" Clayton after being captured by the Bolivian cartel. During this mission, unbeknownst to her, she'd become pregnant with the child of a newfound love- a neighbor named Peter Choi that her not so dead ex Phillip Graves had (without her knowledge) deported before revealing he was alive and attempted to recruit her into the Shadow Company.

It wouldn't be until after her son, Sylas Thomas "Tommy" Pham was born that Phillip would convince her to work for him- insisting he could provide for her and his son. Anna would be isolated from her old teammates and friends, Phillip grooming her to become his second in command while he made it seem like she had no other option.

By the time her fellow members of the 141 would see her again in the fall of 2023, she'd already be in the employment of the Shadow Company as Phillip Graves' second in command, the colloquial "Queen of Hearts" who seemed to be a shell of the once vibrant person she was before. During this time, isolated from her friends and mostly reliant on the man adamant on keeping her close, there was only one person Phillip trusted around his investment- his best friend and CIA operative, Karlos Martinez. Not only would Karlos help Anna see the authority and power Graves had bestowed upon her, but he would also vow to help Anna secure her place in the company...Even if it meant betraying Phillip Graves in an unforgiveable way.
