Angel Kills Her Mother – Borderlands 2/3

At first, it’s believed that Angel is simply an AI built by Handsome Jack and Hyperion to aid in locating the Warrior’s Vault. It’s later revealed that she’s Jack’s daughter, who was locked away due to her Siren powers. In the past, a bandit named Grogmouth had kidnapped Angel in order to sell her off. As Jack attempts to have her released, she would commandeer Grogmouth’s turrets with her powers and kill him but also killed her mother in the process. That led to Angel being confined for years, using her abilities in service of her now-deranged father’s goals.
