Dr. Elisabet Sobeck -- founder of Zero Dawn and the woman who saved mankind from extinction by the Faro Plague -- sacrificed her life in order to protect what remained of her friends when the protective doors to GAIA Prime wouldn't close, leaving the remaining Alphas exposed to the Faro Plague. Rather than wait out what's left of her life at her family's farm like in canon, she makes the long, arduous trek to the Project: Zero Dawn facility where they kept cryogenic pods, making out last-ditch effort to live to see a thriving Earth again.
A thousand years later, her clone Aloy discovered her cryogenically preserved body in the facility beneath Sunfall, and she returns to awaken her genetic progenitor after HADES is defeated and the Shadow Carja are driven off.
