Elżbieta "Ela" Bosak is a Defending Operator featured in Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege, introduced in the Operation Blood Orchid expansion. She has low armour, high mobility, and the unique ability to use Grzmot Mines, sticky concussion mines that impair hearing and cause a dizzying effect.

Born 8 November 1985 in Wroclaw, Elżbieta Bosak is the youngest daughter of Jan Bosak, former commander of the Polish Special Forces unit GROM. Experiencing difficulties attending military high school, Ela left Poland after graduation. She studied Fine Arts in Berlin, but her interest faded as the appeal of her old life caught up with her. Craving the adventure and financial independence, Ela accepted a job offer from a private military company.

Working as a PMC in Iraq, Ela gained a reputation for possessing an impressive range of abilities, and a defiant attitude. While she was a prized addition to any squad, her employers monitored her closely to investigate reports of authority issues. Four years into her deployment, she received the news from home that her father had taken his own life.

A few month's after her father's death, Ela terminated her contract and started training to pass GROM selection as a civilian. Impressed by her determination and prowess on the field, the GROM saw in her a rare opportunity. Amidst the Polish Forces, she developed an expertise in Countering Threat Networks (CTN) and helped design advanced Exploitation methods to extract intel on a target's intentions and supply routes.

Independent, creative, and rebellious, Elżbieta is intimate with the risks involved with her particular role, having suffered many losses in Iraq. The sudden death of her father provided her with a profound need of purpose. Elżbieta internalized the belief that she must prove posthumously her worth to her father and make amends. She uses her memory of him to push herself to unrealistic standards and to lead high-risk operations.
