Events[]
Early life[]
Avery was born when Remi Briggs was only 16 years old. She was placed for adoption by her grandmother, Ellen "Shepherd" Briggs. She saw Avery as a liability for her daughter and her plans. She had Rossi organize the adoption, which he later regretted.
Bob and Elsa Drabkin adopted Avery and gave her a good life.
Berlin, Germany[]
At a Berlin hotel, Avery helped Weller, who was trying to get help from a German receptionist. In fluent German, she convinced the man to ask around to see if anyone had seen Jane.
After Weller thanked Avery for her help, she mentioned that they were there looking for the same person; she took a picture of Jane from the bag and confessed that she was her mother.
As stubborn and determined as her mother, Avery followed Weller to an abandoned building. There, Avery confessed that she always knew she was adopted but got curious about her biological parents after her adoptive ones passed away not long ago.
At first, Avery was reluctant to believe her mother really loved her, otherwise she wouldn't have given her up for adoption but Weller reassured her that Jane wasn't a bad person and that she probably had a good reason to give up on her child.
Avery managed to convince Weller to take her with him to Max's hideout out of curiosity in case they found Jane there; however, Weller ordered her to stay at their place due to the risky situation they would encounter.

Disobeying Weller's orders, Avery walked into the dry cleaner store. She appeared to get shot in the abdomen by Weller, who thought he was aiming at an enemy. Weller tried to save her, but she appeared to die. Realizing he couldn't save her and he would be killed if he stayed any longer, he reluctantly fled the scene.
Weller was unaware that Avery, with help from Roman, had faked her own death. Roman could then use this incident as blackmail against Weller.

Patterson discovers a recent distress call from Avery that shows she is alive, held by German gang leader Dedrik Hoehne. Reade sends Jane and Weller to Berlin to save her. At Jane's insistence, he also sends K&R specialist Clem, much to Weller's dismay.
