[edit] History

Kristen Bergman was a Swedish opera singer who had a long affair with Mikkos Cassadine. Her real name was Kristin Nilsson, but she was best known as Bergmen, which was her stage name. As a prodigee of Mikkos', she had a very successful career for about a decade. Mikkos tried to protect Kristen by hiding her but Helena Cassadine, Mikkos' wife, caught up with Kristen eventually. They had two daughters, Alexis and Kristina. Helena slit her throat and ripped out her vocal cords in front of Alexis. Helena placed the stiletto in Kristen's hand so that when the authorities came, her death would look like a suicide.

Helena did not know of Kristina's existence when she murdered Kristin. Alexis hid Kristina and left her to help their mother. After watching Helena brutally murder her mother, Alexis returned to find her sister. She was missing. Kristina was later reunited with Alexis after Jax found her in Europe. Alexis then told Kristina all she knew of her mother, including the diamond and sapphire necklace Kristin was wearing when Helena killed her.
