History[edit]
Sylvia Elliot was a Precentor within ComStar. She appears to have served a long time at ComStar, but defected from the group after the Battle of Tukayyid, joining the Word of Blake.[1]
Operation ODYSSEUS[edit]
Elliot played a secondary but important part in the preparation of Operation ODYSSEUS, the Blakist recovery of Terra. After Precentor Suzanne Mulvanery led a full division of Blakists to planet Nestor, they took captive the dependents of the mercenary Twenty-first Centauri Lancers, who weren't in the system, sending them to Gibson, where Elliot took care of them for several months. When the Lancers arrived on Nestor on 4 December 3057, Mulvanery forced the mercenaries' leader, Colonel Evelena Haskell, to land on Nestor, isolated for some months.[2]
After Terra had fallen, taken from inside by a fake Lancers unit, Mulvanery freed the Lancers, telling them to travel to Gibson and recover their dependents. On 12 April 3058, they arrived. Sylvia received Haskell, taking her to see her captive son. She expressed sympathy for the mercenaries' worries, and even apologized for the Blakists' actions, and explained that they hadn't been harmed.[1]
Death[edit]
Elliot, as with all the Word, clearly underestimated the Lancers' fury at their actions; on 24 April 3058, the main body of the mercenaries landed again on Gibson... to take revenge. Their forces destroyed all Blakists they found and razed the Blakist base. Elliot faced Haskell, but even despite her 'Mech's superior tonnage, she simply wasn't a match for the raging Colonel Haskell. Elliot again apologized for the Word's actions, trying to explain them... but Evelena didn't want to listen; with a cockpit shot, she killed the Precentor. Elliot, judging from her appearance, was about 50 years old when she died.[3]
BattleMech[edit]
During her last battle, she piloted a Grand Titan.[4]
