History

Sylvia Elliot was a Precentor within ComStar who rose to reach the rank of Preceptor. She appears to have served a long time at ComStar, but defected the group after the Battle of Tukayyid, joining the Word of Blake.

Operation Odysseus

Elliot played a secondary but important part in the preparation of Operation ODYSSEUS, the Blakist recovery of Terra. After Preceptor Suzanne Mulvanery led a full division of Blakists to planet Nestor, they took captive the dependents of the mercenary unit 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 the 4 December 3057, Mulvanery forced to the mercenary's leader, Colonel Evelena Haskell, to land on Nestor, isolated for some months. After Terra had fallen, taken from inside from a fake Lancers, Mulvanery freed the Lancers, telling them to travel to Gibson and recover their dependants. The 12 April 3058, they arrived. Sylvia received Haskell, carrying her to see her captive son. She showed sympathy for the mercenaries's worries, and even excused herself for the Blakist's actions, and explained than they hadn't been harmed.

Death

Elliot, as all the Word, clearly had underestimated the Lancer's fury to their actions: the 24th April 3058, the main body of the mercenaries landed again on Gibson... to take revenge. Their forces destroyed all Blakist they found, and razed their base. Elliot faced Haskell, but even despite her 'Mech's superior tonnage, simply wasn't a rival for the raging Colonel. Elliot excused again the Word's actions, trying to explain them... but haskell didn't want to listen: in a cockpit shot, she killed the Preceptor. Elliot, judging for her likes, was about 50 years old when she died.

BattleMech

During her last battle, she piloted a heavy Grand Titan.
