Elspeth came from Beluir, capital of Luiren. She was a member of an elite unit of "The Defenders of Beluir". Her unit was assigned to protect an emissar on the way to Calimshan, when the dread attack came. The unit was scattered and lonely Elspeth found one of the portals to the Sanctuary.
The first steps were marked by gratitude to the sanctuarians for the rescue. Elspeth tried to be a conscious citizen helping spellguard, auxilliarity and watchers.
During this time she made positive relationship to the dwarven engineer Toigan Strongdata and Auxulliary Alexei Ivanov. She seemed to her brave and clever and was glad that she can work with them.
But something went wrong and Toigan with Alexei were turned to criminals. Elspeth always makes her opinion by listening to both parties - and her sympathies remained on the Toigan's and Alexei's side.
Expedition into the bowels of machine were now led by agent Epps and auxilliary Obrist. Both of them were too fanatical for Elspeth's heart and she began to see Sanctuary as a despotic oligarchy under the control of selfish agents and their fanatical auxilliaries who desire only for power.
Once she was a witness of the conflict between Epps with Obrist and Toigan with Alexei. She didn't help Epps and Obrist and they scolded her. She felt insulted and told them, that se was neither their soldier nor their slave and that's why she will not help them to attack innocent people.
They asked Elspeth to leave Sanctuary and never return and proud Elspeth left Sanctuary.
After this came the period of uncertainty and seeking of friends. She tried to become familiar with the people around the Lower Sanctuary and its tavern, but they were not symphatic to her good and kind soul. And they often disregarded her. She left to the caves around low roads and tried to find allies in the "wilderness".
Living in such places was really dangerous and Elspeth was two times hard injured (by spiders and troglodyte). But she learned better and better how to live there and how to avoid combats... or how to turn her athetic and fighting abilities into her victory. The main experience was that for winning is very important to know well her enemies and fighting grounds. So started her scouting of "wild caves"... slow and patient.
During this time she met Shakti, who tried to lure her into their community called "Boons of Moldmire" under the control of the fey Tuthalek. It was a tempting suggestion but she tried to check every information. Not many people knew much about the Tuthalekans, but finally she met Ceres, Steward of the circle.
They had long discussion and after this Elspeth came to her new home - Shroomstalk forest - to live there and to help Ceres and Circle to protect life against abberations and Tuthalekans.
Elspeth was not officially excommunicated from the Sanctuary, so she has been visiting it time to time, mostly for the purpose of trade. Now, she didn't meet Epps or Obrist for months, so she is often visiting sanctuary. In the eyes of sanctuarians she is perhaps citizen, but in her eyes she is only a guest, traveler and trader.
She doesn't tell anybody about her relation to the circle and she never interferes into the things of sanctuary.
Soon she became a guardian of Stewards of the Ark, one of those who fought against Tulathek. All the time she was a secret agent of the Circle within the Sanctuary creating "The List of Shield Dwellers" containing list of most important inhabitants of Sanctuary, their relations to the circle and several almost psychological profiles (I believe that her best profile was about Abala).
