Elisabet Sobeck

Elisabet Sobeck is the posthumous overarching protagonist of the Horizon franchise.
Brilliant and talented, Sobeck is one of the most influential and legendary Old World scientists in Aloy's world, whose achievements were undeniable and exceptional, including stopping the climate crisis of 2040 known as the Die-Off and the founding of green company known as Miriam Technologies.
Sobeck would later spearhead the creation of a top-secret terraforming system known as Project Zero Dawn through a hyper-intelligent AI known as GAIA and its Subordinate Functions, in order to save life on Earth from the existential threat of out-of-control machines known as the Faro Plague. Her lasting efforts later saved Earth and gave humanity a second chance.
Nearly 1,000 years later, Sobeck's genetic code would soon be used by GAIA to create Aloy after HADES became a rogue AI, bent on using the ancient MINERVA technology to start the second Faro Plague, which was soon averted by the Nora Huntress and her allies, thus saving life on the tribal Earth and ending a second, permanent extinction.
She is voiced by and modeled after Hannah Hoekstra. Burch and Hoekstra also played Aloy and Beta in the same series, while the former also voiced other characters such as Chloe Price from Life is Strange.
==Appearance==
Sobeck is a middle-aged woman with short red hair and green eyes. Her outfit consists of a futuristic-looking grey blouse and pants, as well as a blue shirt on the inside, and black shoes.
==Personality==
Sobeck was a brilliant and compassionate scientist who committed her life to bettering the world in which she lived, a trait that was heavily influenced from her mother Miriam, when she was only a child. Her strong desire to make a good difference prompted her to use her tremendous knowledge in robotics and engineering to pursue a career building robots that were both environmentally friendly and helpful to humans.
Her principles led her to be adamantly opposed to the use of technology in military applications, which is why she left Faro Automated Solutions when the business planned to enter the military technology industry, growing disillusioned of its questionable business practices. Sobeck despised individuals like Ted Faro, who were solely concerned with their public image and earnings at the price of their lives.
Sobeck was tenacious in her pursuit of the completion of Project Zero Dawn and the restoration of life following its extinction. For her, the massive death toll inflicted by the Faro Plague was a source of immense anguish. She placed a high value on empathy, noting that in order for GAIA to perform its duty, it needed to be able to feel emotions and care for people. Above all, she was selfless and determined, willing to give her life to preserve Zero Dawn and her fellow Alphas.
Sobeck, on the other hand, struggled to connect with people, as she was a workaholic who rarely shared her burden.
==Quotes==
==Trivia==
* Elisabet Sobeck's surname is derived from the ancient Egyptian god Sobek, the god of fertility and the military, with the former alluding to Sobeck's desire to save Earth from global extinction through GAIA and give it a second chance.
** One part of Sobek's occupation as the Egyptian god of military is completely ironic for Sobeck, considering that she is vehemently opposed of militarisation of technology, as shown when she left FAS due to the direction of the company.
* Elisabet would have had to travel at least 270 miles (434 km) in real-life to reach her house in Carson, Nevada, given that the game is set in a shrunk-down version of Utah and Colorado.
* When GAIA inquired about the possibility of having children, Elisabet expressed her desire for a daughter who was curious, wilful, and compassionate. In the form of Aloy, Elisabet would obtain such a daughter after her death, nine centuries later.
