Elisabet Sobeck

Elisabet Sobeck is a character from the Horizon series.
== Charactah Account ==
Elisabet Sobeck was an American scientist, roboticist, and engineer. Brilliant and talented, with a deep altruistic concern for the world, Elisabet spent her entire career at the forefront of efforts to use technology to reduce and reverse the impact of global damage to the environment.
On learning of the unstoppable existential threat to life on Earth that was what became known as the Faro Plague, Elisabet proposed and successfully oversaw the development and implementation of Zero Dawn. This was a global terraforming system which, long after life was exterminated, neutralized the Faro Plague, made the planet again habitable, and restored life to it, including humans.
Furthermore, centuries after her death, Elisabet's genetic code was used by GAIA, the terraforming system’s central artificial intelligence, to create Aloy, a young Nora huntress who successfully stopped the Faro Plague’s reactivation, and thus saved life from a second, permanent extermination.

== Trivia ==
* As with the naming of Ted Faro (Pharaoh) and his company's line of robots (Chariot line), Elisabet's name appears to be a reference to ancient Egypt, and also to the Old Testament. Her family name, Sobeck, is a variation on Sobek, who was a crocodile-headed Egyptian god of both fertility and the military. Her given name derives from the Hebrew name, Elisheva. In the Old Testament, Elisheva was the wife of Aaron, brother of Moses and ancestor of the Jewish high priests. After her death, Elisheva was buried in the Tomb of the Matriarchs. Adding to the list of apparent references, the company she formed after leaving Faro Automated Solutions appears to be named after Aaron's sister, Miriam.
* Given that the area the game is set is in Utah and Colorado, Elisabet would have had to walk at least 270 miles to reach her home in Nevada.
* When asked by GAIA about the prospect of children, Elisabet said she would have liked to have a daughter, who was curious, willful, and compassionate. Elisabet would posthumously gain such a daughter in the form of Aloy.
