Beth Walker

## Summary

Beth Walker was the First Lady of the United States, as the wife of President Alexander Walker. Beth was a driving force behind her husband's political career. Coming from a prominent Oregon banking family that was the wealthiest in the state and was famous for having her uncle serving as Governor of Oregon, and her father as a mayor. Beth went to Harvard where she met a young Walker. Although being initial rivals due to their studies and believes the two formed a relationship and got married after graduation. Although Beth only kept up the appearance of a loving spouse once Walker entered the high-key attention office of VP, she only did so to keep up her husbands' "America's favourite Vice-President profile. As Beth was quite ruthless and pragmatic in her own right. She was the head and chief executive of a large and prominent NGO that dealt with humanitarian missions in Africa only as a cover. They were truly transporting illegal materials for sale, alongside weapons for profit and to arm insurgents that often served her NGO and rarely her husband's operations. She was much more morally corrupt then her husband and had a deep disdain and hatred for Alexander's friend Eid Revord due to Alexander and Eid's initial rivalry in their private sector days and attempted sabotage of each other. Upon becoming First Lady she would resign her positions at her NGO and give it up to subordinates. She was horrified at the prospect of Revord becoming Secretary of State and had to compete with him for influence in the Oval Office which she almost certainly always lost in battles. Although she allianated many such as Landry and Revord, and often she and Walker's relationship was described as "midly rocky", they were extremely close in sharing secrets and Walker would confide in her when he had no one else and vice-versa. When she became First Lady she would spend her days promoting her husband's profile in schools around the country and was noted for working with Congress to pass an Education Bill that would benefit children from a more sheldom background as well as having a voice in the choice of Secretary of Education.

Following her husband's assassination, Beth fell into despair to protect their children and her own legacy even more. She committed suicide after realizing both the horror of what the new CIA Director Reynolds was planning and her own disastrous surrondings and being left with no allies.

## As Second Lady of the United States

Upon becoming Vice-President, Alexander ordered Horton to take care of African progressive politician Intila Haity who was "too pure" for politics, attempting to expose how his wife was using her NGO only as a cover front for their inner circle to influence youngsters and transport weapons to enforcers on the continent. Beth also assisted her husband get over his grief that was brought with the passing of his close friend and poltical advisor William Cooper, who served with Alexander in the military.

Later Beth would come in conflict with Alexander for considering to appoint Revord's brother as his Special Advisor for Economic affairs. She was already disgusted by the fact that Eid Revord was Secretary of State. Beth was fiercely loyal to her own believes and saw this as yet another victory for Revord. Alexander tried to reassure her and re-explained the advantages of having a partnership with Revord rather than a renewed and bitter rivalship that Beth was seemingly strangely pushing for. Upon Beth's suggestion that Walker ordered Horton to assassinate Revord, Walker ended the conversation.

Interesting note: Beth Walker was often nicknamed "MacBeth Walker" by allies and enemies of the Walkers, who associated her too much with the character from Shakespeare's play
