Elaine Komandorski
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Elaine Komandorski, k.a.a. Georgia Sakristos, k.a.a. Lady Georgia Young, Countess of North Hollow, is an escaped genetic slave (original ID number unknown) who is a fugitive from both the law as well as a group of her fellow freed slaves. She is a fictional character in the Honorverse. She appears in the novels: Field of Dishonor, and War of Honor
Elaine Komandorski was the name taken by a genetically engineered pleasure slave who had been on the run from the freed slave organization, the Audubon Ballroom, because she had gained her freedom as well as passage from Solarian space by selling out a freighter of escaped slaves for a half-million Solarian credits.
Komandorski went on to become one of the most wanted criminals in Landing City, with crimes ranging from industrial espionage to con jobs. Outside of those white collar crimes she was linked at least two murders; one of a Landing City criminal fraud detective; in addition to being linked to the "suicide" of yet another man, presumably part of an effort to cover her tracks before she would switch identities yet again. The only man alive who knows her true identity is her biosculpt technician who removed the ID tag on her tongue.
She resurfaced in the Honorverse as Georgia Sakristos, the beautiful and resourceful protegeé of Lord Dmitri Young, Earl of North Hollow. She would later serve as the aide and lover of his son Pavel Young and assist him in his efforts to destroy then Countess Honor Harrington. She undertook the hiring of Denver Summervale through a middleman and after Pavel's death, as the wife and Lady of his younger brother Stefan Young, organised the smear campaign directed at Harrington and Hamish Alexander, Earl of White Haven.
Her string-pulling and delicate dirty-tricks maneuvering earned her political clout and authority within the Conservative Association that exceeded even that of her husband's, who was widely considered the less formidable of the two.
She disappeared, simultaneously destroying the fabled "North Hollow Files", after a private meeting with Catherine Montaigne, the former countess of Tor, and her lover Anton Zilwicki in which they revealed their knowledge of her true identity and made a deal with her. In essence they would give her a seventy-two hour head start before telling the Audubon Ballroom of her whereabouts in exchange for her leaving the Star Kingdom (effectively depriving the Conservative Association of her services) and on her way out see to it that the North Hollow Files were "misplaced" for good. As added incentive Zilwicki offered not to inform Duchess Harrington of her role in the death of Paul Tankersley and the hiring of Denver Summervale.
