Eloise Pritchart
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Eloise Pritchart is a fictional character in David Weber´s Honorverse series of novels.
A native of the People's Republic of Haven, she was a high-ranking member of the April Tribunal movement, a terrorist organization that fought the excesses of the Legislaturalist regime. When the Legislaturalists were toppled, she sided with the Committee of Public Safety and became a People's Commissioner within the Navy.
She was assigned as Admiral Javier Giscard´s Commissioner and began a romantic affair with him, but managed to fool Oscar Saint-Just and State Security by reporting that she had a really bad working relationship with the admiral.
After Admiral Theisman's coup, she became the provisional President of Haven, and was then confirmed on the job after winning Haven's first free elections in centuries. During her presidential term, the Republic of Haven's original Constitution was restored and true democracy returned. During the early days of her Presidency, she attained a truce with the Manticoran Alliance. However, due to the unfortunate interference of Haven's own Secretary of State Arnold Giancola who was tampering with the correspondence Pritchart was having with Queen Elizabeth, the truce ended and hosilities resumed.
