| Doctor '''Elisabeth "Elsie" Bray''' was a member of [[House Bray]], the daughter of [[Clovis Bray II]] and [[Sylvie Bray]], and sister of [[Wilhelmina Bray|Wilhelmina]], [[Alton Bray|Alton]], and [[Anastasia Bray|Anastasia]]. She worked for her family's [[Clovis Bray (corporation)|corporation]] as a starship and weapons engineer before joining her grandfather [[Clovis Bray I]] at the [[Eventide]] colony on [[Europa]] to assist on the [[Exo]] project. Elsie became one of the first Exos to prevent her death by a genetic disease introduced to her bloodline by Clovis I's experiments on her father. She later turned on her grandfather when she discovered the crimes he committed by experimenting with the [[Darkness]] and [[Stasis]], but was defeated and rebooted by Clovis I. Elsie later regained those lost memories during the [[Battle of Europa]] when she and [[Banshee-44|Clovis-1]], a Exo-copy of Clovis, halted a [[Vex]] invasion and shut down the AI unit her grandfather had transferred his consciousness into.

| | | '''Bahr'Toran''' was a [[Centurion]] who served as a officer in [[Emperor Calus]]' [[Loyalists]] legion. He fought alongside the [[Hunter]] [[Katabasis]] after the [[Guardian]] began to serve the Emperor. |
| Following the [[Collapse]], Elsie worked alongside her half-sister Ana, who had been reborn as a [[Guardian]], but [[The Last City]] eventually fell to an assault by the Dark Guardian [[Eris Morn]] and [[Savathûn, the Witch Queen]]. Years later, Elsie reunited with Ana to gather the scattered remnants of humanity, the [[Fallen]], and the [[Cabal]] to locate the [[Traveler]] and reclaim the [[Light]] to defeat their foes. However, during the final battle Ana revealed herself to have become a follower of Eris and betrayed the alliance, forcing Elsie to murder her own sister. The battle ended with a massive explosion of Light and Darkness, which traps Elsie in a time-loop that begins with [[Cayde-6]]'s ascension to [[Hunter]] [[Vanguard]].

| Elsie has since spent multiple loops attempting to change the future, but has been unable to prevent the corruption of Eris and Ana. As she cycles through the timelines Elsie has become a mythological figure amongst many in the [[Solar System]], her true identity being lost to time and becoming known as the '''Exo Stranger'''. On the current loop Elsie has made progress in her goal by befriending [[The Guardian]] and destroying the [[Black Heart]] of the [[Black Garden]] before it could corrupt Guardians. Following the [[Arrival of the Black Fleet|Arrival]] of the [[Black Fleet]], Elsie recruited Eris and [[The Drifter (character)|The Drifter]] into her plans but hid the full truth from them, while also entrusting the Guardian and her sister Ana with the knowledge of the potential future that awaited them in the hope that together they could finally prevent it from coming to pass.

| Elsie was born to [[Clovis Bray II]] and [[Sylvie Bray]] as part of the powerful [[House Bray]], which was headed by her grandfather [[Clovis Bray I]]. After the birth of her half-sister [[Anastasia Bray|Anastasia]] from an extra-marital affair by Clovis II, Elsie disagreed with her mother Sylvie's decision to lie to Ana about her heritage by claiming she was adopted. Sylvie and the rest of the family saw much of Clovis I in Ana and feared she would follow her grandfather's footsteps.<ref>'''Bungie (2020/11/10)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Beyond Light]] - [[Quests (Destiny 2)|Quest]]: [[Born_in_Darkness#Born_in_Darkness_Part_2|Born in Darkness Part 2]]</ref> At the age of thirteen, Elsie built her first [[Sparrow]] with the help of Ana. She did not know why she wanted to build the Sparrow so badly, only that she could focus on nothing else until she finished it. This Sparrow would later become a production model, as the [[G-335 Anseris Overdrive]].<ref>'''Bungie (2018/5/8)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Warmind (expansion)|Warmind]], Activision Blizzard - [[G-335 Anseris Overdrive]]''</ref>

| Elsie eventually earned a doctorate and became one of [[Humanity|humanity's]] greatest engineers. She designed multiple [[Jumpship]]s, including the ''[[Eon-class]]'' line. Two of the most famous ships of this line were the ''[[Eon Trespass]]'' and the ''[[Shadow Trespass]]''. She completed work on the ''Eon Trespass'' first<ref>'''Bungie (2014/12/9)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[The Dark Below]], Activision Blizzard - Item Description: [[Eon Trespass]]''</ref> and attended the naming ceremony of the ''Shadow Trespass'', which she designed with panels that helped it avoid detection by other ship's sensors.<ref>'''Bungie (2018/5/8)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Warmind (expansion)|Warmind]], Activision Blizzard - [[Shadow Trespass]]''</ref>

| Along with her sisters [[Wilhelmina Bray|Willa]] and Ana, Elsie worked at the [[BrayTech Futurescape]] in the [[Hellas Basin]] on [[Mars]]. Although she primarily worked in weapons research and development, she assisted other BrayTech scientists working on the Sn0-armor project.<ref name="Sn0Treads/> After discovering Ana was working on a prototype line of [[scout rifle]]s, Elsie looked over [[Polaris Lance|her work]] and was pleased by the progress her sister was making. She returned the rifle to Ana and told her that only she could finish the design, a sign of confidence in her sister, whom she knew struggled with her sense of identity and belonging in the family.<ref>'''Bungie (2018/5/8)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Warmind (expansion)|Warmind]], Activision Blizzard - [[Polaris Lance]]''</ref>

| When their father began to pass away from fatal prion insomnia, a genetic condition introduced to the Bray family bloodline by Clovis I's genetic tampering, Elsie, Willa, and Ana were all opposed to their grandfather's plan to transfer Clovis II's mind into an experimental [[Exo]] body. Clovis I believed that this was the path their family was destined to take in order to achieve immortality and become the common ancestors of all future humankind.<ref>'''Bungie''' - ''[[Mysterious_Logbook#ENTRY_4|Mysterious Logbook - Entry 4]]''</ref> Their fears were justified, as their father's mind was unable to cope with the transfer or handle the new Exo body, which was torn apart in Clovis II's panic. The three sisters distanced themselves from Clovis I after this, blaming him for their father's disease and horrific death.<ref name="MLME2">'''Bungie''' - ''[[Mysterious_Logbook#MESSAGE_TO_BRAY,_ELISABETH_2|Myterious Logbook - MESSAGE TO BRAY, ELISABETH 2]]''</ref> Elsie also clashed with her grandfather and brother [[Alton Bray|Alton]] about their handling of the [[K1]] project on [[Moon|Luna]] and the [[Anomaly (artifact)|mysterious artifact]] discovered there.<ref name="MLME3">'''Bungie''' - ''[[Mysterious_Logbook#MESSAGE_TO_BRAY,_ELISABETH_3|Mysterious Logbook - MESSAGE TO BRAY, ELISABETH 3]]''</ref>

| Elsie eventually began suffering the same symptoms as her father and discovered that she too was afflicted by what her grandfather had dubbed the "Clovis Curse". She received a message from Clovis I asking her to join him on [[Europa]] to aid him in his research, which he described as risky and in need of her expertise with outside-context problems.<ref>'''Bungie''' - ''[[Mysterious_Logbook#MESSAGE_TO_BRAY,_ELISABETH|Mysterious Logbook - MESSAGE TO BRAY, ELISABETH]]''</ref> Clovis I eventually sent her another message, revealing that he knew she was ill as well and explained that his project could save her and Clovis II, whose final memory scan was still on file within the Clovis Bray archives. The message also revealed that Clovis I was dying as well and he pleaded with her to join him so they could all be saved.<ref name="MLME2"/> Elsie agreed to join him in order to limit the damage his experiments caused. She warned him that if he revealed to anyone else in the family that she was dying she would never speak to him again and refuse to let him save her from dying in agony, a prospect which Elsie hoped was still enough to trouble him.<ref>'''Bungie''' - ''[[Mysterious_Logbook#MESSAGE_FROM_BRAY,_ELISABETH|Mysterious Logbook - MESSAGE FROM BRAY, ELISABETH]]''</ref>

| Upon arriving at the [[Morning Star]] station in orbit of Europa, Elsie received another message from Clovis explaining that the [[Transmat]] system would take her from the station to the surface and provided her with files on the ongoing projects of the [[Eventide]] colony. He also promised her that he would not take any brainscans without her express permission, vowing that he would respect her privacy while working on perfecting the Exobodies. Their priority upon her arrival would be reviewing security around a captured [[Vex]] platform which Clovis had constructing a gateway, with Elsie being placed in charge of containment and control. However, Clovis I also noted that there were several areas he was keeping off limits and for his personal authority only, warning her that he knew she would try to break into them anyway but would fail.<ref name="MLME3"/>

| After the Vex gateway, which they dubbed the [[Glassway]], was finished, Clovis I decided to conduct a expedition through it. Elsie insisted on joining the research team, which would also include her grandfather via a remote operated drone. They emerged onto a statite orbiting a [[2082 Volantis|thirteen-billion year old type-0 hypergiant star]], an impossibility the Vex had engineered by feeding the star energy to stop it from going supernova. They began exploring the region and gathered samples from the statite and Vex structures. When several Vex platforms took notice of them and fired, Elsie annihilated them with a matter laser. Her grandfather chided her for the excessive response, noting that they did not want to enter into a war with the Vex and that they needed to only scavenge and abduct, which hopefully would only result in a like response from the Vex.<ref>'''Bungie''' - ''[[Mysterious_Logbook#ENTRY_7|Mysterious Logbook - Entry 7]]''</ref>

| Upon returning to Europa, Elsie began analyzing their samples along with data stolen from the [[Ishtar Collective]] regarding the Vex. She discovered that there was risk of contamination by Vex cytostructures that could introduce thoughts and even hallucinations into the minds of those infected. Furthermore, there was the risk of the Vex creating perfect copies of individuals to study and analyze for subsequent annihilation once the Vex learned all they could. This information led to Elsie arguing that utilizing the Vex for Exo research was too large a risk. She and Clovis I frequently fought about the concept of immortality through an artificial shell. Elsie worried that humanity would risk becoming like the Vex in such a state, losing all concept of morality and reality with the loss of death as a possibility, but her grandfather countered that Exobodies would provide the best defense against Vex infiltration of their minds.<ref name="MLVF"/>

| Clovis I soon informed Elsie that her latest medical scans showed the prion disease had activated in her spinal fluids and were thus replicating in her brain, giving her around fifteen months left to live without treatments, which could potentially give her five to six years. He begged her to consider making a terminal scan of her mind to upload into an Exobody as he soon planned to do himself, admitting that out of all his grandchildren he considered her the brightest and his favorite.<ref>'''Bungie''' - ''[[Mysterious_Logbook#MESSAGE_TO_BRAY,_ELISABETH_4|Mysterious Logbook - MESSAGE TO BRAY, ELISABETH 4]]''</ref> Elsie sent him a message stating that she did not trust him or the Exobodies yet, noting he had made the same promises to her father. She also noted that she was unsure if she would become an Exo even if he proved it to be safe, as she disliked his dream of becoming the Last Universal Common Ancestor of humanity. Elsie also demanded that he cease attempting to make her grandmother [[Lusia Lin|Lusia]]'s rhubarb compote recipe during their dinners, noting his desire to have her say it was just like his ex-wife's was pathetic and that she would continue to eat with the crew instead.<ref>'''Bungie''' - ''[[Mysterious_Logbook#MESSAGE_FROM_BRAY,_ELISABETH_2|Mysterious Logbook - MESSAGE FROM BRAY, ELISABETH 2]]''</ref>
