Along with her sisters [[Wilhelmina Bray|Willa]] and Ana, Elsie worked at the [[BrayTech Futurescape]] in the [[Hellas Basin]] on [[Mars]].

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> | 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.

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> | 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".

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 | 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.
