Bio: Eliane Ward was born about 1300. She was found early as a potential and began training with her watcher at 13. Two years later, she at age 15, and he at age 18, they fell in love. Shortly after they were married and forced to hide their love from the Watcher's Council. She had the "Slayer sense" that so many girls miss out on. She gave birth to their son Gervais, and then 5 years later she had their daughter Isabeau. She fashioned emergency weapons, shaping a stake underneath the head of Isabeau's wooden rattle. Only weeks after Isabeau's birth, Watcher Council representative Gaston Roux arrived to inform her that she had been called at age 20, long after most girls are called. When he realized what had become of the Watcher/Slayer relationship, Eliane's husband/watcher Michel was sent to London to stand trial in the Council. Eliane, enraged refused to act as Slayer until her husband was returned. At this time a vampire named Tatoul began rampaging their small village. He tried to sway her from her house by killing everyone in sight, wanting only the blood of the slayer. Finally, having had it with Eliane's refusal to help, Gaston ventured outside to confront Tatoul and was killed. Elaine, reacting as the Slayer and not as herself, flew outside without realizing that she still Gervais in her arms. With the speed of a vampire, Ttaoul snatched Gervais from her and killed him. He then turned the 5 year old and set about teaching him the kill. Eliane trained and prepared for a month and then Tatoul, and Gervais returned for her and Isabeau. She staked Tatoul, her first kill as the Slayer. She then staked her son and returned to her home. Vampires shortly thereafter burned her house to the ground killing her and burning her home to ashes. All but Isabeau, she was somehow protected, and was then returned to her father Michel in London.
