Elizabeth Weir

Dr. Elizabeth Weir is the former leader of Earth's Atlantis Expedition and a current presidential candidate for the Labour and Justice party on Malchior IV.

History
Dr. Elizabeth Weir was an Earth-born diplomat who lead the Atlantis Expedition, a collaboration between the nations of Earth to colonize the abandoned Great Being city-ship of Atlantis on the planet of Lantea.

In 150,080 CMT, Dr. Weir commanded the Atlantis Expedition in the Battle of Lantea, which was initiated when Blackout attacked Atlantis in an attempt to claim its advanced technology for himself. Blackout was also opposed by the Makuta Anima in the Wigwam and Shika's Armada, but Blackout eventually teleported into Atlantis and tore his way into its control room, where he activated the city-ship's weapons and turned them against the Wigwam. The Atlantis Expedition were forced to admit defeat and fled from Atlantis (probably by travelling through its Stargate) before Blackout disassembled it entirely and used its parts to expand Darkmount.

At some point over the next four years, Dr. Weir somehow became the Secretary of State of a region of Malchior IV, a position that she either stepped down from or was voted out of. In 150,084 CMT, Weir was touted as a likely future presidential candidate for Malchior IV's Labour and Justice party. In a news report, Jon Rogerson commented that he thought that Senator Patr Vazquez was the only candidate who carried a credible challenge against Elizabeth Weir, should she decide to run for election. At around the same time, both Weir and Vazquez commented on the assassinations of the Presidents of Malchior I and Malchior V, which had occurred hours before.

Weir said in her statement that "War against the Dominion is a risky proposition, especially since we have yet to fully recover from the losses we suffered in the Uterio War and the terrorist attack on the Blackstone port. The administration, the opposition, and all the Protectorate should work towards a peaceful solution." In an apparent act of confusion, Vazquez claimed that Weir was using the tragedy for "political points" with her statement.
