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[edit | edit source]
Dr. Elizabeth Weir is an Earth-born diplomat who led 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.[1]
In 150,080 CMT, Dr. Weir commanded the Atlantis Expedition in the defense against Blackout's forces in the Battle of Lantea,[2] which began when Blackout attacked Atlantis in an attempt to claim its advanced technology.[1] Despite receiving assistance from Shika's Armada and the Makuta Anima in the Wigwam,[2] the human forces were forced to retreat, presumably fleeing through its Stargate, when Blackout took control of Atlantis.[1]
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.[3]
In 150,084 CMT, Weir was touted as a likely future presidential candidate for Malchior IV's Labour and Justice party.[3] 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.[4]
Weir said in her statement that she thought that war against the Dominion was a risky proposition, especially since Malchior IV had yet to fully recover from the losses suffered in the Uterio War and the terrorist attack on the Blackstone port. She also stated that the administration, the opposition, and all the Protectorate should work towards finding peace.[5] Her opponent, Vazquez, opined that Weir was using the tragedy of the Blackstone attack for "political points" with her statement.[4]

[...] The city was then attacked by Blackout's forces, who wanted its technology. However, they were unaware of the humans now inhabiting the city, and the Battle of Lantea began. Blackout personally teleported into the city and tore his way into the control room. Despite many people getting in the way, Blackout took over Atlantis and used it to attack the Wigwam, and then ran off, took apart Atlantis, and used the parts to expand Darkmount."
