Biography
Suikoden II
Elza was a Knight-Class gunner of the Howling Voice Guild, until she murdered her childhood friend Kelly, stole his guns and fled, being chased after by Clive. She was eventually cornered in Sajah Village and she died in a duel with Clive, according to guild rules. However, the manner of her death raised some questions. Did she really Kelly in order to steal his guns? She also clearly laid clues for Clive in order for him to track her.
Genso Suikogaiden Volume 1
During her time in the guild, she formed a bond with Nash Ratokie. Although they were from different classes socially, due to their similar age and intensity of the guild, they formed a good rivalry. Nash himself would say that he never managed to beat her but Elza had high regard for his strength.
She had a chance encounter with Nash while on the run from Clive, helping him to fight off a Golden Wolf. There she told him the story of how she came to be on the run.
According to Elza, the gun Storm chose Elza over Kelly but because the guild leaders had decided on Kelly for guildmaster they demanded a duel to decide the next leader. Elza's crime was being caught in a power struggle, one that destroyed her friendship with both Kelly and Clive.
