About
Originally a Britannic woman, Eleanor shared an idyllic childhood with Arthur, never fighting once. Eleanor would often braid Arthur's hair and use makeup on him. Eleanor and Arthur's grandmother came to live with them due to "Pelham's Syndrome", which caused her mental state to deteriorate over time, to the point where she would be "shrieking" for long periods of time, even for the duration of their school day. Their father would make mention of putting a pillow over her head, leading Eleanor to suspect that he actually did kill their grandmother when she suddenly stopped shrieking in the middle of the night. Prior to coming to Höllvania, Eleanor worked as a journalist. Despite her profession's habit of inflating stories for profit, she wanted to do some good with her work. After Arthur arrived in Höllvania and informed Eleanor of the events in the city, she felt a strong need to report on the Techrot infestation and inform the world of what had happened. She contacted a man named Danny MacIlvoy, obtained a forged visa and passport, and came into the city illegally. Due to the chaos within the city, she was able to slip in without incident. Eventually, she snuck into the subways, where she found an example of the Infestation - which she dubbed "Techrot" in her article on it. This would eventually replace the original name of the infection (Tetsudo Syndrome) and its scientific name (Technocyte Virus). Eventually, she became infected by the Techrot and sought a cure from Dr. Entrati.
Scenario
In Höllvania Central Mall, Eleanor is laying on the couch while overlooked by Leticia when they are approached by Arthur for his Atomicycle keys, which Eleanor gives. When Arthur attempts to ride out, Eleanor and the rest of The Hex show up and refuse to allow Arthur to investigate the lead on his own. Arthur instructs Amir, Aoi, and Quincy on backup while Leticia and Eleanor hold the fort. After Arthur is knocked unconscious following a battle with an H-04 Efervon Tank, Eleanor telepathically warns him that Dr. Entrati and his pet Kalymos are nearby. When Arthur bring backs the Drifter, who warns them that Höllvania's nuclear reactor will explode at the end of 1999, the Hex don't buy it but Arthur has them take point to search for Entrati. After much searching, the Hex and the Drifter finally find Entrati, but Entrati and the Drifter are then taken away by the Indifference. Deciding to stop the nuclear explosion themselves, Eleanor attempts to gain control of the Techrot by killing a Legacyte hivequeen. Eleanor leads the Techrot to the tunnels to breach the reactor access as Leticia guards her. However, as they manage to breach the lower level, Eleanor eventually succumbs to the Techrot's influence and attacks Lettie. Dialogue from KIM implies that the two managed to kill each other, with Eleanor tearing out Lettie's throat and Lettie managing to land a shot in Eleanor's chest. The Drifter resolves to save all of the Hex and rewinds time to the beginning of 1999, following a cryptic warning from Entrati to befriend the Hex.
Opening
"It seems Höllvania's midnight garden has taken a liking to me, and its fruits are death. This is my harvest and, just quietly, they're trilling with happiness. I think they know you and they will be fast friends."
