| Elisabeta MacTavish |
The fellow most knew as Jon Chess settled into the comfortable over-stuffed leather chair in his wife's study in Boralus; Alia spent a lot of time reading, translating, note-taking, and other scholarly pursuits with her shapely buttocks parked right here. It was the most comfortable chair in the Kul Tiran capital. Jon removed the purloined SI:7 dossier on the paladin Elisabeta MacTavish, and began reading.
INTEL REPORT
All information stated below is considered classified. Sharing without prior authorization will result in loss of clearance level and summary judgment up to and including jail/death.
Subject: Elisabeta Elise MacTavish
Alias: Elisabeta Elise Smithson, Codebreaker
Date: 41, November 20th (Year 633 - by the King’s Calendar)
Case Number: 47-40-1876
Analyst: Agt. Roarke Morrison, Stormwind
Jon smirked, satisfied. She had piqued his curiosity, and not only did SI:7 have a file on her (he had been bluffing when obtaining a copy) but it was rather thick. Of course, that was good news and bad news - it contained a lot of information, but the information was cross-referenced to other files he did not have. Still... better too much information than not enough.
Summary:
Based on open source intelligence and surveillance activities, Elisabeta Elise MacTavish is suspected to be a key member of Sommerset Inc, involved in trafficking of gnomes and dwarfs for profit, counterfeiting and bribery in the city of Stormwind and Dalaran. As of the date of this report, evidence provided to a magistrate has not brought about charges or a conviction. Recent activity indicates a cooling down period and no known activity has been seen for over two years.
"Interesting..." Jon mumbled. He had never heard of any criminal organizations involved in trafficking gnomes or dwarves; the social structures of both gnomish and dwarven societies were highly protective of clan members; gnome and dwarven birth rates demanded fierce loyalties. Of course, just because SI:7 made assertions hardly made it factual. Jon smiled; he knew all kinds of things in his own file were malign lies - the ill feelings between Jon Chess and Mathias Shaw were well-known within SI:7, made more intensive on Shaw's part by the number of times he'd needed Jon to save his pretentious ass from the fire.
Key Findings:
Associations: Stephen MacTavish (dec), Matthew Riley (dec), Tinkerspot Ratchet (dec) , Allison Smithson (dec), Sarah Smithson (dec)
Family: Stephen MacTavish (s., dec), Martha Smithson (mother, dec), Robert Smithson (father, dec), Allison Smithson (s, dec), Sarah Smithson (s, dec)
Jon felt a surge of sympathy; far too many people had a long list of dead family and friends. The constant shifting states of emergencies had taken a deep toll on many people.
In that regard, Jon had been doubly fortunate; he was an orphan with a step-brother who was able to take care of himself, and a wife and family who were... formidable.
Location:
Regular activity has been identified in Dornogal, Dalaran and Stormwind with key interaction patterns in Valdrakkan
Communication Patterns:
Analysis of communications shows both magical non-magical calls and letters written to and frequent use of encrypted communication platforms to an individual known only as Filaren. No known person/entity exists within the confines of this Analysts ability to decipher. Unknown contents as communications are self destructed upon gathering.
"That's not good," mumbled Jon. Self-destructing communications were indicative of a Jon-level of paranoia. Again, not necessarily conclusive of wrong-doing, but worth noting.
Financial Activity:
Recent large deposits into Stormwind Bank/Dornogal Bank are suspected to be proceeds from criminal activities, however the evidence is circumstantial and cannot be proven without further investigation.
Jon mentally shrugged. He was himself making a remarkable amount of money from perfectly legitimate sources. New kinds of cheese from the Alliance was making Universal Exports a fortune, but SI:7 probably viewed anything lucrative as a potentially illegitimate money-making exercise. Jon made a mental note to check, regardless - even a stopped clock was accurate twice a day.
Background Information:
Personal Details: Date of actual birth could not be determined as records have been destroyed. Age determined by other resources.
Born in Westfall to Martha and Robert Smithson, Blacksmith. Eldest of three. Sisters are twins Sarah and Allison, born three years her senior. At the writing of this report, all family members are deceased.
Recruited at sixteen into the Stormwind Army. Natural and innate ability to wield the Light was noticed, transferred to Northshire Abby to train as a paladin. After knighting, transferred to Ironforge. Lended out to various organizations as needs dictated.
A typical deployment of the Silver Hand. Too much demand, not enough resources.
Wed to Stephen MacTavish at the age of 25. Sources indicate a possible honeypot situation as Stephen MacTavish (report 47-58-9965) was owner of Sommerset Inc, (report 47-96-9945), an organization with ties to Ratchet, the Defias, and the Syndicate which dealt exclusively with war profiteering, up to and including slave trading. Her sisters were later recruited as well, as a tactic to ensure complete cooperation. It is not determined, at this time, that the subject gave away important strategic military information, up to and including location of war supplies, gold caches and incoming transports.
Jon winced. Stephan MacTavish sounded like a real piece of work; Sommerset Inc.may have been illicit but not lucrative enough for Jon to have heard of it. He had carried out what might only be considered a slaughter of the Syndicate when he dated a former Syndicate spellcaster. Jon had kept up the unprovoked killing of Syndicate operatives and leadership until they'd written off losing Madame D'Arque as a fruitless endeavor.
No children.
"Probably for the best," thought Jon.
Stephen MacTaivsh was killed by Elisabeta MacTavish in year 39 of the Kings Calendar. Due to the nature of the killing, location, and reason, no charges were brought. Subsequent file has been blacklisted and is no longer available.
"Interesting," said Jon. Given the speculation that Elisabeta was honey-trapped into marriage, he couldn't fault her, and obviously a magistrate had agreed. What Jon found interesting was that the case file had been thoroughly buried.
Two months later, a near lethal injury sustained in the Battle of Dalaran resulted in the medical discharge of the subject. Both head and leg injuries have since been healed though it was noted that the subject refused magical healing, choosing to heal as “..nature intended.” It should be noted that physically, the subject appears to have healed as of the date of this report, however, mentally and spiritually the subject appears to be struggling. No contact will be made at this time, watch ongoing.
"She refused magical healing? I wonder if she felt that she was unworthy of being healed by the Light. Jon knew of a few ex-Scarlet Crusaders who refused to invoke the Light, although they retained the ability. Most of them volunteered for war duties, taking dangerous missions until they died in service to the Alliance. Jon hoped that Elizabeta didn't have that self-destructive streak. It would be a waste.
Source Information: n/a
Surveillance: On going.
Informant:Unable to secure reliable informant re: Robin Hood Effect
Analysis: As of the date of this report, it cannot be proven or disproven that she acted with full knowledge concerning her spouse's criminal activity or that of her sisters. Recommend surveillance continue.
Recommendations:
Increased Surveillance:
Maintain surveillance on Elisabeta Elise MacTavish and key associates to monitor movements and potential criminal activity.
Financial Investigation:
Initiate a thorough financial investigation into Elisabeta Elise MacTavish accounts to trace illicit funds.
Coordinate with Law Enforcement:
Collaborate with relevant law enforcement agencies to share information and coordinate potential operations.
Standard operating procedure. Jon wondered how active their surveillance was; perhaps he should follow her himself, to see who and how many were watching.
