'''Ellie Langford''' is one of the survivors of the [[Necromorph]] outbreak aboard [[The Sprawl]]. Though young, Ellie seems reluctant to trust anyone after having been betrayed earlier by other individuals and thus relies on herself. She serves as a Class IV Heavy Equipment Pilot under the employment of the [[Concordance Extraction Corporation]].

On her own, Ellie struggles to reach the [[Government Sector]], unaware it is the location of [[Site 12 Marker]]. At some point during her journey through the [[Concourse]] she encounters an individual who claimed to want to help her; they try to kill her, but she manages to escape. Repairing the control panel to an elevator, Ellie is attacked by a swarm of [[Slasher]]s; she uses a security gate to protect herself from the swarm as she wears them down. Near the end of the battle she is discovered by [[Isaac Clarke]], on his way to the [[Transport Hub]]. Isaac offers his assistance, believing that they could work together. Ellie declines, citing that bringing anyone with her would be “a liability” <ref name="DS26">''[[Dead Space 2]]'': [[Chapter 6: I Need Some Transportation]]</ref>. She warns him not to follow her and continues onward.

Ellie struggled to reach the Government Sector, which, unbeknownst to her, was the location of [[Site 12 Marker]]. She was attacked by a swarm of [[Slasher]]s until she was discovered by [[Isaac Clarke]], who was also his way there via the Transport Hub. Isaac offered his assistance so that both could work together; Ellie declined and left, citing that ''"other people are... just a liability."''
 
   
Shortly after the two parted ways, she encountered [[Nolan Stross]]; and, despite her mistrust of him, she was convinced by Isaac to keep him alive. Isaac, Ellie, and Stross then decided to band together and escape the Sprawl,<ref>'''Dead Space 2''', ''Chapter 6''</ref> despite Stross's increasing dementia and insanity. Ellie provided Isaac with waypoints to aid their escape, and eventually able to appropriate a tram. The group's progression to the Government Sector was hindered following the tram track's destruction by [[Hans Tiedemann|Tiedemann]]'s control over the [[Solar Array]]'s beam. Isaac decided to head back into the ''[[Ishimura]]'', which was docked on the Sprawl, and take control of the ship's gravity tethers to pull the Government Sector back to the station by force. Ellie was left with Stross in the tram while Isaac decided to activate the gravity tethers on the ''Ishimura''.

Shortly after parting ways, Ellie encounters [[Nolan Stross]]. Despite her distrust of both him and Isaac, she contacts the engineer to let him know she found him. In the face of her threats to kill Stross, Isaac convinces her to keep him alive.

Their progression to the Government Sector was hindered following the tram track's destruction by [[Hans Tiedemann]]'s control over the [[Solar Array]]'s beam<ref name="DS29">''[[Dead Space 2]]'': [[Chapter 9: Transportation Preparation]]</ref>. Isaac decides to head back into the ''[[Ishimura]]'' and activate the ship's [[Gravity Tether]]s to pull them toward the Titan Shard by force. Ellie is left with Stross in the tram again, Isaac enteres the ''Ishimura'' on his own.
Ellie was attacked by Stross with a screwdriver as Isaac escaped the ship's collision in an escape pod. Ellie followed Stross in the Government Sector and attacked him when he threatened to do the same with Isaac. Ellie displayed her regret for allowing Stross to be kept alive and threatened Isaac, "You owe me an eye, you bastard!" Stross attacked her again, but she managed to fend him off. Ellie was later joined by Isaac in a mine near the Government Sector following Stross' death.

Throughout Isaac’s journey through the derelict ship, Stross grows increasingly violent toward Ellie, biting and threatening her with a screw driver<ref name="DS210">''[[Dead Space 2]]'': [[Chapter 10: Déjà Vu on the Ishimura]]</ref>. During the engineer’s escape in an escape pod, Stross attacks and overpowers Ellie. He stabs her in the eye with the screwdriver in an effort to get her to follow “the steps”. Seemingly undaunted by the loss of an eye, Ellie hunts Stross down in the mines and attacks him with every intention of killing him. He escapes and Ellie warns Isaac to stay on his guard<ref name="DS211">''[[Dead Space 2]]'': [[Chapter 11: Down in the Mines]]</ref>.
Isaac and Ellie (now wearing an eye patch over her empty eye socket) appropriated a giant underground drill that would allow them to finally reach the Government Sector. Soon after, Ellie discovered a docked gunship and made preparations for their escape. However, Isaac launched the ship with only Ellie on board and told her that he could not save [[Nicole Brennan|Nicole]], but he can save her and pleaded for her to survive, despite Ellie's protests.

Ellie is later joined by Isaac in the [[Titan Mines]] near the Government Sector following Stross' death. Ellie (now wearing a patch over her missing eye) decides to commandeer a giant drill that will allow them to finally reach the Government Sector<ref name="DS212">''[[Dead Space 2]]'': [[Chapter 12: The Drill]]</ref>. Ellie pilots the drill through a swarm of Necromorphs and the creeping [[Corruption]] growing throughout the station. She drives the drill into the heart of the Government Sector, shattering the defensive measures set up by Tiedemann’s security. Ellie and Isaac separate to search for transportation. Ellie discovers a docked gunship and decides to make preparations for their escape. Upon meeting her halfway, Isaac launches the ship with only Ellie aboard. In the face of her protests, Isaac believes he can “save her” where he was unable to save his girlfriend, [[Nicole Brennan]]<ref name="DS213">''[[Dead Space 2]]'': [[Chapter 13: Government Sector]]</ref>.
Acknowledging the state of deterioration around the Marker site, Ellie contacted Isaac and informed him of his rescue. Piloting the gunship, Ellie abruptly smashed through the Marker site's roof, quickly retrieving Isaac, and escaped before the site self-destructed. {{Spoiler End}}

In spite of Isaac’s efforts, Ellie returns to the station and contacts Isaac, affronted by his meager attempt at a rescue and self-sacrifice. Piloting the gunship, Ellie abruptly smashes through the Marker site's roof. Isaac heads for the ship and they escape before the site is destroyed by the explosion<ref name="DS214">''[[Dead Space 2]]'': [[Chapter 14: Marker Access and a New Threat]]</ref>.
===[[Dead Space: Liberation|Ellie's Mission and the Uxor Outbreak]]===
 
After surviving the destruction of Titan Station, Ellie had her lost eye replaced with a new one and soon began a relationship with Isaac. Their relationship soon became strained, however, as Ellie wanted to find a way to end the threat of the Markers and Isaac wanted nothing more to do with them. Eventually, they separated. She eventually began a relationship with Earthgov Captain [[Robert Norton]] and joined them in their efforts to end the Necromorph threat.
 
   
  +
===Pre-Dead Space 3===
After traveling to [[Tau Volantis]], she dropped out of contact.
 
  +
Sometime after the incident on the Sprawl, Ellie and Isaac begin a relationship. They settled on [[Luna]] and live in [[Earthrise Apartments|an apartment]] on [[New Horizons Lunar Colony]]. Ellie was able to purchase an eye to replace the one she lost. Believing Isaac was wallowing in the past, Ellie broached the subject of his confronting the past several times. Isaac chose to “run” from it, believing the past was better off buried. Eventually, Ellie ended their relationship and left Isaac, frustrated with his inaction.
   
  +
At an unspecified time, Ellie met [[Robert Norton]], [[John Carver|John]] and [[Damara Carver]] on Haven Prime. She befriended the Carvers and began a romantic relationship with Norton. When Damara stumbled across information regarding the [[Sovereign Colonies]] and their experimentation with the Markers, Ellie and Robert helped her in the effort to find the source of the Markers.
=== Tau Volantis Events ===
 
{{Spoiler}}
 
Isaac is approached in his apartment by Norton and Sergeant John Carver to help them find Ellie per her request. Isaac agrees to go with them apparently to solely help Ellie, obviously still in love with her.
 
   
  +
===Dead Space: Liberation===
Isaac and Carver work together to make it to Ellie on a derelict ship. When they reach her, Isaac is shocked to see her run up to Norton and kiss him. Ellie only notices Isaac's presence when Norton introduces him to Ellie's crewmates by name, where she gives him an awkward look. Isaac and Ellie continue to work together over their intercoms where they have awkward conversations, mostly brought on by Isaac who feels betrayed that she moved on from him that fast. When Isaac and Carver repair a ship for the team to reach the planet, Ellie walks up to him smiling before asking "what's that look for?" Issac then coldly blows off Ellie, still upset about her relationship with Norton.
 
  +
Ellie arrives to Uxor too late to reach Damara before she is killed by [[Jacob Danik]] and transformed into a Necromorph. She attempts to hail Damara, unaware of her death and instead is answered by John Carver. She explains what his wife was working on with herself and Robert in secret. Ellie asks Carver to help by getting the data stick his wife hid in a stuffed doll to her. Ellie agrees to meet Carver at the Cargo Dock, unaware she is being used as bait to lure Danik and the Unitologists out into the open. When Carver reaches Ellie, Robert and the [[USM Eudora|USM ''Eudora'']] arrive from high-orbit to get them off-planet.
   
  +
Despite Robert’s belief that Carver should be left in the dark, Ellie explains in further detail the information unearthed by Damara. She plays the prerecorded message left behind by Damara, which is enough to convince Carver to help them complete Damara’s work. Arriving at Ptolmey Station, Ellie and the others use the station’s triangulation sequence to locate the “master signal” being received by the Markers. Realizing they need a shock beacon and station in order to reach the master signal, they decide to head for Keyhole Station. As they depart, Ellie uses the ''Eudora''’s armaments to destroy the station lest Danik get his hands on the information they discovered.
During the approach to the planet, Isaac and Ellie are separated when the ship breaks apart leaving Isaac and Carver on one piece of the crashed ship. As the ship breaks apart, Ellie screams out Isaac's name and reaches for him when the ship flies to pieces. Upon crashing, Isaac frantically begins looking for Ellie, telling Carver "she's all I have". Upon reaching the other crash site, Isaac frantically looks for signs of Ellie digging up the frozen corpse of a crewmate, fearing it to be her. Isaac and Carver then find a video message from Ellie telling them to follow the flares she had left as a trail and pleading for Isaac to please still be alive, showing she may still have feelings for him.
 
   
  +
In transit to Keyhole Station, Ellie tries to decrypt the rest of Damara’s research and learns that some of the script is that of the Markers. She suggests to Robert that they try and contact Isaac, but is shut down by the captain, who believes the engineer's high profile with the Unitologists will bring unwanted trouble to their already complicated mission. Later, Ellie silently comforts Carver as he openly confesses his guilt to his friend, hoping he can put things right by finishing Damara’s mission.
Isaac and Carver make their way through the planet, eventually getting back into communication range with Ellie and the others, where she is ecstatic to hear his voice. Upon regrouping, Ellie hugs Isaac tightly and he does the same in return. An obviously jealous Norton asks if they need some alone time and begins treating Isaac coldly.
 
   
  +
Upon arriving to Keyhole station, they are attacked by Necromorphs and Unitologists that veer them off their path. Ellie is separated from Robert and Carver, but eventually crosses paths with engineer [[Jennifer Santos]] and Marker operative [[Austin Buckell]]. Unable to regroup with Robert and Carver, Ellie chooses to go on with the mission to [[Tau Volantis]] without the two. She, Santos and Buckell prep a Sub-Light Flyer to head through the [[ShockRing]] with the coordinates Ellie provides<ref>''[[Dead Space: Liberation]]''</ref>. Ellie shares a few last words with Robert; the two apologize to each other after their fight over Isaac. Ellie confesses to Robert she’s frightened of what will happen on her journey. They shock out of the Carina Nebula, Robert uses the ''Eudora''’s armament to destroy the station and the ShockRing to prevent Danik’s ship from following her.
After gathering enough information, Ellie decides that they need to head further up the mountain to continue on to destroy the Markers and heads off with Santos while Norton retrieves Isaac and Carver from the inside of a giant Necromorph. Norton however refuses to let Isaac and Carver out of the lift saying that he is tired of Isaac and is going to save Ellie himself. Isaac and Carver escape the cage and head after Norton. They find him with a group of Unitologists led by Danic where it's revealed Norton sold out Isaac in exchange for safe passage off the planet for everyone else. However Norton himself is betrayed and a firefight breaks out between the two sides. Isaac and Carver are then swallowed by [[the Nexus]] and fight their way out of it by destroying its insides.
 
   
  +
=== Dead Space 3 ===
Upon exiting [[the Nexus]], Norton brandishes a gun, blaming Isaac for everything. Isaac has no choice but to shoot and kill Norton; Isaac is horrified at what he did to Ellie and later tells her how he shot Norton. Ellie is distraught with the news telling Isaac that killing Norton didn't make it right for him betraying them.
 
  +
The blind jump to the planet is successful, but shortly thereafter Ellie loses contact with the ''Eudora''. As their ship approached the ruined Sovereign Colonies flotilla the automated mines bombarded them. Ellie and the others managed to abandon Sub-Light Flyer and boarded the [[CMS Roanoke]] in search of a safe haven.
   
  +
When Robert and Carver arrive at Ellie's location with Isaac, Ellie is relieved to see them. After introductions, she explains to Isaac that there’s vital information in Admiral [[Marjorie Graves]]’ quarters that will tell them how to stop the Markers. Only he can decipher the messages on the walls. On the way to the Admiral’s quarters, Isaac hassles Ellie about her relationship with Norton, upset that she's moved on. Ellie defends her position, reaffirming that she left him because he “gave up” on everything. Despite their history, they need his help to solve the situation with the Markers. Mankind faces certain extinction without him and Ellie is certain to remind Robert of this whenever he suggests they head back to Earth space.
As Isaac and Carver head up the mountain, Isaac continually keeps in contact with Ellie forgiving him after she is attacked by Necromorphs. Isaac and Carver reunite with Ellie and Santos but a giant Necromorph attacks the lift and eventually brings down the side of the cliff, killing Santos and once again separating Isaac from Ellie. After killing the Necromorph, Isaac and Carver once again climb the mountain and meet back up with Ellie where she and Isaac have a tender moment holding each other and almost kiss before Carver interrupts them. Ellie and Isaac once are separated when a ladder collapses under Isaac and Carver.
 
   
  +
Once Isaac decodes Graves message about a [[Codex|key]] thought to control the Markers, Ellie helps the others prep the [[CMS Crozier|CMS ''Crozier'']] for takeoff while Isaac searches for the necessary salvage parts to refurbish the ship with <ref name="DS34">''[[Dead Space 3]]'': [[Chapter 4: History's Ember]]</ref>. After acquiring the flight path necessary to reach the ship, Ellie and the others brave the debris and the mines in their path to reach the planet.
They later reunite with Ellie in a lab where they discover they have to reassemble Rosetta. After finding all the pieces and reassembling her, Isaac experiences a vision where he figures out the planet isn't the Marker homeworld but the planet's moon is in fact artificial and is Convergence, the event foretold by Unitology and that the "turn it off" message written on the admiral's walls earlier was a message from the Markers themselves, who wish the machine disabled. Isaac then pulls out the codex needed to do so but is greeted by Danic who has taken Carver and Ellie hostage. The codex is taken from Isaac and Danic orders them to be killed. However a gas leakage allows them to escape when Danic's men are eaten by the gas. Ellie hacks the door and allows Isaac and Carver to escape but the gas is spreading to fast for her to escape. Pleading for Isaac to escape, Ellie says "I love you" to Isaac before he and Carver slam the door shut. Isaac is immediately guilt stricken that he once again allowed his love to die.

During the approach to the planet, Ellie and the others are separated from Isaac when the ship breaks apart<ref name="DS37">''[[Dead Space 3]]'': [[Chapter 7: Mayhem]]</ref>. Ellie, Carver and Robert guide the group to momentary shelter where they find snow suits to survive the cold. An injured Buckell is unable to be saved; the group is too afraid to venture down below to check for other suits<ref name="DS38">''[[Dead Space 3]]'': [[Chapter 8: Off The Grid]]</ref>. After an encounter with a pack of Necromorphs, Ellie and the others make it safely inside the research facility. Ellie is relieved to see Isaac safe when he finally reaches the facility. Frustrated with how things have been going, a jealous Robert questions Ellie’s feelings for him, butting heads with Isaac in the process. Santos is able to break up the fight with the discovery of information on an experiment conducted by Serrano’s research team in attempt to locate the [[Alien Machine|the machine's]] exact location <ref name="DS39">''[[Dead Space 3]]'': [[Chapter 9: Onward]]</ref>.
Isaac and Carver continue on to the center of the planet after Danic. After Isaac and Carver regain the codex, Danic reveals that Ellie survived the gas and he has her at gunpoint. At Ellie's pleas Isaac is ready to sacrifice her so that the Convergence doesn't happen. Carver however, seeking redemption for his family's deaths, grabs the codex and tosses it to Danic. Danic inserts the Codex and begins Convergence but is killed by falling debris. Isaac grabs Ellie and tells her that after he is finished, everything is going to be destroyed including himself. Carver tells them both to escape and that he will stay to finish it, but Isaac points out he is the "Marker killer". Isaac hands Ellie a torn picture of him and tells her to escape on a nearby shuttle. Ellie and Isaac share one final kiss together before she flees in the shuttle.

On the way to the warehouse on the other side of the camp, they are attacked by the Unitologists who’ve managed to follow them. Separated from Isaac, Ellie and the others make a desperate attempt to escape the Circle members perusing them<ref name="DS310">''[[Dead Space 3]]'': [[Chapter 10: Now We Know]]</ref>. Once they’re safe, Ellie helps Santos conduct the experiment on the frozen corpse of the creature known as the "[[Nexus]]". Santos locates thousands of signals beneath the surface of the planet, but they need to head further up the mountain to continue on. Ellie and Santos head out to prep the climbing gear for the climb up the mountain, leaving Norton and Carver to look after Isaac. Unbeknownist to Ellie, Norton, planning to retake control of the mission, leaves Isaac and Carver trapped in the elevator.<ref name="DS311">''[[Dead Space 3]]'': [[Chapter 11: Signal Hunting]]</ref><ref name="DS312">''[[Dead Space 3]]'': [[Chapter 12: Autopsy]]</ref>
After destroying the Markers once and for all, Isaac and Carver freefall towards the planet. As he falls, Isaac pulls out the other half of the torn picture of Ellie and looks at it one final time before allowing it to blow away. Ellie sits in the shuttle and calls Isaac's comm hoping to hear him. After the Marker signal is terminated, Ellie smiles to herself telling Isaac that he really did it. Ellie then sets a course for Earth and stares at Isaac's picture before heading off. After the credits roll, a sudden communication starts of Isaac's voice calling out for Ellie, showing that Isaac may still be alive. {{Spoiler End}}

When Carver and Isaac reach them, Ellie is quick to notice Robert isn’t with them. Isaac tells her that he shot Robert without expounding further on details and Ellie is distraught by the news, Carver jumps in and defends Isaac saying Norton betrayed them and he was going to kill them and what Isaac did saved the mission. Carver is quick to remind them of the mission and Isaac volunteers to traverse the mountain first while Santos comforts the mourning Ellie. Isaac tries again to explain that he killed Robert in self-defense, but Ellie, denying Robert's betrayal, won’t hear him out. He manages to reach a cargo cage and uses Kinesis to bring the cage down to them. As it descends, Carver, Ellie and Santos are attacked by Necromorphs. Ellie and Carver protect Santos from the horde as the cage ascends. After fighting off some necromorphs, Ellie goes back to talking to Isaac about Norton, The reason she wouldn't hear Isaac out was because she was confused on why Norton was trying to kill Isaac. Isaac reveals how Norton blamed him for the mess they are in, Norton wanted to go home but Isaac wanted to continue the mission. Ellie thought Norton knew how important the mission was, but Isaac assures her that he is here for her.  She lets Isaac know they’re safe and reminds him to be careful, not wanting to lose him the same way she lost Robert.

  +
At the top of the cliff, Ellie and Carver are the first to step out of the cage while Santos gathers their equipment. Her methodical movements leave her open to an attack by the [[Snow Beast]]. Ellie stands by while Carver and Isaac struggle to save Santos from the creature. Carver warns Isaac the creature will bring them and the cliff face down with Santos if they don’t cut her loose. Ellie watches as Carver breaks the cage's wire rope at the base, Santos plummets to her death in the cage. The creature survives and pulls Isaac down the cliff with him<ref name="DS313">''[[Dead Space 3]]'': [[Chapter 13: Reach for the Sky]]</ref>.

  +
After killing the Necromorph, Isaac regroups with Carver and Ellie. Ellie assures Isaac there was nothing he could save Santos. Ellie, Carver and Isaac are separated again when a ladder collapses under Isaac. Ellie and Carver continue onward to the Rosetta Lab where they learn they have to reassemble the remains of [[Rosetta]]<ref name="DS314">''[[Dead Space 3]]'': [[Chapter 14: Everything Has Its Place]]</ref>. After finding all the pieces and reassembling Rosetta, Isaac experiences a vision that shows him what [[Convergence Event|Convergence]] truly is. During that time, Ellie and Carver are taken hostage by Danik, who’s caught up with them. Isaac, unaware of danger, explains to Ellie and Carver what he saw and is taken aback when he realizes what is happening.
  +
  +
The Codex is taken from them. Isaac attempts to stop Danik using the room’s decontaminant process. The hazardous material takes out but a few Unitologists; Danik is still able to escape. Ellie hacks the door and allows Isaac and Carver to escape but the gas drives her into the operator’s booth. Ellie tries one more time to escape, but hesitates, fearing she’ll be killed by the gas. Ellie urges Carver and Isaac to go on without her and stop Danik. She tells Isaac she loves him before Carver seals the room off.
  +
  +
In spite of what appeared to be her death, Ellie manages to escape using the ducts, but she is caught by the Unitologists<ref name="DS318">''[[Dead Space 3]]'': [[Chapter 18: Kill or Be Killed]]</ref>. Danik decides to use her as leverage against Carver and Isaac who’ve stolen the Codex from him. Ellie, ready to die for the mission, pleads with Carver and Isaac to finish the mission and prevent Convergence. Carver however, seeking redemption for his family, grabs the Codex and tosses it to Danik. Danik uses the Codex to re-start Convergence and is killed by falling debris shortly afterward. Carver tells Ellie to warn someone what they saw and that he will stay to finish it. Isaac chooses to stay with him, wanting see the mission through to the end. Isaac hands Ellie a torn picture of himself and tells her to run. Ellie and Isaac kiss before she heads for the Unitologist shuttle.

  +
Ellie remains in orbit during the battle. After a moment she tries to hail Carver and Isaac to no avail. But, she’s quick to realize that the Marker signal has stopped. Ellie smiles, surprised they managed to stop Convergence. She sets a course for Earth and shocks out of the system. Whether she hears Isaac’s attempt to communicate with her remains unconfirmed<ref name="DS319">''[[Dead Space 3]]'': [[Chapter 19: Endings]]</ref>.

== Trivia ==
 
== Trivia ==
  +
*Ellie is voiced by [[Sonita Henry]], who provides her likeness to the character.
*Ellie is one of the four named survivors of the Sprawl outbreak; the others being [[Isaac Clarke|Isaac]], [[Lexine Weller]], and [[Tyler Radikov]]
 
*When Isaac first encounters Ellie in the Transport Hub, the large poster behind her is a picture of [[Sonita Henry]], who provides her voice and likeness.
 
*Whenever Ellie is fighting Necromorphs, she is invincible, and can kill [[Slashers]] with one shot with her [[plasma cutter]].
 
*The video of Stross stabbing Ellie in the eye cuts out an instant before she is actually stabbed. When Ellie is encountered later, she has a deep gash running from her right temple to her now-empty eye socket. It stands to reason that Ellie attempted to turn away before she was pierced, causing the screwdriver to enter from the side rather than directly through the pupil, cutting her face as it came out the other end.
 
*It should be noted that, in the end of ''Dead Space 2'', when Isaac gets in the ship with Ellie, Ellie's health bar is empty. It may be a glitch or perhaps this is due to the fact that Ellie is wearing another suit on top of her normal RIG. In ''Dead Space'', the crew of the Kellion all appear to have empty health bars until they sync them up with the ship, it is possible Ellie's rig de-synced with Titan Station when she entered the escape pod, and it is off rather than empty.

"You complete bastard! Was this your great plan? Dump me off and die?"
—Ellie[1]

Ellie Langford is one of the survivors of the Necromorph outbreak aboard The Sprawl. Ellie was reluctant to trust anyone and thus relied on herself. She served as a Class IV Heavy Equipment Pilot under the employment of the Concordance Extraction Corporation.

Biography

Spoilers

Outbreak on The Sprawl

During the initial spread of the outbreak, Ellie's group encountered the Necromorphs and abandoned their duties[2][3]. Ellie, Kaleb and workers from Shift 1 fought their way through the CEC Facility to reach the Government Sector.[4] They guided several workers from Shift 2, including Sorenson, toward them and away from the Necromorphs that were beginning to overrun the facility. In turn, Sorenson urged other workers to locate Ellie’s RIG and follow her route to safety[5]. The group's number dwindled as they struggled to find a way out of the facility until only Ellie and Kaleb remained. Apparently injured, Kaleb chose to sacrifice himself, acting as the last line of defense with a Line Gun to allow Ellie a chance to escape.[6]

Meeting Isaac

On her own, Ellie struggles to reach the Government Sector, unaware it is the location of Site 12 Marker. At some point during her journey through the Concourse she encounters an individual who claimed to want to help her; they try to kill her, but she manages to escape. Repairing the control panel to an elevator, Ellie is attacked by a swarm of Slashers; she uses a security gate to protect herself from the swarm as she wears them down. Near the end of the battle she is discovered by Isaac Clarke, on his way to the Transport Hub. Isaac offers his assistance, believing that they could work together. Ellie declines, citing that bringing anyone with her would be “a liability” [7]. She warns him not to follow her and continues onward.

Shortly after parting ways, Ellie encounters Nolan Stross. Despite her distrust of both him and Isaac, she contacts the engineer to let him know she found him. In the face of her threats to kill Stross, Isaac convinces her to keep him alive. Isaac, Ellie, and Stross then decide to band together to escape the Sprawl[7] Despite Stross' increasing dementia and insanity, Ellie is left to guard the scientist whenever Isaac leaves to clear a path for their escape. Ellie provides Isaac with waypoints to aid in their escape, and is eventually able to operate a tram[8][9].

Their progression to the Government Sector was hindered following the tram track's destruction by Hans Tiedemann's control over the Solar Array's beam[10]. Isaac decides to head back into the Ishimura and activate the ship's Gravity Tethers to pull them toward the Titan Shard by force. Ellie is left with Stross in the tram again, Isaac enteres the Ishimura on his own.

Throughout Isaac’s journey through the derelict ship, Stross grows increasingly violent toward Ellie, biting and threatening her with a screw driver[11]. During the engineer’s escape in an escape pod, Stross attacks and overpowers Ellie. He stabs her in the eye with the screwdriver in an effort to get her to follow “the steps”. Seemingly undaunted by the loss of an eye, Ellie hunts Stross down in the mines and attacks him with every intention of killing him. He escapes and Ellie warns Isaac to stay on his guard[12].

Ellie is later joined by Isaac in the Titan Mines near the Government Sector following Stross' death. Ellie (now wearing a patch over her missing eye) decides to commandeer a giant drill that will allow them to finally reach the Government Sector[13]. Ellie pilots the drill through a swarm of Necromorphs and the creeping Corruption growing throughout the station. She drives the drill into the heart of the Government Sector, shattering the defensive measures set up by Tiedemann’s security. Ellie and Isaac separate to search for transportation. Ellie discovers a docked gunship and decides to make preparations for their escape. Upon meeting her halfway, Isaac launches the ship with only Ellie aboard. In the face of her protests, Isaac believes he can “save her” where he was unable to save his girlfriend, Nicole Brennan[14].

In spite of Isaac’s efforts, Ellie returns to the station and contacts Isaac, affronted by his meager attempt at a rescue and self-sacrifice. Piloting the gunship, Ellie abruptly smashes through the Marker site's roof. Isaac heads for the ship and they escape before the site is destroyed by the explosion[15].

Pre-Dead Space 3

Sometime after the incident on the Sprawl, Ellie and Isaac begin a relationship. They settled on Luna and live in an apartment on New Horizons Lunar Colony. Ellie was able to purchase an eye to replace the one she lost. Believing Isaac was wallowing in the past, Ellie broached the subject of his confronting the past several times. Isaac chose to “run” from it, believing the past was better off buried. Eventually, Ellie ended their relationship and left Isaac, frustrated with his inaction.

At an unspecified time, Ellie met Robert Norton, John and Damara Carver on Haven Prime. She befriended the Carvers and began a romantic relationship with Norton. When Damara stumbled across information regarding the Sovereign Colonies and their experimentation with the Markers, Ellie and Robert helped her in the effort to find the source of the Markers.

Dead Space: Liberation

Ellie arrives to Uxor too late to reach Damara before she is killed by Jacob Danik and transformed into a Necromorph. She attempts to hail Damara, unaware of her death and instead is answered by John Carver. She explains what his wife was working on with herself and Robert in secret. Ellie asks Carver to help by getting the data stick his wife hid in a stuffed doll to her. Ellie agrees to meet Carver at the Cargo Dock, unaware she is being used as bait to lure Danik and the Unitologists out into the open. When Carver reaches Ellie, Robert and the USM Eudora arrive from high-orbit to get them off-planet.

Despite Robert’s belief that Carver should be left in the dark, Ellie explains in further detail the information unearthed by Damara. She plays the prerecorded message left behind by Damara, which is enough to convince Carver to help them complete Damara’s work. Arriving at Ptolmey Station, Ellie and the others use the station’s triangulation sequence to locate the “master signal” being received by the Markers. Realizing they need a shock beacon and station in order to reach the master signal, they decide to head for Keyhole Station. As they depart, Ellie uses the Eudora’s armaments to destroy the station lest Danik get his hands on the information they discovered.

In transit to Keyhole Station, Ellie tries to decrypt the rest of Damara’s research and learns that some of the script is that of the Markers. She suggests to Robert that they try and contact Isaac, but is shut down by the captain, who believes the engineer's high profile with the Unitologists will bring unwanted trouble to their already complicated mission. Later, Ellie silently comforts Carver as he openly confesses his guilt to his friend, hoping he can put things right by finishing Damara’s mission.

Upon arriving to Keyhole station, they are attacked by Necromorphs and Unitologists that veer them off their path. Ellie is separated from Robert and Carver, but eventually crosses paths with engineer Jennifer Santos and Marker operative Austin Buckell. Unable to regroup with Robert and Carver, Ellie chooses to go on with the mission to Tau Volantis without the two. She, Santos and Buckell prep a Sub-Light Flyer to head through the ShockRing with the coordinates Ellie provides[16]. Ellie shares a few last words with Robert; the two apologize to each other after their fight over Isaac. Ellie confesses to Robert she’s frightened of what will happen on her journey. They shock out of the Carina Nebula, Robert uses the Eudora’s armament to destroy the station and the ShockRing to prevent Danik’s ship from following her.

Dead Space 3

The blind jump to the planet is successful, but shortly thereafter Ellie loses contact with the Eudora. As their ship approached the ruined Sovereign Colonies flotilla the automated mines bombarded them. Ellie and the others managed to abandon Sub-Light Flyer and boarded the CMS Roanoke in search of a safe haven.

When Robert and Carver arrive at Ellie's location with Isaac, Ellie is relieved to see them. After introductions, she explains to Isaac that there’s vital information in Admiral Marjorie Graves’ quarters that will tell them how to stop the Markers. Only he can decipher the messages on the walls. On the way to the Admiral’s quarters, Isaac hassles Ellie about her relationship with Norton, upset that she's moved on. Ellie defends her position, reaffirming that she left him because he “gave up” on everything. Despite their history, they need his help to solve the situation with the Markers. Mankind faces certain extinction without him and Ellie is certain to remind Robert of this whenever he suggests they head back to Earth space.

Once Isaac decodes Graves message about a key thought to control the Markers, Ellie helps the others prep the CMS Crozier for takeoff while Isaac searches for the necessary salvage parts to refurbish the ship with [17]. After acquiring the flight path necessary to reach the ship, Ellie and the others brave the debris and the mines in their path to reach the planet.

During the approach to the planet, Ellie and the others are separated from Isaac when the ship breaks apart[18]. Ellie, Carver and Robert guide the group to momentary shelter where they find snow suits to survive the cold. An injured Buckell is unable to be saved; the group is too afraid to venture down below to check for other suits[19]. After an encounter with a pack of Necromorphs, Ellie and the others make it safely inside the research facility. Ellie is relieved to see Isaac safe when he finally reaches the facility. Frustrated with how things have been going, a jealous Robert questions Ellie’s feelings for him, butting heads with Isaac in the process. Santos is able to break up the fight with the discovery of information on an experiment conducted by Serrano’s research team in attempt to locate the the machine's exact location [20].

On the way to the warehouse on the other side of the camp, they are attacked by the Unitologists who’ve managed to follow them. Separated from Isaac, Ellie and the others make a desperate attempt to escape the Circle members perusing them[21]. Once they’re safe, Ellie helps Santos conduct the experiment on the frozen corpse of the creature known as the "Nexus". Santos locates thousands of signals beneath the surface of the planet, but they need to head further up the mountain to continue on. Ellie and Santos head out to prep the climbing gear for the climb up the mountain, leaving Norton and Carver to look after Isaac. Unbeknownist to Ellie, Norton, planning to retake control of the mission, leaves Isaac and Carver trapped in the elevator.[22][23]

When Carver and Isaac reach them, Ellie is quick to notice Robert isn’t with them. Isaac tells her that he shot Robert without expounding further on details and Ellie is distraught by the news, Carver jumps in and defends Isaac saying Norton betrayed them and he was going to kill them and what Isaac did saved the mission. Carver is quick to remind them of the mission and Isaac volunteers to traverse the mountain first while Santos comforts the mourning Ellie. Isaac tries again to explain that he killed Robert in self-defense, but Ellie, denying Robert's betrayal, won’t hear him out. He manages to reach a cargo cage and uses Kinesis to bring the cage down to them. As it descends, Carver, Ellie and Santos are attacked by Necromorphs. Ellie and Carver protect Santos from the horde as the cage ascends. After fighting off some necromorphs, Ellie goes back to talking to Isaac about Norton, The reason she wouldn't hear Isaac out was because she was confused on why Norton was trying to kill Isaac. Isaac reveals how Norton blamed him for the mess they are in, Norton wanted to go home but Isaac wanted to continue the mission. Ellie thought Norton knew how important the mission was, but Isaac assures her that he is here for her.  She lets Isaac know they’re safe and reminds him to be careful, not wanting to lose him the same way she lost Robert.

At the top of the cliff, Ellie and Carver are the first to step out of the cage while Santos gathers their equipment. Her methodical movements leave her open to an attack by the Snow Beast. Ellie stands by while Carver and Isaac struggle to save Santos from the creature. Carver warns Isaac the creature will bring them and the cliff face down with Santos if they don’t cut her loose. Ellie watches as Carver breaks the cage's wire rope at the base, Santos plummets to her death in the cage. The creature survives and pulls Isaac down the cliff with him[24].

After killing the Necromorph, Isaac regroups with Carver and Ellie. Ellie assures Isaac there was nothing he could save Santos. Ellie, Carver and Isaac are separated again when a ladder collapses under Isaac. Ellie and Carver continue onward to the Rosetta Lab where they learn they have to reassemble the remains of Rosetta[25]. After finding all the pieces and reassembling Rosetta, Isaac experiences a vision that shows him what Convergence truly is. During that time, Ellie and Carver are taken hostage by Danik, who’s caught up with them. Isaac, unaware of danger, explains to Ellie and Carver what he saw and is taken aback when he realizes what is happening.

The Codex is taken from them. Isaac attempts to stop Danik using the room’s decontaminant process. The hazardous material takes out but a few Unitologists; Danik is still able to escape. Ellie hacks the door and allows Isaac and Carver to escape but the gas drives her into the operator’s booth. Ellie tries one more time to escape, but hesitates, fearing she’ll be killed by the gas. Ellie urges Carver and Isaac to go on without her and stop Danik. She tells Isaac she loves him before Carver seals the room off.

In spite of what appeared to be her death, Ellie manages to escape using the ducts, but she is caught by the Unitologists[26]. Danik decides to use her as leverage against Carver and Isaac who’ve stolen the Codex from him. Ellie, ready to die for the mission, pleads with Carver and Isaac to finish the mission and prevent Convergence. Carver however, seeking redemption for his family, grabs the Codex and tosses it to Danik. Danik uses the Codex to re-start Convergence and is killed by falling debris shortly afterward. Carver tells Ellie to warn someone what they saw and that he will stay to finish it. Isaac chooses to stay with him, wanting see the mission through to the end. Isaac hands Ellie a torn picture of himself and tells her to run. Ellie and Isaac kiss before she heads for the Unitologist shuttle.

Ellie remains in orbit during the battle. After a moment she tries to hail Carver and Isaac to no avail. But, she’s quick to realize that the Marker signal has stopped. Ellie smiles, surprised they managed to stop Convergence. She sets a course for Earth and shocks out of the system. Whether she hears Isaac’s attempt to communicate with her remains unconfirmed[27].

As of Dead Space 3: Awakened, Ellie's fate remains unconfirmed as to whether or not she was on Earth during the Necromorph Invasion.
