In 2005, the sixteen year old Elbareth caused a brief flurry of media attention with her decision to become a follower of Jainkozaharra She is the first known non-Christian member of the House of Arthurius and will be the first Lady Protector who is not a member of the Catholic Church or the Church of Arthurista in the nation's history if she is to assume the Shield as planned.

Military career
