Eliza was Claymore No. 17 of Clare's generation. She participated in the Northern Campaign with 24 other Claymores. She was a member of Jean's team along with Emelia (No. 27), Natalie (No. 37) and Diana (No. 44). Eliza, like the rest of Jean's team, was defeated by one of the three Awakened Beings during the first battle. The Awakened Being blames their loss on Jean, accusing her of being a terrible leader. Eliza and the rest of Jean's team were saved by the arrival of Veronica's team as back-up.

Claymore
When a shapeshifting demon with a thirst for human flesh, known as "youma," arrives in Raki's village, a lone woman with silver eyes walks into town with only a sword upon her back. She is a "Claymore," a being manufactured as half-human and half-youma, for the express purpose of exterminating these monsters. After Raki's family is killed, the Claymore saves his life, but he is subsequently banished from his home. With nowhere else to go, Raki finds the Claymore, known as Clare, and decides to follow her on her journeys. As the pair travel from town to town, defeating youma along the way, more about Clare's organization and her fellow warriors comes to light. With every town cleansed and every demon destroyed, they come closer to the youma on which Clare has sought vengeance ever since she chose to become a Claymore.
