"Times have changed. So have the military and war itself..."

—Eleanor Varrot, Valkyria Chronicles 3

Eleanor Varrot (エレノア・バーロット, Erenoa Bārotto^?) is the 3rd Regiment Captain and direct superior to Welkin in the Valkyria Chronicles videogame and anime. She is voiced by Atsuko Tanaka in the Japanese version and Julia Fletcher in the English version.

Profile

She is one of the most feared yet respected officers in the Gallian military. Drafted during EW1, she joined Gallia's militia as a sniper, electing to remain in the military after the war's end. Her work ethic quickly saw her promoted. She is often dealing with General Damon of the regular army, who looks down on the Militia's soldiers as base and unrefined.

An avid reader, her private quarters are a sea of books ranging from economic treatises to children's literature. One local bookshop owes her its livelihood. During EW1, she and Largo were posted to the same squad. They were both decorated after one operation that saw them defeat five enemy tanks on their own. A lust for revenge for her slain love, Frederic, drove her to remain in the militia until, moved by Largo's words, she was able to lay her past to rest.

After EW2, she retired from the armed forces, and began a publishing outfit. Later, she and Largo married, and it is said that she spends her vacations with him at his farm, wearing a straw hat that he made for her.

Expanded Biography (VC3)

"A tragic woman who climbed up the military ladder in hopes of avenging her lover."

—VC3 COMPLETE ARTWORKS Description

Varrot was a veteran soldier in charge of the militia's 3rd Regiment. She proved herself to be highly effective in battle and earned the rare honor of being a female officer within Gallian's military forces. Even after the First Europan War was over, Varrot stayed with the military for the sole purpose of exacting revenge for her lover's death during the war. Through hard work and sheer force of will, Varrot eventually earned the rank of captain. Largo was a former comrade of Varrot's from her days in the First Europan War. They worked exceptionally well together, and one legend tells of them taking down five enemy tanks between the two of them, a feat for which they were awarded medals. Since Largo left the military scene for a while after the First Europan War, Varrot came to outrank him, but their mutual respect and trust never changed.

Varrot was plagued by her obsession with revenge for a very long time but through Largo's patient help and support, she was eventually able to move on.

Trivia

• Eleanor Varrot holds the rank of Captain (a junior rank) which generally has command over a Company or Battery sized formation, yet she commands a Regiment which is normally a position held by a Colonel (most senior below first level of General). She may hold the temporary authority of a Colonel known as a brevet rank, but still be paid as a Captain. This is implied in the final sentence of The Gallian Army in the Glossary section of the game.
• She is a hidden recruitable character in the European and North American version of Valkyria Chronicles 2. She is unlocked after your Scout class reaches level 50.
• In Valkyria Chronicles 3, she's once again a recruitable character by using data conversion from the PS3's Valkyria Chronicles (US/JPN) Save File.
• Eleanor is part of the original set of gashapon figures sets released around the time of Valkyria Chronicles Japanese release alongside Alicia, Isara, and Rosie.
• She has a technical drawing of the cut Gallian Tank Destroyer in her office.
