Biography
Elizabeth Peralez is first encountered through a brief and rather reserved holo call to V, offering a job upon meeting with her and her husband Jefferson. Namely, they wish for the death of former mayor of Night City, Lucius Rhyne to be more thoroughly investigated, as they feel that his passing wasn't as clean and comfortable as the media portrayed it.

Upon meeting the couple in Heywood District, V is given a braindance of one of the deceased mayor's last days, in which a cyberpsycho attempts an attack but is swiftly dealt with by River Ward. The Peralez couple explains they find the law enforcement likely to have meddled with these events and allow V to take further steps in scrutinizing their activities.

Upon returning to conclude your findings, several choices will be present. Should V not jump into conclusions, Elizabeth will support their reservation and calm her husband by explaining how their suspicions have been confirmed, therefore proceeding in a much more careful manner with his continued campaign. However, it does seem that they both anticipate Weldon Holt to be behind any potential coverups.

Further down the line of events, Elizabeth will contact V once more, as a reliable individual the couple has had good experience with. The job will, yet again, be of investigative nature, but this time, within their own penthouse in Westbrook District, Charter Hill. Once her worries that the security firm they've hired might be doing something behind their back were proven true, she will admit having more issues than just a breach of safety.

Once V collects more detail on the security company behind the unsettling occurrences troubling the Peralez couple, they will get a call from Elizabeth to meet incognito, in an unsuspecting location. This is where she explains that she had always had supposition of someone directing their lives from behind the curtains, intending to place Jefferson in the mayoral seat, but, due to fear for her family, refused to speak up. She will also make a request of V not to reveal their findings to Jefferson, as she fears he may take a more direct approach at dealing with the situation, which might put him at risk's way. Her planned intention was to inform her husband that SSI, the security firm they've hired, was doing nothing more than spying for Holt, as it would be an easy and believable way to retain their lives in a safe zone.

Regardless of V's actions, both Elizabeth and Jefferson cut holo ties with them, as to keep up the pristine face of campaign and to avoid raising suspicion from whoever is pulling the strings.
