Meet Elya Valentine, inaugural leader of the Martian colonies!

Dr. Elya Valentine is the inaugural Leader of the Martian colonies! You'll be working closely alongside her as you fulfill your prime directive: to terraform Mars for human colonization. Lynsey Murrell brings Elya's voice to life in our game! Lynsey was a joy to work with and an accomplished actor who we know you'll be hearing in many games to come... including the upcoming Baldur's Gate!



Dr. Elya Valentine was unanimously elected first Leader of the colonies by her peers. Not one for "stuffy titles" or bureaucracy, she prefers for AMI to call her Elya. She gained her Ph.D in Social Psychology and spent her undergraduate years studying Social Studies. Her background allows her to assert authority, remain calm, and deal with the complex circumstances regarding Mars, the International Space Agency, and AMI's personality.

"We'll be making history with this mission. If things proceed according to plan, who knows how far ahead we'll bring humanity." -Elya Valentine

Elya and her crew spent two years living in Antarctica to prepare for the Martian mission. She takes her elected position seriously and honors its duties. She protects the colony's civilian interests at any cost: keeping her people safe and building a better future for them are Elya's top priorities. Elya knows that for this mission to succeed and for humanity to survive as a species beyond Earth, they must find a way to conquer the Red Planet.

"I mean, we're living in sealed bubbles and depending on technology that could fail at any minute. What's riskier than that?" -Elya Valentine
