This section contains spoilers. As much as possible, major spoilers are grayed out. If you like surprises, though, it's best to simply read Westward from the beginning, which will take you about three hours. Alternatively, if you'd like to dive in at the latest strip (or if you need a refresher), this encyclopedia will help fill in some of the gaps.

Elizabeth Townsend

Lamont Townsend's wife.

Elizabeth has only appeared briefly so far, in the early strips of Episode Two. When Lamont returned from his five-year imprisonment, he was somewhat surprised to find that, though he was believed dead, she had waited for him. Unfortunately, despite her unwavering devotion to Lamont, he was unable to settle back into normal life after the experience. After two years, he accepted an assignment aboard Westward and abandoned Elizabeth for a second time.
