Elliot Swann

Councilor Elliot Swann was sent by the Board of Directors of the UAC to investigate strange occurrences on the Mars Base in Doom 3, in particular the experiments of Dr. Betruger with teleportation devices.

His first appearance in the game is the cutscene shown near the beginning of the game, in which he disembarks (with his bodyguard, Jack Campbell) from the same dropship that has taken the player to Mars. Shortly after, his character is expanded upon in another cutscene in which the Doomguy hears a conversation held between him and Doctor Malcolm Betruger. In following appearances, his primary objectives are to stop the transmission of the message that would alert the military reinforcements in Earth orbit, and consequently would allow the demons to hijack their spaceships and attack civilians on Earth. Once this transmission is avoided by available methods, his objective becomes to stop Betruger.

He is always followed by Jack Campbell, his bodyguard, who is found shortly before his death.

Councilor Swann is always seen in cutscenes with the exception of one point in the game when he gives the player his PDA so that he can access a restricted part of the base. At this point, he is obviously gravely injured and speaks with great difficulty.

In the end of the game, it is revealed that he passed away during the story, defeated either by demons or by Betruger or by the Sabaoth.
