The Elites are Members of First Legion, First Cohort-Elites, of the Military of Amber. They act as guards in the Castle Amber, as personal protective personnel for royals, and in Embassies.

She applied to the Amber military and was accepted.

She is young for an Elite. Just over 30 years of age,(Not counting her tenure at Nasty Place), including her youth in Dreana, her elevation to the Elites is controversial. Service to a member of the Royal Family not known for dangerous behavior is seen as a cautious step in her career.

She is notable for an encounter while on duty in Calrabon, where she was assaulted by a giant red bear and managed to slay it. Seriously wounded, she recovered at Vulsar Base. A noble family of Calrabon who were endangered by the bear she slew presented her with a fine bear cloak enchanted for comfort regardless of temperature.

Eric's only comment on the matter was that he ran across Hadly in shadow where he was the kind of prison guard the dungeons of Amber could really use.

What is clear is that Sergent Hadly is reluctant to speak of his past. The most he will say is, "I'm glad to be a survivor."
