Biography
Background
As a child, she saw her planet devastated during the Clone Wars and her people were massacred. Growing up, she became an industrialist and was instrumental in providing equipment needed for the construction of the Imperial Navy. During her time with the Empire, Thrawn became her master. After Thrawn disappeared following the liberation of Lothal, Elsbeth became aware of Thrawn's survival and his location. In the years following the defeat of the Galactic Empire at Endor, she became the magistrate of the city of Calodan. She was a cruel magistrate who would imprison and execute locals on a whim.
The Mandalorian
Learning that Elsbeth knew of Grand Admiral Thrawn's location, the former Jedi Ahsoka Tano came to Calodan to obtain Thrawn's location. As Thrawn was bent on not being found, Elsbeth sent her troops to kill Ahsoka. She defeated them and demanded to know where Thrawn was hiding. Elsbeth refused and began imprisoning and killing locals in retaliation. When the Mandalorian Din Djarin came searching for Ahsoka, Elsbeth tried to persuade him to kill Ahsoka in exchange for a beskar spear.

| ~ Ahsoka to Elsbeth |
When Ahsoka and Djarin returned to the city to confront Elsbeth, she ordered her troopers to kill all the citizens before engaging Ahsoka in combat with the beskar spear, which Ahsoka was unable to cut through with her lightsabers. After a dangerous duel, Ahsoka defeated the magistrate and forced her to give up the location of her master Thrawn, while the Mandalorian easily shot down Elsbeth’s mercenary Lang after a long Mexican standoff.
After Ahsoka defeated Elsbeth, she was removed from power and the previous magistrate (who had helped Djarin and Ahsoka) was reinstated. Afterwards, Elsbeth was presumably either imprisoned or executed (the episode does not explicitly say which one).
