==Biography==
==Biography==
===Fall of Reach===
After the crash landing on [[Installation 04]], she continually pestered [[Captain (Navy)|Captain]] [[Jacob Keyes|Keyes]] and the rest of the bridge crew by suggesting they give up, surrender to the Covenant and be taken as prisoners. At this, [[Crewman|crewman]] [[Singh]] threatened to kill her, while Captain Keyes was worried that her talk would stir up similar thoughts in [[Corporal (UNSC)|Corporal]] [[Wilkins]] and his [[UNSC Marine Corps|marine]] fire team. After much of her bickering, Keyes finally submitted and, taking Dowski's words "seriously", he had her tied up so that ''she'' could surrender and be taken prisoner once the Covenant found her.<ref>'''Halo: The Flood''', ''page 73-75''</ref>
Sometime prior to the [[Fall of Reach]], she sent a picture of an [[R7 thrust coupling]] to [[Gail Purdy|Lt. Gail Purdy]], inquiring as to what they were and what their purpose was.{{Ref/Generic|Data Drops|[[Data Drop#Data Drop 6|Data Drop 6]]}}


===Battle of Installation 04===
Later, she was captured by a squad of [[Sangheili]] and [[Unggoy]], and while giving her captors information, she betrayed her comrades by identifying her CO, so that she could prove she was right and be taken prisoner along with the others. The Sangheili proceeded to systematically execute everyone in the group, except Captain Keyes. Dowski became shocked at this and was about to protest when the Sangheili shot her in the forehead with an [[M6D Personal Defense Weapon System|M6D]].<ref>'''Halo: The Flood''', ''page 87-88''</ref>

Later, she was captured by a squad of [[Sangheili]] and [[Unggoy]], and while giving her captors information, she [[Treason|betrayed]] her comrades by identifying her CO, so that she could prove she was right and be taken prisoner along with the others. The Sangheili proceeded to systematically execute everyone in the group, except Captain Keyes. Dowski became shocked at this and was about to protest when the Sangheili shot her in the forehead with an [[M6D magnum]].{{Ref/Reuse|HTFC3}}
==Trivia==
*Ellen Dowski is in some ways similar to [[Peter Bonifacio]], who also collaborated with the Covenant, only to be killed when his usefulness was over. 
*It is unknown why the Elite that killed Dowski chose to use an M6D, since most Elites would rather fight empty handed than use human weapons. In this case, the Elite in question may have simply been "curious" as to how the M6D worked. Alternatively, it may have been regarded as a "just reward" to be killed with a human weapon for having betrayed her human comrades.
