Biography[]

Pre-Series[]

Born in 1963, Ellen was the daughter of Marine General James Wallace and an unnamed woman.

She later attended high school and presumably joined the United States Marine Corps after that, rising to the rank of Major. She presumably went on numerous assignments before she worked out of the Public Affairs Division which saw her working at the Pentagon.

During her career, she met NCIS Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs with the two beginning a relationship which saw Gibbs proposing to her on November 1, 2000.

However, nearly a year later around mid-July 2001, Gibbs broke off the engagement.

Some time later, Ellen began investigating a possible military cover-up concerning an operation in Kosovo in 1998 and fearing for his career, Marine Daniel Kent murdered her.

Due to the circumstances of September 11 and Flight 77 crashing into the Pentagon, Ellen's death was believed to have been as a result of 9/11 and remained that way for eighteen years.
