Elle began her relationship with Robert Max, an empath that she had captured previously, while she was still an employee of Primatech. Their relationship was on-off, and shortly after she broke up with him once she realised that she was pregnant. She had two children, Jacob and Lily Bishop. After the birth she was turned into gold by her father. This was an attempt to stop her from losing control of her ability and killing the twins, as foreseen by Angela Petrelli.
