Biography[[edit] | [edit source]]
Dr Emilia Winston was once in love, but the relationship came to an end. She continued to long for it in her old age and wondered if the relationship could ever be rekindled. (PROSE: Tears of the Oracle [+]Loading...["Tears of the Oracle (novel)"])
By 2593, Winston had been head of the History department at St Oscar's University for longer than anybody cared to remember. As her department had something of a rivalry with the Archaeology department because of finances, Winston was often in conflict with Divson Follett (PROSE: Dragons' Wrath [+]Loading...["Dragons' Wrath (novel)"]) and they traded polite insults which masked either hatred or a grudging affection.

Winston was approached by Mastrov with a proposal for funding and sponsorship in return for Nicholas Clyde joining Romolo Nusek's expedition to Stanturus Three and arranged a meeting, inviting Follett. Whilst Nicholas agreed to go, Bernice Summerfield had reservations and remained behind to speak with him. Winston avoided making eye contact with Follett and Mappin Gilder as they left.

Benny employed the help of both Winston and Follett to locate the Oracle of the Lost on KS-159 some months after the destruction of St Oscar's. After finding it, Winston privately asked it whether her love could be rekindled and was instead advised to replace it. She was greatly upset after Follett was murdered by Kebara.

Personality[[edit] | [edit source]]
Although Winston seemed pleasant to Bernice Summerfield, she ran her department with a metaphorical rod of tempered duralinium and did not get on with Divson Follett, who thought she was a "dreadful woman". (PROSE: Dragons' Wrath [+]Loading...["Dragons' Wrath (novel)"])
