A lord of the Terran Empire attending Emperor Philippa Georgiou aboard the ISS Charon, the only courtier she leaves alive after learning that Michael Burnham comes from another universe.
Lord Eling is a Terran nobleman seen in the Discovery episode Vaulting Ambition, set in the mirror universe in 2257. He is among the small group of advisers and guards present in the throne room of the palace ship ISS Charon when the Emperor prepares to execute Michael Burnham for treason.
Burnham saves herself by revealing that she is from a parallel universe and producing the insignia of her own Captain Georgiou as proof. To keep the secret, the Emperor hurls a spinning blade that cuts down everyone else in the chamber.
Eling alone is spared. Georgiou buys his silence by naming him governor of Andor on the spot and orders him to have the bodies cleared away.
