Elva Nilsen
Elva Nilsen is chief administrator of the International Accreditation Forum (IAF).
Within THE AUDITOR universe, Elva is portrayed as highly paranoid and reclusive, wrapping herself in a special metal foil to prevent herself from being photographed. Elva has admitted that because of the ISO certification scheme’s pyramid revenue structure, “your auditor could shoot the President on Fifth Avenue, and IAF wouldn’t do anything about it.”
Elva revealed to Alex Mendes that the IAF is so secretive, it only communicates via “carrier pigeons, Navajo code talkers, and through shadowy third parties in underground car parks.”
Elva lives in Canada, but will deny it if asked. Reportedly, Canada also wishes it could deny Nilsen.
THE AUDITOR creator Christopher Paris based Nilsen’s design on the 1933 film The Invisible Man starring Claude Rains.
