Captain Chavez

Captain Maria Chavez is Elisa's boss, the Captain of Detectives in the 23rd precinct.

History

Peter Maza was once her boss. [1]

Maria Chavez rose to her rank as Captain of Detectives at a relatively young age. She was involved in several police operations to apprehend Tony Dracon, which culminated in her going undercover as an immigrant running a dry cleaners, which Pal Joey attempted to blow up ("Protection").

When Elisa returned after the World Tour, Chavez was less than thrilled with her long absence, but it worked out well in her favor as she had a cop that Tomas Brod was unfamiliar with to send undercover into his syndicate.

In October, 1996, Captain Chavez temporarily transferred Elisa to the day shift to show a new transfer, Jason Conover the ropes. Her leg was broken when the Hunters later blew up the Clock Tower ("Hunter's Moon Part Three"), but she quickly returned to work ("Nightwatch").

Characteristics

Captain Chavez is a tough and efficient leader, and good friend to Elisa and her family.

She is a Roman Catholic, [2] and has a daughter. [3]

Future Tense

Captain Chavez's daughter, from Future Tense

A daughter of Chavez’ appeared in Puck's illusion as one of the downtrodden humans living in the Xanatos-controlled New York of 2036 ("Future Tense"). This daughter of Chavez’s does indeed exist in the Gargoyles Universe currently, most likely as a baby, although it is doubtful that her future will become quite so bleak.
