Margo Tellefsen is a Flatlander space pilot and captain of the Argos as of 2648.[1][2]

She is described as having long dark hair looking as if in free fall and green eyes.[1]

Beowulf Shaeffer thinks she is a good a pilot as he had been in his prime flying for Nakamura Lines. Beowulf also thinks Margo would've been an excellent actress due to her ability at dissembling.[1]

Unbeknownst to most people Margo is over 250 years old, a fact that she obfuscates by pretending to be insecure or clumsy. Below this façade Margo has been demonstrated to be extremely confident, cunning and witty. It is unknown for how long Margo has been a pilot or if she partook in other activities, such as acting, in the past. Margo shows an affinity for space as exhibited by her look of dreamy wonder when looking at the cosmos.[1]

She is the mother of Larchmont Bellamy and was romantically linked at one point with Beowulf Shaeffer.[1]
