She may be connected to the monastery where Desmond was because there was a picture of her with Brother Campbell on his desk. She was described as kind of 'temporal policeman' by Damon Lindelof who is one of the executive producers of Lost and the head writer for the show.

Here is a picture of her :

Eloise Hawking is a mysterious character who appears to have accurate knowledge of the future and the workings of time. She also appears to be able to travel throughout time. She does not have total foreknowledge of events, however, as she could not see whether Ben and the Oceanic Six would make it back to the Island; mentioning that if they didn't then "God help us all". She appears to have common interests with Ben, working to help him rediscover the island. She was described as a "temporal policeman" by Damon Lindelof.

Besides being the "ring lady" that Desmond met when he traveled back in time, she is also apparently Daniel Faraday's mother and is probably the Other who was holding the gun to Daniel when he was checking out the hydrogen bomb in "Jughead".

I wonder if there's a reason they chose "Hawking" as her last name.

@cfinke: probably the same reasons they used the names Faraday and Locke--they are archetypes based on the famous person.

I am sure it's to create a subconscious connection for the viewer between this character and Stephen Hawking, since he is most associated with A Brief History of Time and Eloise travels through time. Stephen Hawking books have been subtly shown a few times on the show.

Eloise Hawking appears to be Faraday's mother.
So who's his father? I'd bet Widmore's fortune that Faraday's research wasn't being funded by the evil billionaire out of the goodness of the guy's heart. We know they were on the island together, so it's not much of a leap to think that Eloise and Charles produced a baby.
