Elias used to work as a hired goon for Nexcorp as one of their security officers. However, he was considered an outsider by his company associates. Although he turned a blind eye toward the various human experiments, ties with various criminal organizations such as the Fountain, and the bribes paid to local and national officials, his willingness to cooperate was beginning to wear down.

The Company knows everything about everyone, however, and they like to keep things clean. Elias was made the fall guy in the botched robbery of Nexcorp's L.A. offices - and the murder of the Nexcorp chief of security. His gun, his prints, no alibi. It would be five years until Elias's case was declared a mistrial. Even now, Elias still doesn't know whether or not the company cares about his release--after all, he's still alive.

After Elias was released from prison, he was recruited by Angelo as a spy for Providence. Despite the pay, he is careful not to get tangled in the web of conspiracies that surround Los Angeles--he knows the consequences for doing so all too well.

Tactics/Combat

Elias never fights fair. When he has to fight a Gladiator, he usually focuses on buying himself time than directly engaging his opponent. Taking potshots while hidden, luring his opponents into ambushes, and leaving escape routes for himself are par for the course. He usually stalls until an opportunity arises for him to either get away or take out his oppenents out from behind.

Elias is an experienced infiltrator. Although you won't see him doing backflips or dodging bullets, Elias is quick on his feet. He moves quickly and quietly from dark corner from dark corner, pickpocketing guards, crawling through vent shafts, and disabling lights to hide his approach. He is observant and can quickly make a mental layout of a room, mapping doors, windows, hiding places, and guard positions.

Although he is an average hand-to-hand fighter, he hasn't had much formal training outside of his job at Nexcorp. He's a decent marksman, able to hit a head-sized target at around 80 ft with his Walther.

In direct combat, Elias is much weaker then most Gladiators. Tactics such as using grenades or other ranged AOEs to flush him out of cover or lying in wait for him as he makes his way in or out of hiding spots can trip him up.

Elias is practical and cautious, but not without a cynical wit. He's a cross between a streetwise noir detective and an experienced infiltrator--the attitude of James Rockford mixed with the cunning of Thief's Garrett.

Elias prefers to stay out of the limelight, getting the job done without heroic antics. He always takes the quietest, safest route past a problem--even if it means running away.
He would much rather sneak past a perilous situation than take any sort of unneccesary risk. However, despite his best efforts, he often finds himself in bad situations anyway, needing to improvise his way out of danger.

Elias is quiet and at ease most of the time. Keeping your composure calm and your mouth shut is an asset in his line of work. When speaking, Elias has a dry, jaded sense of humor. He often cracks wise to himself, his handler, and the various people he meets in his line of work, speaking with a flat tone and a wry grin. Even he knows how weird and ironic the situations he finds himself in are.

Although Elias tries to bury it under a layer of apathy and pessimistic humor, he still has a moral code. Elias took up Angelo's offer mostly for the financial security, not because he thinks he can make a real difference. He has grown apathetic and cynical over the years, wishing for nothing more than to be left in peace. Elias still tries to keep his own house in order despite his apathy. He often spares his opponents if given the choice, (saying that violence is a lot of trouble to deal with) and he will try to help a bystander out of a bad situation despite his reluctance to take risks.

Elias's wry smirk and narrow, expressive face bear a passing resemblance to Sam Lake (the actor and writer for Max Payne). His muddy brown eyes are clever and inquisitive, but without malice. Part of his black hair hangs in a curl above his forehead. His body type could be described as that of a jogger--not muscular, but well breathed. He moves like a cat, nimble and quick on his feet.

When on the job, Elias wears a navy blue raincoat, hood pulled over his head. His cargo pants are tucked into jika-tabi (split-toe) boots. He also takes along a black tube mask, kneepads, hard knuckled gloves, and a waterproof analog watch.

Demo(Outdated)

[11/20/17]

So after taking a nice long nap for several months right after making this wRHG, I'm going to try to make a comeback, beginning with some changes to the
character itself. Elias's basic concept will still be the same, but I will be completely overhauling his handler and the type of organization he belongs to, along with some edits to grammar, presentation, etc. For now, I want to get something done before I accept battles, hence the change in availiability.

[11/25/17]

Finally got some of the changes I want finished.

These changes range from tweaks to presentation to full retcons. I've decided to redo the handler character from scratch, giving him a new name, backstory and appearance. He's still not as fleshed out as I want him to be, but like I said earlier, I want to get something finished.

I also want to redo my demo. A future battle may become a new demo at some point, but for now I'm simple labeling it as outdated.
