Known for his air of austerity, Elias is a gruff, cynical man holding an overall bleak outlook on life. This is a consequence of having endured waves of suffering and numerous betrayals since his youth, with nearly all highlights of his life having, in time, become lows. In spite of his guarded, brooding exterior, he has always been soft-hearted and, ultimately, a kind and caring individual. Even as his inner darkness festers deep within him and it's temptation becomes increasingly harder to resist, he retains his empathy and compassion, refusing to completely discard his humanity.

In his formative years, Elias was devoid of true purpose in life, killing as a child mercenary merely as a means to survive. As a blank slate, he often found himself seeking validation from those he respected most, content so long as one person had looked his way. He embarked on a journey of self-discovery. In which he comes to acknowledge his lifelong bond and passion for the sword. Upon realizing this, he begins devoting himself to honing his craft and fighting ever stronger adversaries - having found his newfound purpose in life.

Above all else, he is the personification of persistence and resilience. Through all of his numerous trials and tribulations, he has never yielded to fate and continues to subsist against seemingly insurmountable odds. Indeed, he is an ardent detractor of ideas such as causality and destiny, believing his decisions to ultimately be of his own volition and bearing no regard for such certainities.
