Biography[]
Elias was once a member of the Horadrim and an apprentice of Lorath Nahr. However, Elias broke the rules and tried to summon demons. Lorath, instead of killing him, banished Elias from the Horadrim.
Elias started to search a way for protecting Sanctuary before Great Evils strike. He decided that the only option was to summon Lilith back into the Sanctuary. Elias additionally made a deal with Tree of Whispers, granting him immortality for a prize of his finger.
Elias joined two adventurers and a cleric named Symon and found underground chamber with them. He was apparently killed by Ghouls, but returned and slained adventurers. He later forced Symon to summon Lilith back into The Sanctuary.
In 1336, after corrupting Nevesk, Lilith sent Elias to Dry Steppes to finish their preparations. He was followed by Lorath.
Elias kidnapped Taissa in Kehjistan and inked dozens of runes on her skin, planning to use her as a gate to summon Andariel. However, Lorath interrupted the ritual and stabbed Elias in the neck with a horn, which allowed him to escape with Taissa.
Unfortunately, Elias managed to finish the ritual and Andariel appeared in The Sanctuary. She was immediately killed by The Wanderer.
Eventually, The Wanderer, Taissa and Lorath confronted Elias in Hawezar and fought with him. After realizing his immortality was negated, Elias tried to escape, but was chased down and captured. Elias insulted Lorath and called him weak, before Taissa sliced his throat open, killing him for good.
After his death, Elias's head was taken by the Tree of Whispers and hanged in there for all eternity.
