Biography[]
Jason vs. Leatherface[]
In this version, people see through flashbacks that Elias regularly abused his son, Jason, for his deformities and the fact he was mentally handicapped. Regularly chasing Jason while beating him with a belt, calling him a monster and mocking him that he should "take it like a man" claiming he couldn't run to his mother forever. As Elias chases Jason he finds Pamela (referred to as Doris in this comic) who, having had enough of his abusive behavior towards both her and Jason, promptly kills him with a machete to the head.
Friday the 13th: Pamela's Tale[]
In this version, Elias is portrayed as a coal miner in Ohio during the 1940's. Having formed a relationship with Pamela who was only a teenager despite Elias himself appearing to be a bit older they lived in a small trailer together. If Pamela made any mistakes or if Elias even thought she may have made one, Elias would verbally and physically abuse her. Unknown to Elias, he got Pamela pregnant with Jason and continued to beat her when annoyed. As Pamela would mutter to herself believing she and Jason could communicate to one another, Elias who was annoyed decided to violently beat and raped her before going to bed. Fearing for both her and Jason's safety, Pamela kills Elias with an axe before destroying the trailer they lived in and dumping Elias' remains in Crystal Lake.
Reboot[]
Elias was going to serve a major role in the reboot of Friday the 13th. In the reboot, Elias is the first antagonist as well as the first killer. According to the film's story line, Elias leaves his family but remains in the vicinity of Crystal Lake. He becomes a park ranger and then becomes a killer. Elias kills five victims but he is then killed by his wife, Pamela. Elias' reason, for leaving his family, is that he saw the evil inside Jason and how it affected Pamela. The reboot; however, was canceled due to the low sales in the box office of the film Rings.
Personality[]
While versions vary to some degree one thing that is shared in nearly if not all versions is that Elias was an abusive man who tormented his family. He was said to be a man who rarely spoke and in the films he was either unfaithful to his wife or abandoning her and Jason for unknown reasons.

Trivia[]
- Due to never appearing in the films, it is unknown if he was abusive to his family in that continuity.
- The main writer of the first film admits he never created a backstory for Elias. He could only guess that Elias left due to how overprotective Pamela was of their son.
- Elias appears in the original ending of Friday the 13th: Jason Lives. This ending was scrapped because Paramount didn't want the responsibility of exploring Elias' backstory in future installments of the series.
