Elias

Elias Edwards is a wandering monk, who tends to benefit himself through deception.

Unkempt hair, most of the times a three-day beard, and scheming looking green colored pair of eyes - the first impression you get from Elias is that of a rapscallion. His voice reinforces this even further, as Elias usually talks as if he knew no sorrow in this world. Untypically for a monk he has long pitch black hair that is either tied or just hanging around in a wild fashion. At the moment he has dyed his hair blonde.

The wide and comfortable monk clothes hide his well-toned body. Strengthened by all the wandering around Elias is definitely in a very good shape. With almost 2m height he is easily towering over most people.

Elias does not wear anything fancy and no jewelry. His possessions are limited to a travel bag and a sturdy looking wooden stick that has the length and width of an infantry spear.

He has a small pendant with a blue crystal in it, shaped somewhat like a tear.

Since he was taken in by an old monk who felt pity for the orphan, Elias has decided to be a monk himself (a story that he likes to tell a lot). Wandering around without a care in the world, Elias is an easygoing and freedom loving person. He doesn't stay long at one place, especially if things get hairy he will be the first one to get away. Things get hairy a lot by the way and he himself might be sometimes at fault.

Ambition is for losers he says while gambling half the day.

Elias talks a lot and has a lot of stories to share.

His monk duties include divination, exorcism, blessings and last rites.

Divination
Some say he is a lousy crook, some say he can really see the future.

Exorcism
Some say he is really able to sense and disperse evil spirit, some say he is fraud.

Survivalist
Elias is accustomed to living on the road and thus has zero problems with surviving in the wilderness.

Martial Arts
Seems to know how to fight.

Supernatural Skills
Nobody has really seen Elias using anything that would look like magic (beyond the usual sutras of the monks that don't seem to do much). During the fight against blood mages of the Lekapo family he seemingly countered a blood magic spell.
