History

Early History

Elias was born to a rich family in Manila

alongside his twin sister, with his father being
the son of a prostitute and his mother being the
daughter of a rich man. Told that their father
was dead, the twins also witnessed their mother
die in their youth. Raised by their maternal
grandfather, the two lived happy lives.

One day, Elias antagonized a distant relative and

they taunted him with his supposed illegitimacy.
As Elias was insulted, the relative later made
Elias' heritage known to the public using Elias'
family servant, which was actually his father in
disguise.

Renouncing his wealth, Elias ran away with his

father and sister. After his father died, his sister
went missing; half a year later, Elias learned of a
girl matching his sister's description having
been discovered drowned in Calamba, Laguna.
Since then, Elias became a fugitive, wandering
around the country.[1] At some point, he came
into contact with the group of bandits led by
Capitan Pablo in Tanauan, Batangas.[2] He also
at one point discovered that the root of his
family's misfortune was the rich man his
grandfather worked for, Don Pedro
Eibarramendia.[1]

Spokesman of the Oppressed

Elias eventually came to San Diego, although

becoming a fugitive after attacking both Padre
Damaso and the alferez.[3] He also, at some
point, met the young girl Salome and the two
became sweethearts.[4]

Later on, Elias worked as a boat pilot during

Ibarra's Kshing trip. Seeing a crocodile entangled
in the nets, Elias jumped in to kill it, although
struggling. With his life soon after saved by
Ibarra,[5] Elias Ned the picnic, knowing he was
being pursued by the Guardia Civil.[3]

He then visited Salome at her house by the lake

as usual, and the two fell to talking about Elias'
day. When Salome announced that she was
moving to Mindoro to live with her relatives, Elias
refused her oPer to come with her, telling her to
Knd a more honorable man. As Salome made a
last request for Elias to live in her house after
she left, Elias was overcome with emotion and
Ned.[4]

A Debt to Repay

At some point, Elias learned that Ibarra's life was

being targeted. Feeling indebted to the man, he
warned him during Padre Damaso's sermon
during the town Kesta that his life was in
danger.[6] Later on during the cornerstone-
laying ceremony for Ibarra's school, Elias saved
Ibarra from being killed by the derrick operator,
killing the derrick operator instead.[7]

Weeks later, Elias visited Capitan Pablo and

asked him and his forces to stop their violence.
He then informed them that they could enlist
Ibarra's help in asking for reforms.[2] Later on,
Elias invited Ibarra to a boat ride on the lake,
asking him in private to help him with his cause.
As Ibarra argued that some oppressive
institutions were necessary,[8] Elias told him the
story of his family's misfortune.[1]

Later on, Elias learned of the impending attack

on the Guardia Civil barracks, and that Ibarra
would be implicated in the attack. He then
warned him so, helping him dispose of letters
that could be used against him. In doing so,
Elias discovered that Ibarra was descended from
Don Pedro, the cause of his family's
misfortunes, and almost killed him before
leaving soon after.[9]

When the attack pushed through and Ibarra was

arrested, Elias set Kre to his house to destroy
any possible evidence that could implicate
him.[10] Later on, Elias freed Ibarra from prison
and brought him to Maria Clara, watching the
two exchange their goodbyes.[11] While on the
river, the two were pursued by the Guardia Civil;
agreeing with Ibarra to meet at his grandfather's
tomb in two days' time, Elias jumped into the
water as a diversion, saving Ibarra.[12]

Not sleeping or eating, Elias made his way to

Ibarra's grandfather's tomb in the woods,
coming upon a young boy, Basilio, and his dead
mother. Instructing the boy to build a pyre and
cremate his body, the young boy agreed, going
oP into the woods to gather Krewood. Before the
boy could return, Elias died.[13]

Personality and Traits

Elias was a selNess man bound by a code of

honor. Growing up wealthy, he was initially an
arrogant individual; his quarreling with a relative
and beating up his disguised father was
emblematic of this. After losing everything and
learning the true history of his family, Elias
dedicated himself to helping those also
oppressed by society. To this end, he worked
with Capitan Pablo’s bandits and lived the life of
a fugitive.

Because of his experiences, Elias was

disillusioned with the status quo and believed
that only a violent revolution could bring about
the change he desired for both himself and
others. This belief was challenged by Ibarra, and
the two sought to reconcile their diPerences in
viewpoint.

Elias’ capability for violence was tempered by a

strong set of morals. This manifested in his
refusing to kill Ibarra as a descendant of the
cause of his family’s misfortune, instead
redeeming himself and his family by dying for
the young man. Elias also believed that his
family, including himself, was cursed, and
purposefully detached himself from people,
even those he had intimate relationships with
such as Salome.

Character Connections

Crisostomo Ibarra: A man whom Elias helped on

multiple occasions. Following his rescue of Elias
from a crocodile, Elias felt indebted to Ibarra,
saving his life on numerous occasions as a way
of repaying said debt. He also saw some use for
Ibarra as a man of great wealth and inNuence,
recommending to Capitan Pablo that the
bandits make use of Ibarra's resources. Elias
thus sought to convince Ibarra of his ideals, the
two clashing with their perspectives. After
learning of Ibarra being descended from the
man that kickstarted the misfortune plaguing
Elias' family, Elias was initially overcome with
murderous rage, before eventually coming to.
Such was Elias' belief in Ibarra that he eventually
laid down his life for him.
