Current affairs
Elias has experienced an unprecedented string of losses in the ring over the past few months—a trend that is vaguely traceable back to his defeat at an important Booty Bay match this past winter, in which he sustained a serious head injury. His formidable reputation has consequently come under fire and he is boxing much less than he used to. He is currently serving the Alliance's interests in Northrend, although it is doubtful that his intentions are entirely noble; rather, he's probably just bored out of his mind.

He is frequently thrown out of bars and taverns for brawling.

Description
Elias is average in stature with a wiry build and a face that is rather too sharp to be conventionally handsome. Most would fail to find him attractive if it were not for his quick, charming grin, which beneath its spontaneous charisma nevertheless seems to imply a certain degree of untrustworthiness. Elias's constant restlessness expresses itself through a wide array of physical tics: shuffling a deck of cards, chewing on a toothpick, rolling a coin across his scarred knuckles. He is a highly intelligent individual, but his penchant for impulsive behavior and profound love of risk-taking occasionally cancel out his natural cunning and resourcefulness. He is easily frustrated by inactivity, which causes him to become impatient and irritable. Otherwise, he is a generally approachable and good-humored person, and quite useful in a pinch. He is unswervingly loyal to those whom he genuinely cares about, but his intrinsic and apparently unexamined habit of manipulating the people around him, especially the ones that he understands deeply, often complicates his long-term relationships.

Past
Elias had a fairly ordinary urban upbringing in the poorer districts of Stormwind City. It probably goes without saying that he got into many fights as a child and quickly became adroit in the arts of the street, including pick-pocketing, lock-picking, thuggery, and sneaking about in general.
