a closer look.
Standing 6'5'' tall he seems like a silent giant, towering over his surroundings ⸺ like a guardian, a protecting presence.
Elijah is usually calm and collected, rarely looses his temper and is mostly silent when around people, especially in new environments. Only speaking when spoken to, it's hard to catch a glimpse of what's actually going on behind sealed lips and a perfected pokerface. Given his background, Elijah is in his head a lot, reflecting himself and the choices he made.
Yet, his defining characteristics are his drive, focus, passion, endurance and efficiency. No matter if it concerned his private life or work his goals came first, sacrifices second. When he sets his mind to something, be assured he gets it done.
Elijah is a heavy smoker. His favorite brand is Camel.

OVERTURE   Born and raised in the outskirts of Fairbanks, Alaska, Elijah grew up surrounded by nature and an environment, that barely let in any warmth. Growing up with an absent father and a mother that was overwhelmed by the boy's nature, Elijah learned quickly how to take his life in his own hands and thus, exceeding expectations he set for himself.
Ever since his childhood years Elijah wasn't nearly as passionate for school as his younger brother David Williams, but whenever he set a goal for himself, he always managed to achieve it⸺ no matter if it was an A in literature to impress the pretty girl in front row, or becoming football captain to get back at the idiot who dared bullying David.
Due to his upbringing, shaping character happened quicker than with other guys. Even in school he was known for being passionate for things he cared about. He was rebellious, impulsive and reckless. His goals came first, sacrifices second ⸺ but people admired him for that. Elijah quickly grew to become one of the most popular students in his year and the ones below. Guys admired him for who he was and his determination; girls loved him for his looks and the aura that surrounded him. Though he was one of the most liked, still no one knew anything about him, except for his first girlfriend CÉLESTE DUVAL and his later long-time girlfriend, ALEXIA MORALES.There were just two driving forces that eventually led him to accepting the "inquiry of recruitment" by an US Army official, after winning the Wimbledon Cup, a yearly marksmanship competition, not just as the youngest participant in history, but also as son of the former champion ALEX MASON.

REQUIEM   Elijah, nowadays working for the Central Intelligence Agency, is deployed all over the world in classified operations, having recently worked in Moscow, Amsterdam and Kyoto. The government denies any knowledge about said operations whatsoever, as he and his team usually stretch the bounds of legality.
Elijah's tactical expertise and his dedication as a former Marine Captain is highly appreciated amongst his superiors. Thus he was enticed by the CIA, promoting him to an operator of their Special Operations Group.
Though his reputation's scattered with controversies, not always following orders when given, his effectiveness and service record speak for themselves. He was captured, came back from the dead numerous times and was trapped in situations where there were neither hope, nor a chance left. He still always managed to get the job done.
By any means necessary.*Ever since working for one of the many "alphabet agencies", most of Elijah's rather turbulent upbringing is hard to trace. His personal life, as well as his career path and past is redacted ⸺ including his humble beginnings, the years before the military and intermittent faux pas.
The Paramilitary operations officer almost seems like a ghost, when it comes to traceability.
As if he never existed.
