Elias was a lanky young man with pale skin and a tired, almost haunted appearance. Thick, messy black hair fell in uneven layers around his face, with long bangs hanging low enough to partially cover his gray eyes. His eyes were striking yet exhausted, framed by dark circles that made it look as though he hadn't slept in days. A small beauty mark rested beneath one eye, adding a subtle contrast to his otherwise worn expression. His features were soft but sharp in all the right places, with a straight nose, defined jawline, and slightly parted lips. Multiple piercings lined one ear, giving him a slightly alternative edge. Even standing still, Elias carried an anxious, uneasy energy; the faint sweat on his face and the tense look in his wide eyes made him seem constantly on alert, as if he were expecting something terrible to happen at any moment.
