Elijah Phelps

Elijah Phelps is a character from QIA. 
== Biography ==
Elijah was the lover of the deceased Captain Chris Darby; he revealed their relationship publicly for the first time during Darby's funeral in 2019 ("Manchester"). Despite the non-disclosure agreement that all QIA agents are required to sign, Darby frequently told Elijah about his missions ("Reclamation").
Three years after Darby's death in the line of duty for the QIA, Elijah had founded the organisation known as Prometheus and had, through his agent Frank Nadler, followed through on his plan to expose the agency through the Prometheus Leak. This was not yet enough to satisfy Elijah, however, who desired revenge for Darby and wanted to see the agency destroyed. To test them, he had Nadler set up the Cape Town infraction. ("Zoey")
Following Amber Harvey's declaration of support for the QIA eight weeks later, Elijah ordered Nadler to oversee the York 2008 infraction, using means as yet unrevealed - though he may well have had help from Brent Hall, to whom he sent Nadler to seek a deal in exchange for information about Carlos Sánchez. 
The infraction failed, and when Nadler was arrested by the London Field Team, he named Elijah as part of a plea bargain, which led to Elijah's arrest. However, Elijah later cut his own deal with DCI John Turner, naming Sarah Cunnington as the bomber behind the St Paul's cathedral attack; he was subsequently released from police custody, and currently remains at large. ("¥o¬ Cø~1")
Later, evidence surfaced revealing that Elijah - working in partnership with Mohamed Marzouq of The Circle - may have been the one who shot Erik Draper in Washington; he was discovered to have withdrawn £100 from a cash machine just four blocks from where Erik had been shot, on the same day. ("Destiny") 
Despite giving this evidence, along with the phone call between Elijah and Marzouq detailing the hit on Erik, to Robyn Urquhart, he evaded arrest. Not long after this, Elijah, having been tipped off by Róisín Lynch, abducted Brent Hall with the intention of luring out Sarah Cunnington so that he could kill her, thereby preventing Chris' death. To prove that the future can be changed, he showed Hall a photograph of him and Róisín in Times Square in the future, then shot Róisín dead and finally showed Hall the same photo, in which neither of them now appeared. Elijah then took Hall to the German island of Hiddensee, where he would act as bait; however, during the subsequent scuffle with the Field Team, Hall got hold of a gun and shot Elijah dead, to avenge Róisín. ("Ascension")
