== History ==
=== Origins ===
Born as Elias, his father was a soldier of the Kingdom of Valmont who died in a military campaign, after which he was adopted by his uncle, and grew up alongside his cousins, Ronald, Adam, Benjamin, and Luna, the children of his uncle who was a member of the Dorkshire Garrison. Elias was close to his two middle cousins, Adam and Luna, with whom he spent most of his childhood.
In 93 CE, the Kingdom of Valmont faced a revolt in the northeastern region. The Northern Lords amassed an army of two-hundred men strong, including young lads, among them were the three children of Ser George, Ronald, Benjamin, and Elias who participated in the skirmishes. During the battle, Ser George's eldest son, Ser Ronald who was twenty-years-old at the time perished in war. Afterwards, Benjamin and Elias returned home with the body of their eldest brother who was buried outside the garrison city. While Benjamin aided their father in family affairs becoming a merchant, Elias and Adam joined the Military Academy of Fort Evander, where they studied and trained for three years, after which both brothers were appointed as Garrison Soldiers of Fort Evander.
=== Knighthood ===
Appointed as the Sergeant of the Townsguard of Fort Evander, Elias and Adam earned respect as the 'Green-eyed Eastborn Brothers' for their fighting prowess in dueling and archery. In 95 CE, Fort Evander faced a siege by outlaws and mercenaries led by a group of exiled knights known as the 'Alton Brotherhood of Knights' who were defeated by a strong charge led by Commander of the Townsguard of Fort Evander, Ser Roger Cupps. During the defense, Elias gave strong archery cover to the Townsguard soldiers while Adam assisted the ground forces, crushing the outlaws force and killing most of the exiled knights whilst others went into hiding.
After the siege, the Lord-Viceroy of Fort Evander, Lord Pattwick Albértus knighted the Elite Officers of the Townsguard including Elias and Adam, while Ser Rogers was appointed as the new Lord Commander of Fort Evander in place of its former garrison commander who died in the skirmish. Ser Elias and Ser Adam parted ways as Ser Adam joined the position for knights needed in Dorkshire City, while Ser Elias became Squire to Ser Rogers at Fort Evander alongside other knights, Ser Cole of Dorkshire, Ser Martyn of Eltown, and Ser Eustace of Fort Addams.
=== City Guard of Dorkshire ===
In 98 CE, during a hunt, the entourage of the Albértus Family was ambushed. Defending the knightly family, various household guards and soldiers of the garrison died. Afterwards, Lord Romero Vácqupis was appointed as the new Lord-Viceroy of Fort Evander replacing Lord Pattwick. Following the death of his elder brother, Ser Rogers returned to Cathleen to take leadership of his family.
Meanwhile, Ser Elias traveled to Dorkshire on orders of Lord Romero for the request of garrison knights from Fort Evander with the ongoing tourneys, where he joined the city guard. During this time, the garrison city faced drought and unrest, giving the city guard a wonderful opportunity to control law and order, with Ser Elias playing a dominating role in keeping control during the tourneys and subsequent drought, earning respect of the Sheriff of Dorkshire, Ser Jeffery of Dorkshire and the Lordship of Dorkshire, Lord Kenneth Stoneheart.

In 100 CE, Ser Elias, Captain of the City Guard of Dorkshire was appointed by Lord Kenneth into service of the Albértus Family following the death of the head of the family who died in a military campaign and formerly served as the Commander of the City Guard at Dorkshire. Thereafter, Ser Elias was appointed as the Bodyguard of Master David Albértus, who was the Acting-Lord of Port Albértus in-stead of his elder brother who was participating in the very military campaign that killed their uncle.
In 102 CE, Lord Jonos Albértus returned from the campaign and continued to serve as the 9th Lord of Port Albértus, while Ser Elias continued to served as the bodyguard of Master David.
