Elijah Smith

== Early Life ==
Elijah Smith was born on December 17th, 1593 and is the son of King Magnus and Queen Uberta. When Elijah was 6 his parents' marriage was an annulled, resulting in his mother and younger brother moving from their Kingdom in France to England, while he stayed with his father as the sole heir to the throne. When Elijah was 10 his father told him that he has to live as a peasant and understand their ways in order to be able to rule them. King Magnus said that all of the past kings went through the same thing. So the King's guards blind folded Elijah and shipped him off to Persia. Months later, when the Sharaman visited the market square, he saw the young Elijah risking his life to save his childhood friend and fellow urchin, Bis, from the guards, he saw the "Spirit of a Noble King" inside him and so he decided to adopt him as a son, making him next in line to the throne so that the two other Princes would not fight for the crown. Years later, Elijah and his brothers, under the advisement of their uncle, Nizam, set out to the Persian borders near the sacred city of Alamut. It was said that Alamut has been selling weapons to the Persian enemies in "Koschkan". Elijah leads a strike force into the city to open the main gates, giving the Persian soldiers the victory. Shortly thereafter, Elijah encounters a man on horseback and defeats him, discovering the Dagger of Time in the process. Alamut's princess, Tamina, is captured and agrees to marry Tus in order to achieve peace after noticing the dagger in Elijah's possession. Their father, Sharaman, got angry with them, saying that their "adventure" would not sit well with their allies. Sharaman reproaches Tus for attacking the city and suggests that Elijah, instead of Tus, should marry Tamina. At the victory banquet, Elijah unknowingly presents a poisoned robe, given to him by Tus, to his father, who dies shortly after donning it. Elijah is blamed for the king's murder and flees Alamut with Tamina. Together they venture into the wilderness. In their first camp, Tamina attempts to kill the prince and recover the dagger. During their fight Elijah hits the dagger out of Tamina's hand, and when he grabs it from the sand, accidentally presses the jewel button on the hilt that activates its rewinding power. Elijah is transported back to just before Tamina tries to kill him. Shocked at what has just transpired, Elijah hesitates, allowing Tamina to slash him across the chest with his sword. Collapsing to the ground, Elijah pulls the dagger from his belt and activates it again, to Tamina's obvious horror. Again he is taken back to just before the princess tries to kill him. Elijah realizes that the dagger can turn back time, and that only the one who holds it is aware of this. After this the two continue on into the desert. During their journey, the duo meets a shady ostrich racing-organizer and tax-averse entrepreneur, Sheik Amar, and his knife-throwing friend, Seso. Elijah offers Tamina up as a slave in return for supplies; however, Amar betrays him because he recognizes him as the murderer of the king, for whom there is an "obscene" reward being offered. Elijah and Tamina escape and return to Persia for Sharaman's funeral. Elijah attempts to convince Nizam that he did not kill his father. Elijah discovers that Tamina has taken the Dagger; however, he then notices Nizam's hands are burned by the same poison put on the robe that killed his father. Nizam claims that his hands got burnt by his trying to pull the robe off his brother at the time, but Elijah does not remember Nizam ever touching it, realizing that Nizam must have been the one who poisoned the robe. Garsiv and the city guards appear and attack Elijah and he is forced to escape. Elijah catches up with Tamina and explains that Nizam was behind the murder. Once Tamina finally explains everything about the Dagger, Elijah realizes why Nizam wants the Dagger of Time: to use it with the massive Sandglass to go back in time and undo saving Sharaman from a lion so he could become king. He fabricated the false allegations that Alamut had been dealing weapons to Persia's enemies so that he would have the opportunity to search the city for the Sandglass. However, opening the Sandglass Elijah trigger an apocalyptic sandstorm that would end the world. Meanwhile, Nizam tries to convince Garsiv and Tus that Elijah is trying to overthrow them and should be killed immediately; when this fails, he hires the Hassansins to slay Elijah. Elijah and Tamina are again captured by Sheik Amar and Seso, seeking to rebuild his ruined business by turning them in for the enormous bounty. But that night, when everyone is asleep, the Hassansin leader, Zolm Many of the group die, but Elijah uses the Dagger and manages to kill all the snakes and save everyone. The next day, the pair, accompanied by Sheik and Seso, travels to a secret sanctuary in the mountains near India, where it's possible to seal away the Dagger. However, they run into Garsiv's men. Elijah manages to persuade his brother that he is innocent, only for Garsiv to be fatally wounded by a Hassansin. The Hassansins attack, killing most of the group, while Elijah and Tamina sneak away to the secret cave where they can hide the Dagger. Tamina says she is ready to give up her life to protect the Dagger, but Elijah stops her and tells her that he is not ready for her to die. They are found and attacked and Zolm manages to snatch the Dagger of Time from Tamina. However, Elijah is saved from the last Hassansin by Garsiv, who then dies of his wounds. The group returns to Alamut to reveal the truth about Nizam and the Dagger to Tus. They learn that the dagger is being guarded by Setam, the Hassansin who killed Garsiv. Seso volunteers for the task of defeating Setam and recovering the dagger. He defeats Setam in a duel but is himself mortally wounded. He manages to fling the dagger to Elijah before he succumbs to his wounds. Elijah confronts Tus and explains the dagger's mechanics to him and then stabs the dagger into his heart, killing himself; Tus brings Elijah back to life by rewinding time and realizes his brother has been innocent all along. Soon after, however, Nizam arrives and kills Tus, leaving his Hassansin guard, Ghazab, to kill Elijah. The Dagger is once again in Nizam's hands, but Elijah manages to defeat Ghazab with Tamina's help. Nizam goes to the Sandglass caves beneath Alamut, as Elijah and Tamina take a more secret route: an underground tunnel. After a short battle with Zolm, Tamina grabs one of Zolm's snakes and stabs its fangs into Zolm's eyes, fatally wounding him and sending him plummeting to his death in a chasm. Elijah and Tamina kiss for the first time. They then reach Nizam before he can pierce the Sandglass with the Dagger, but he knocks Tamina and Elijah over the edge. Elijah grabs hold of Tamina; knowing he cannot stop Nizam and also save her, Tamina tells Elijah to let her go because it is his destiny to save them, but Elijah refuses to let her go. Tamina professes her love for Elijah, wishing they could have been together, and lets go, plummeting to her death and sacrificing herself to stop Nizam. Heartbroken, Elijah watches her fall. Driven to fight on, Elijah manages to pull himself up. Nizam stabs the Sandglass with the Dagger, but Elijah grabs hold and opens the Dagger, rather than activating it, causing the Sands of Time to flow through freely, rather than destroying the world. Time reverses to when Elijah first obtained the Dagger, now fully aware of all that has occurred. Elijah stops the siege of Alamut, revealing Nizam's treachery; Nizam attacks Elijah, but is killed by Tus. After apologizing for the ransacking of her city, Tus suggests that perhaps Tamina and Elijah should wed as a sign of good Elijah. The Prince returns the Dagger of Time to her, which changes Tamina's view of Persians. Later on, the two take a walk together, Elijah and Tamina have a polite conversation, in which Elijah hints at his knowledge of the Dagger's powers and tells Tamina that he looks forward to a future with her. They were married for 4 years when there was an attempt on Tus' life and Tamina was killed in the confusion. Elijah was distraught and left the kingdom, deciding to roam the seven seas as a pirate. As a pirate Elijah took the pirate name of Sinbad and as Sinbad, he and his crew voyaged on many raids and adventures together, while trying to fill the void left by Tamina's death. On one such adventure Sinbad and his pirate crew attempt to steal the magical "Book of Peace" while it travels to Syracuse, Sicily, protected by Proteus. Proteus was once Sinbad's best friend as a child and he tells him if it ever meant anything he can prove it. Sinbad tries to steal the book anyway, but is prevented when Cetus attacks the ship. The two work together to fight off Cetus and for a moment reaffirm their bond. Just when it seems the beast is defeated, Sinbad is dragged off the ship. Proteus goes to save Sinbad, but he is stopped by his crew. Drawn underwater by Cetus, Sinbad is saved by Eris, the beautiful Goddess of Discord, who offers him any boon he desires in exchange for the Book of Peace. Sinbad and his crew go to Syracuse to steal the Book, but leave without doing so. Anticipating this, Eris impersonates Sinbad and steals the Book. Sinbad is sentenced to death, whereupon Proteus sends Sinbad to retrieve the Book instead, placing himself as hostage, and Proteus' fiancée Marina goes to make sure that Sinbad succeeds. To prevent them from succeeding, Eris sends a group of mythical sirens, who entrance and seduce the men aboard Sinbad's ship with their hypnotic singing voices, but do not affect Marina, who pilots the ship to safety. She later sends a Roc to capture Marina, but it is killed by Sinbad. After these and other incidents, Sinbad and Marina enter Eris' realm, where she reveals that her plan was to maneuver Proteus into Sinbad's place, leaving Syracuse without an heir, and agrees to surrender the Book of Peace only if Sinbad truthfully tells whether he Elijah return to Syracuse to accept blame and be executed. She gives him her word that she Elijah honor the deal making it unbreakable even for a god. When he answers that he Elijah, Eris calls him a liar, and returns him and Marina to the mortal world. Sinbad is ashamed and he admits Eris is right and that he truly believes deep down he is a selfish liar. In Syracuse, the time allotted to Sinbad has elapsed. Proteus readies himself to be beheaded, saddened by his friend's betrayal. At the last minute, however, Sinbad appears and takes his place. An enraged Eris appears suddenly and saves Sinbad by shattering the executioner's sword to pieces. Sinbad, shocked, realizes that this was still part of her test and that he has beaten her by proving his answer to be true after all. Eris is furious but cannot go back on her word and so reluctantly gives the Book to Sinbad before vanishing. With the Book restored to Syracuse, Sinbad and his crew leave Syracuse on another voyage, leaving Marina behind. Proteus sees that Marina has fallen deeply in love with Sinbad, so he releases her from their engagement and sends her to join Sinbad's ship, before sailing away. She and Sinbad sail away, presumably to have more adventures. Later, Marina would discover Sinbad's true origins as Prince Elijah of France, when King Mangus calls for Elijah to finally return to the kingdom. Elijah complies with Marina by his side and there he is reunited with his younger brother Joshua who has since become the King of England. King Magnus asked Elijah to take his place and join his brother to Spain in order to sign a peace treaty that would unite all of Europe. However, this was a mere set up staged by the Spanish who robbed them of their royal titles and tried to execute them. Elijah and Joshua barely managed to escape, resulting in the Emperor of Spain placing an embargo against all exporting ships, not wanting the foreign royals to escape Spain's soil. Using Elijah's experience as peasant, they manged to hid them selves from the Emperor's guards by blending in with the locals with Elijah and Joshua dying their hair blonde. A year later, Elijah finds out about a ship that Elijah be leaving Spain for the port of France. Excited Elijah prepares to inform Joshua, but before Elijah can get out the good news a drunken Joshua hastily informs Elijah that he had con a young lad into giving him money in exchange for magic beans to help the lads dying sister. An argument erupts between the two over the morals of Joshua's scam, resulting in Elijah deciding to leave for France on his own. When Elijah arrived, he went to see Marina and found that she had moved on, marrying someone else because she thought that he had died. Elijah then returned to Spain an emotional mess and he embraced his new life as a peasant and a con artist. Upon returning, a sober Joshua apologizes to Elijah for his actions and behavior before, to which Elijah accepts and remarks that he regrets the severity of his words to Joshua. The two then spend the next year living life as peasants in Spain until Joshua finds a another tip about a ship headed for France. Wanting to return to his Kingdom and family, Joshua convinces Elijah to help him escape. They stow away on a ship that they think is going to get them back to France, but instead get shipped to French-occupied Germany. They do not want to stay in Germany and they need money to board a ship to take them to their respective lands. At a local tavern they meet 2 men named Hidlick and Bunst in equally dire straits and together the four of them come up with a way to make money fast by scamming towns into believing that they are cursed, so that Elijah and Joshua can go there and demand a fee for vanquishing the foul demon that plagues there villages. Elijah and Joshua change their last names to Grimm and start to call themselves the brothers Grimm. After months of scams, They go to Karlstadt to rid the town of a witch's ghost. After killing the "ghost", it is revealed that the Brothers Grimm have actually set up a fake witch to trick the town. Afterward, as they are celebrating, Italian torturer Mercurio Cavaldi takes them to the French General Delatombe. Delatombe forces them to solve a mystery: The girls of the small village of Marbaden are disappearing, and the villagers are convinced that supernatural beings are responsible. The Grimms are charged with finding who is responsible, and they soon discover that it is the work of a real supernatural force: a beautiful, yet evil, 500-year-old Thuringian Queen stealing young girls to restore her own beauty. Elijah and Joshua have a complicated relationship; Joshua is the smaller, younger, more sensitive one that Elijah feels he needs to protect. Elijah is often very hard on Joshua (dating all the way back to their childhood and to when Joshua took the money a young boy gave him, that was to be used for medicine for the boy's dying sister, in exchange for "magic beans") and orders him around. Elijah is somewhat of a womanizer and wants to make money, whereas Joshua is more interested in fairy tales and adventures. Joshua feels that Elijah doesn't care about or believe in him; but Elijah is just frustrated about the way Joshua acts so spontaneously, making it hard for Elijah to protect him. Long ago, King Childeric I came to the forest to build a city while the Queen experimented with black magic to gain eternal life. A plague swept through the land, and she hid in her tower, while her husband and everyone below her perished. Her spell granted her immortal life, but not the youth and beauty to go along with it. Her youthful appearance now only exists in her mirror, the source of her life, as an illusion and nothing more. She needs to drink the blood of twelve young girls to regain her beauty; ten have already been reported missing. The Queen is working an enchantment to regain her beauty with the aid of her werewolf huntsman and his magic axe, crow familiars, and various creatures in the forest. The Grimms, with the help of Cavaldi and Angelika, a knowing huntress from the village, intend to destroy the Mirror Queen. After another girl goes missing, Cavaldi takes the Grimms and Angelika back to Delatombe. Because they have failed, Cavaldi is ordered to kill both the Grimms; but, after convincing Delatombe that the magic in the forest is actually caused by German rebels, he sends them back. While Cavaldi stays behind with Angelika in the village, the brothers attempt to get into the tower. Joshua succeeds and discovers the Queen and the power of her mirror. Meanwhile, another girl, named Sasha, is captured despite Angelika and Cavaldi's efforts to save her. Joshua rides into the forest alone after a spat with Elijah, who follows him. After mistaking a dummy that is smashed into the tower for Joshua, Elijah realizes that Joshua needs him to believe in him and assists Joshua in climbing up the tower. On the roof of the tower, Joshua notices twelve crypts in which the twelve victims must lie. When Sasha's body comes up from a well, the werewolf takes her to a tomb. After rescuing Sasha and taking the werewolf's magic axe, the Grimms return to the village. Delatombe captures the brothers and believes them to be frauds. French soldiers begin burning down the forest, and Cavaldi represses his sympathy to the brothers, but they are eventually saved by Angelika. The werewolf is revealed to be Angelika's father, who is under the Queen's spell. It turns out that he is only able to keep on living due to an enchanted spike that is lodged into his chest and, without such, the spell is broken. Angelika is drowned by her father, becoming the 12th victim. The Brothers reach the tower while the Queen breathes an ice wind that puts out the forest fire. Delatombe notices that the Grimms have escaped and goes after them with Cavaldi. When Cavaldi refuses to kill the Grimms, Delatombe shoots him but is later impaled by Elijah. Elijah and Joshua enter the tower, where Elijah falls under the Queen's spell when the Queen takes the enchanted spike from Angelika's father and thrusts it into Elijah's chest. Joshua shatters the enchanted mirror in the tower, preventing the Queen from completing the spell that Elijah restore her youth. With the last of his strength, Angelika's father destroys the rest of the mirror by jumping out of the window with it; and Elijah, attempting to save the Queen, tries to take back the mirror and falls with him, and both men are killed. Outside, Cavaldi survives, having donned the Grimm's faux-magic armor. He finds Elijah's body and recites an Italian curse, and the tower falls apart. Joshua escapes, and Cavaldi informs Joshua that he can break the spell and awaken Angelika with a kiss, which in turn resurrects the other girls and Elijah. With the menace gone and their daughters returned to them, the villagers of Marbaden celebrate and give their heart-felt thanks to the brothers. Cavaldi stays in the village and joins the villagers for the feast. Angelika kisses both the Grimms and tells them that they are always welcome at the village. The Brothers Grimm decide to pursue a new profession, presumably recording fairy tales, although they are now wanted criminals of the state. One of the Queen's crows is seen flying off with the last shard of her mirror, still holding the Queen's watchful eye and presumably, her living soul. They are not able to pursue a new profession however, as the Emperor of Spain found out about the brother's publicized scams and discovered who they really were. The Emperor sends his royal guards to capture them and bring them back to Spain for a public execution. Once back in Spain, Elijah and Joshua escape yet again and go back into hiding with Elijah's growing out his hair and reverting it back to it's original color, while Joshua grows out his hair shoulder length. The two soon return to their con artist ways and a year later,  win a map to the legendary City of Gold, El Dorado, in a rigged gambling match. After their con is discovered, the two evade capture while being chased by a bull and hide in barrels, which are shortly loaded onto one of the ships to be led by Hernán Cortés to the New World. During the trip, they are caught as stowaways and imprisoned, but manage to break free and take a rowboat with the help of Cortés' horse, Altivo. They land at an unknown shore at the edge of Mexico, and Joshua begins to recognize landmarks as stated on the map, which shows directions to El Dorado. The map leads them to a totem marker outside of a waterfall where a young woman approaches them, chased by a number of guards. The guards see the image of Elijah and Joshua riding Altivo as the same on the totem, and believing them to be gods, escort them and the woman under the falls and into El Dorado, truly a city made of gold. Elijah and Joshua are brought to the city's elders, the kind-hearted Chief Tannabok and wicked high priest Tzekel-Kan. While Tannabok warmly welcomes them to the city, Tzekel-Kan mainly sees them as a way to enhance his own standing. Tzekel-Kan also believes that with the arrival of the gods comes "The Year of the Jaguar", a year in which the city will be purged of all wicked people. Elijah and Joshua begin to argue on what to do. Everyone is convinced they are gods when as a volcano is beginning to erupt, Elijah yells at Joshua to stop pestering him, and the volcano suddenly stops. After celebrations offered by both Tannabok and Tzekel-Kan, the two are taken to private quarters along with the woman they met earlier, Chel, who has seen through their ploy but offers to help maintain it as long as they give her a share of the gold and take her with them when they leave. Elijah tells Tannabok the next day that they are only here for a visit, but will need a boat to leave the city with the gifts the city has showered upon them. Tannabok says it will take them at least three days to construct a vessel to carry both them and the gifts given to them by the people of El Dorado. Chel encourages Joshua to continue to explore the city while she tries to get close to Elijah. Joshua begins to bond with the people and falls in love with the city. When Tzekel-Kan sees Joshua playing a ball game with children, he demands that the gods play against Chief Tannabok's warriors, the city's best players. During the match, Elijah and Joshua are clearly over-matched, but Chel replaces the ball with an armadillo named Bibo, allowing the two to cheat and win the game. However, when Tzekel-Kan offers to have the defeated players sacrificed, Joshua declares there is no need for sacrifices or him. As he is leaving, Tzekel-Kan sees a small cut on Joshua's forehead and realizes he is not a god because gods do not bleed. Tzekel-Kan conjures a giant stone jaguar to chase them through the city. Elijah and Joshua manage to outwit the stone jaguar, causing both it and Tzekel-Kan to fall into a giant whirlpool, thought to be the entrance to Xibalba, the spirit world. Tzekel-Kan comes to outside El Dorado, where Cortés and his men are searching for gold. Thinking Cortés is a true god, Tzekel-Kan quickly offers to lead them to El Dorado. With their boat completed and loaded with gold, Elijah is ready to leave but Joshua announces that he will be staying because he finds the city peaceful. As Elijah and Chel start to leave, they spot smoke on the horizon, realizing that Cortés and his men are approaching the city with the help from Tzekel-Kan. To protect the city from the Spanish troops, Elijah determines they can use the boat to slam against rock formations under the waterfall path that will cave in and block access to the city. The city residents pull down a large statue to create a wave to propel the boat, but Elijah cannot get the sails up to give the boat enough speed to avoid the statue. Joshua forgoes his chance to stay in the city and jumps into the boat with Altivo to finish hoisting the sails. The boat clears the statue in time, and Elijah's plan is successful; though the boat and the gold are lost, the entrance to El Dorado is sealed for good. Elijah, Joshua, Chel and Altivo hide as Tzekel-Kan brings Cortés and his men towards the waterfall. Once Tzekel-Kan finds out that the entrance has been blocked, an angry Cortés takes this as a lie. Cortés and his men then march away with a humiliated Tzekel-Kan in their hands. Elijah and Joshua, though disappointed they lost their treasure, takes off in a different direction for a new adventure with Chel, unaware that Altivo still wears the golden horseshoes he was outfitted with in the city. When they get off to sea they sail for England and once there Elijah and Joshua bid farewell to one another and Elijah and Chel get a fortune off of the golden horseshoes, becoming rich. They live on the high life for a year until a pregnant Chel gets very sick because of her week immune system and she along with Elijah's unborn child die. Elijah becomes an explorer to try and heal his pain, and spends the next 5 years as an explorer becoming a legend in England. He is well known for his exploits as an explorer, not to mention his success at fighting Savages.  He initially assumes that the voyage to the New World will be the same as the other voyages he has taken. Elijah is shown to have some prejudiced views regarding Native Americans, as he believes them to be savages. Despite these views, he is regarded for his courage and heroism. The Virginia Company finances a voyage to the New World, so that settlers may found a colony in the new world. Due to his extraordinary reputation in dealing with natives, Elijah Smith is chosen to be the captain. Governor Ratcliffe, who is to be the leader of the new colony, notes that he is depending on Elijah to deal with the natives so that there are no disruptions. During the voyage, one young man, named Thomas, falls overboard. In response, Elijah, with some assistance from Ben and Lon, mounts a risky but successful rescue mission, earning him Ratcliffe's praise. Thomas tells Elijah his plans for the New World, but Elijah notes that he has seen hundreds of new worlds, and that there could be little that would be different about this one. When they reach the new world, work begins on a colony, which is named Jamestown, Virginia. Upon landing, Elijah is sent out with a crew so that they can tie the ship off. While there, Elijah meets Meeko, but is prevented from seeing a hidden Pocahontas by Flit. Ratcliffe then tasks Elijah with exploring the surrounding area, to scout for natives. While exploring, Elijah is impressed by the land, deeming it wild and challenging. Meanwhile, he is secretly being followed by Pocahontas. Elijah stops to wash his face at a river, but notices a reflection. Hiding behind a rock, he readies his gun, but when he jumps upon the person, he discovers a beautiful woman. He puts down his gun, and tries to introduce himself at first, just before the woman runs from him, and he quickly follows her. Elijah tries to explain that he won't hurt her, but she doesn't understand him at first. However, he tries telling her it was alright. She takes his hand and sees he's not a threat to her and they take a moment to notice each other. When he asks her name, she tells him that her name is Pocahontas. The two talk for some time, telling each other their different names for things. Elijah unintentionally insults her, though, by talking about how his people have improved the lives of savages everywhere, with things like decent roads and houses. He tries to apologize, and Pocahontas responds by showing him the beauty of nature. However, their time together is cut short when Pocahontas hears the sound of drums and runs off. A few days later, Elijah sneaks away from camp to find Pocahontas. During their talk, Elijah tells Pocahontas about the reason the settlers are there: to look for gold. Pocahontas has never heard of Gold, and after hearing a description, holds up an ear of corn. Elijah corrects her by showing her a gold piece, which Pocahontas has never seen. Elijah remarks that they came a long way for nothing, and notes that some of the settlers might leave, but that the rest would have to carry out the settlement. Pocahontas asks of he would leave, but Elijah notes he has nothing to go back to in England, as he has never belonged anywhere. Pocahontas chooses to introduce Elijah to Grandmother Willow. The experience shocks him at first, but he grows to like her, especially after she compliments his looks. They are interrupted by Ben and Lon, who have come looking for Elijah. Elijah and Pocahontas hide, and Grandmother Willow spooks the two men away. Elijah decides to go back before they send more people looking for him, but first agrees to meet Pocahontas that night at Grandmother Willow's glade. When Elijah returns to camp, he is nearly shot at by Thomas. Elijah coaches Thomas on how to aim properly, and is then questioned by Ratcliffe as to where he had been. Elijah uses the excuse that he was scouting. Ratcliffe approves, as the information will be useful for the upcoming battle. Elijah learns that Ratcliffe plans to attack the Indians, in order to get the gold Ratcliffe believes them to be hiding. Elijah protests, much to the surprise of Ratcliffe and the settlers. Elijah relates what he has learned from Pocahontas, though he doesn't reveal her identity, saying only that he met an Indian. Elijah notes the advantages of working with the natives, and also says that there is no gold. The settlers begin to wonder about the lack of gold, but Ratcliffe dismisses the tale as lies. Ratcliffe then proclaims that anyone who looks at an Indian without shooting will be tried for treason and lynched. Despite Ratcliffe's ruling, Elijah sneaks out of camp that night. However, he is unknowingly spotted by Thomas. Ratcliffe orders Thomas to follow Elijah, as well as to shoot any Indians he sees. Meanwhile, Elijah meets with Pocahontas, and tells her of the impending attack. Pocahontas reveals that her people are also preparing for war, and that if they are to stop this, Elijah must come talk to her father, Chief Powhatan. Elijah initially refuses, citing the matter to be impossible, but eventually acquiesces, after Grandmother Willow compares the situation to ripples, which must be started by someone. Elijah and Pocahontas impulsively share a kiss, which is witnessed by both Thomas and Kocoum, who had followed Pocahontas. Kocoum attacks Elijah in a rage and tries to murder him, and Thomas intervenes kills Kocoum to save Elijah. Kocoum's death makes Pocahontas angry, and Elijah orders Thomas to leave. As soon as he does, warriors from Pocahontas's tribe appear, and capture Elijah, believing him to have killed Kocoum. Meanwhile, Thomas reports Elijah's capture. A plan is set up to rescue him, though Ratcliffe intends to take advantage of the situation and kill the Indians to get the gold he believes they have. At the village, Powhatan sentences Elijah to death at sunrise, as the first casualty in the upcoming war. That night, Pocahontas comes and apologizes for getting him in trouble. Elijah refuses to accept, stating that he was a better person for having met her, and that he would be with her forever. Pocahontas leaves, and soon Elijah is forcefully taken to a cliff, near where the battle is to take place. Just then the English settlers arrive for the battle, Powhatan prepares to execute Elijah. Before he can do so, Pocahontas intervenes, throwing her body over Elijah's, with a proclamation that Powhatan will have to kill her along with Elijah. Pocahontas proclaims her love for Elijah, and rebukes everyone for following the path of hatred and discrimination. Powhatan, seeing the truth, chooses to release Elijah, and calls off his warriors. The settlers are content to let the fight go, as Elijah has been released. Ratcliffe tries to shoot Powhatan, but Elijah takes the shot saving his life. Elijah initially survives, but is forced to return to England for medical treatment, otherwise he would die. Pocahontas arrives, bringing food, and says goodbye to Elijah. Elijah invites her to come with him, but Pocahontas initially refuses, stating that she's needed with her tribe. Elijah wants to stay, but Pocahontas tells he has to go, because she would be with him forever no matter what. Powhatan comes, and thanks Elijah for saving his life earlier, stating that he is always welcome among their people. Elijah is soon loaded onto the ship, and he is able to wave goodbye to Pocahontas as the ship sails out to sea. Many of his views about the natives have changed. The encounter with Pocahontas and getting to know her and so much she teaches him changes his opinions, and he comes to believe that the natives can help his people. However, months later, Elijah, still in England and having recovered from his injury, is attacked by guards, who attempt to arrest him for treason in Jamestown. Ratcliffe arrives, revealing that he has framed Elijah, and attacks Elijah. Elijah is forced onto the roof of a house, and falls off into the river below. He is presumed dead by Ratcliffe, who informs the king. Soon, word reaches Pocahontas in Virginia and she chooses to move on with her life. Later, a hooded figure overhears a sailor talk about the upcoming execution of Pocahontas. Pocahontas had been sent to England as an emissary for her tribe, but had offended the king after witnessing a bear-baiting. The man is shown to be disturbed and he rides off. The man meets with Joshua Rolfe, and together they plan to free Pocahontas. The plan is pulled off, and in the safety of a secluded cabin, the mysterious man reveals himself to be Elijah Smith. Elijah had disguised himself to avoid being arrested for treason. Elijah Smith obviously wants to resume his romantic relationship with Pocahontas. But all Pocahontas can think of is the threatened attack on her tribe. Smith, knowing that her people need to live, wants her to stay hidden to prevent her from being hanged, but Rolfe wants Pocahontas to listen to her heart. The two men start to argue. Upset by her friends' fighting, Pocahontas runs off. Then Smith realizes Rolfe also is smitten with Pocahontas. The group decides to confront the king. Pocahontas is able to convince the queen to halt the attack, but the king is a friend of Ratcliffe's. Elijah chooses to reveal himself, which proves Ratcliffe to be a liar. The king now agrees to stop the attack, but learns that the Armada has set sail. Smith, Rolfe, and Pocahontas race to stop the armada. Elijah engages in battle with Ratcliffe, which results in the governor being thrown overboard. The next day, Elijah reveals that he has been awarded his own ship, and invites Pocahontas to travel the world with him. Pocahontas refuses, citing that they now have their own paths to follow. When Elijah realizes this, he decides to let her go, but wishes her happiness in the future, and she wishes him the same. Elijah then sails back to France and asks his estranged father if he could be the captain of his military, to which his father accepts, sighting no better title for the returning Prince of France. Years later, Elijah is called home to Paris from the War of the First Coalition in order to assist Judge Claude Frollo, the Minister of Justice and de facto ruler of Paris. Elijah is then made to serve as Frollo's Captain of the Guard. Following his arrival in Paris, he comes across a beautiful dancing gypsy girl, Esmeralda, and is taken with her, throwing her some gold coins. However, two thugs working for Frollo attempt to arrest Esmeralda solely for being a gypsy. Elijah helps Esmeralda escape by blocking the thugs' way with his horse, Achilles, and revealing his identity to them, prompting them to leave Esmeralda alone and take him to the Palace of Justice. Once there, he meets and takes an apparent dislike to Frollo after hearing how his predecessor is being treated for being "a bit of a disappointment" to the Judge; Frollo is quite sure that Pheobus will "whip [his] men into shape." As he is lead into an outside balcony of the Palace, Elijah is visibly surprised when he learns that he was summoned from the war to capture "fortune tellers and palm readers." Nevertheless, Elijah accompanies Frollo to the Festival of Fools. At the Festival, when the crowd turns on Quasimodo and begins torturing him thanks to a riot started by the thugs, Elijah requests permission to stop it, but Frollo tells him to wait a minute, and when Esmeralda publicly ridicules Frollo for his cruelty and evades his thugs, Elijah is visibly impressed. Elijah spots Esmeralda sneaking into Notre Dame in her old man disguise and follows her inside. A brief skirmish ensues until Elijah makes it clear that he has no intention of arresting her inside the cathedral. The two are visibly drawn to each other at this point, and just when they are apparently about to kiss, Frollo and his thugs appear. Elijah claims sanctuary for Esmeralda, and the Archdeacon arrives and orders Frollo out, and also makes Elijah leave. However, he sneaks back inside and searches for Esmeralda, but runs into Quasimodo, who dislikes Frollo's thugs greatly and tries to frighten Elijah away until Elijah takes a moment to ask Quasimodo to apologize to Esmeralda for accidentally trapping her inside Notre Dame, and notes how lucky Esmeralda is to have a friend like him. Unfortunately, when Quasimodo helps Esmeralda escape, Elijah is forced to join Frollo on a ruthless manhunt for the gypsy. Elijah becomes increasingly irritated with Frollo's unjust behavior, and finally rebels against him when he orders him to burn down the house of a miller, even though the miller and his wife and children are innocent of any crime. Elijah is branded a traitor and ordered killed, but thanks to a distraction by Esmeralda, Elijah almost escapes on Frollo's horse but is shot in the back by Frollo's thugs and jumps into the river to escape. He is rescued by Esmeralda, who takes him to Quasimodo for help. Elijah and Esmeralda finally admit their feelings for each other and share a kiss, but Elijah loses consciousness as Frollo returns, and is hidden by Quasimodo underneath a table. Frollo tells Quasimodo of his plan to attack the gypsy hideout (The Court of Miracles) with his thug army, and once he leaves, Elijah wakes up and implores Quasimodo to join him in finding the court and warning the gypsies. Inside the court, they are found and almost hanged by the gypsies, until Esmeralda appears and clears them. However, Frollo arrives and has them all arrested, and at one point, expresses surprise at Elijah's supposed return from the dead, but promises to "remedy" it before long. At Esmeralda's execution, Quasimodo breaks free from the cathedral and rescues her, giving Elijah enough time to escape from his cage, free himself and rally the citizens and gypsies to fight against Frollo's tyranny. Elijah holds his own rather well during the fight, even pushing three thugs back at once with a spear. During the climactic battle between Frollo and Quasimodo, Elijah is nowhere to be found. However, when Esmeralda loses her grip on a dangling Quasimodo, Elijah catches him. This caused Quasimodo to accept Elijah as his friend and his relationship with Esmeralda. Several years later, Elijah has married Esmeralda and had a son, Zephyr, with her. Once again, he is the Captain of the Guard under the new Minister of Justice. When Sarousch and his circus troupe arrive in Paris, people begin reporting thefts to Elijah. Eventually, Elijah discovers the connection between the thefts and Sarousch, and realises that he and his gang are thieves dressed as circus performers, but this revelation causes a brief rift between himself, Quasimodo (who is in love with Sarousch's assistant, Madellaine), Esmeralda (who believes Elijah carries a prejudice towards gypsies) and Zephyr (who admires the circus). To Quasimodo's chagrin, Elijah arrests Madellaine when she inadvertently aids Sarousch in stealing Notre Dame's most valuable bell, La Fidèle, from the cathedral by keeping Quasimodo at bay. However, Madellaine's true feelings for Quasimodo win over and she reveals to Elijah how Sarousch will get La Fidèle out of Paris, via underground. Unfortunately, Sarousch takes Zephyr hostage and uses him as leverage to keep Elijah at bay, but Zephyr is rescued by Quasimodo and Madellaine, and Elijah orders Sarousch arrested. Following this, Elijah's relationship with his friends and family is mended, and in return for her help, he sets Madellaine free. He and Esmeralda also proclaim their love for each other at the Festival and then watch happily as Quasimodo and Madellaine proclaim their love for each other. Soon Elijah got word that his father had died and he was now King of France. He along with his family moved into the luxurious castle in and had everything they. As a result Elijah became a selfish and spoiled human, cheating on his wife regularly. When Esmeralda found out she left the castle and took Zephyr. Elijah and Esmeralda's marriage was annulled soon after. One night on Christmas Eve, his kindness was put to the test when a beggar woman came to the castle and pleaded for shelter from the freezing cold and rain, with a single rose as payment. Repulsed by her appearance, he sneered at the simple but beautiful gift. The woman warns the King not to be fooled by appearances, for beauty is found within. When the King shuns the beggar woman for her repulsive appearance again, her ugliness melts away and then reveals her true form as a beautiful and powerful Enchantress. Seeing her beauty and realizing her power, the King tries to apologize. But it is too late, for she has seen in her disguise that there was no love in his heart. As punishment for his cold heart, she turns him into a terrifying beast. She also casts a ghastly curse on the entire castle, transforming it into a dark, foreboding place, its lush green grounds into dark, misty, wolf-infested woods, and the good-natured servants into anthropomorphic household objects to reflect their different personalities. Ashamed of his new appearance, the Beast conceals himself inside his castle with a magic mirror as his only window to the outside world. The rose the Enchantress had given him was enchanted and it would bloom for two years. She had told him that if he could learn to love another and earn her love in return by the time the last petal fell, then the spell would be broken, but if he failed, he would remain a beast forever. After hearing the heart breaking stipulation, he scratches a portrait of his human self in anger and shame. 2 years later, the Beast discovers a man named Maurice inside the castle and accuses him of trespassing (not knowing or caring that Maurice was actually allowed inside by the servants for shelter, despite the servants trying to vouch for him). Maurice's staring at the Beast only provokes the Beast's fury, and he proceeds to "give [Maurice] a place to stay" by locking Maurice in the tower as a prisoner.  A day later, Maurice's daughter, Belle, confronts the Beast and pleads with him to let her father go, offering herself as a prisoner instead. The Beast, astonished by Belle's offer, ultimately accepts, under the further condition that she remains in the castle forever, as well as heeding her request to step into the light to reveal himself to her, horrifying Belle once she sees his monstrous form. He then brashly throws Maurice into an enchanted coach to take him back to the village he came from without letting Belle say goodbye to her father first. The Beast eventually decided to give her an actual room other than the dungeon cell (both at Lumiere's suggestion and due to feeling some guilt at Belle's sadness from his prior actions). He further warns Belle not to go into his chamber, the West Wing, although he gave her expressed permission to visit the other areas of the castle. He then "invites" her to dinner, although it was closer to a command than an actual request. He later waited for Belle to join him for dinner, although because of her residual anger towards the Beast for his earlier actions and grief towards her father being released before she said goodbye, Belle did not join him, citing as an excuse that she wasn't hungry, incensing him and later causing him to despair upon overhearing Belle's negative comments about him with the Wardrobe and her implication that she would never fall in love or have anything to do with him. Although he had specifically forbidden her from visiting the West Wing, she does later on out of curiosity, much to the Beast's fury, especially when his enchanted rose was nearly destroyed by Belle in her curiosity. His rage caused him to destroy much of his chambers while screaming at Belle to get out, although after he calmed down, he realized that he had inadvertently ruined his chances by scaring Belle into fleeing the castle and pursued her, saving her from a pack of wolves and getting injured in the process. Upon being returned to the castle, he and Belle entered a brief argument about who was at fault, with Belle effectively winning the argument. The Beast later comes to appreciate Belle when she tends to his wounds after he saves her from the wolves, and strikes up a friendship with her. At Lumiere's suggestion, he then gave her his library. She then in return teaches him to become more civilized. Eventually, he falls in love with her, and placing her happiness before his own, he releases her to tend to her sick father (and to make up for his earlier harsh treatment of him). A lynch mob comes to kill the Beast, led by a rival suitor named Gaston (with Belle, albeit unintentionally, instigating the mob by exposing his existence to save Maurice from the paddy wagon). Gaston eventually finds Beast, and initially, Beast has no will to fight, still in a state of depression from Belle leaving. Just as Gaston is about to lay the finishing blow, Belle returns, calling for Gaston to stop. Upon hearing Belle's voice, he suddenly stands and fights back with a renewed vigor in knowledge that Belle truly does love him. As the fight continued, Gaston continued to blather about his superficial beliefs that he is Belle's true love, and the Beast is nothing more than a monster whom Belle would never love. Having had it with Gaston's mocking and arrogance, the Beast overpowers him and holds him by the throat over the edge of the castle. Gaston finally drops his pride and begs for mercy, to which the Beast initially ignores, but upon realizing that he was turning into everything that represents Gaston himself, instead allows him to walk away, warning him to leave the castle and never return. Reuniting with Belle, he happily embraces her, but is literally stabbed in the back by Gaston, who then loses his balance and falls off the castle to his death. Belle comes to tend to the Beast's wounds and tries to reassure him that everything's going to be fine, but he knows all too well that his time is coming, telling her that he was happy to have a chance at seeing her one last time before succumbing to his wounds. Upon losing him, Belle begs him not to go and cries, admitting that she loves him. Just after the last petal falls from the enchanted rose, shining beams of light falls onto the Beast. The Beast's body floats in the air and becomes enshrouded by fog as he begins to transform: his fore-paws, hind-paws, and furry head respectively turn back into hands, feet, and a head of the King, in other words, he is returned to normal. He then gets up, looks at himself, and turns to Belle, who initially looks at him skeptically before recognizing him by his blue eyes. Elijah and Belle share their first kiss, a kiss of true love, that further breaks additional spells placed on the castle and its inhabitants: the castle is restored to its original, shining state, and all the Prince's servants, including Lumiere, Cogsworth, Chip, and Mrs. Potts, are transformed back into humans. The next day, a ball is held to celebrate their victory. He later asks Esmeralda for forgiveness for being so stupid and she forgiveness him and he reunites with his son Zephyr. He also meets Esmeralda's new husband and he introduces Belle to Esmeralda. He later marries Belle and they have 3 children: 2 girls and 1 boy, and they live happily ever after.
