After the fall of the Atlanta Federation, Streicher becomes a member of the Alvitr Central Security, and team leader of the Special Operations team, Night Stalkers. Streicher and his Special Operations Team are responsible for the deaths of dozens of Orion Nero Initiative soldiers and special operators.

## Biography

### Central Security Captain

Elias Streicher is introduced as a Captain and member of the Katona Police Brigade in 2061. During the Atlanta Federation, he serves as the team leader for Alpha Team and leads the team in a number of operations in Enderossi.

Elias is introduced during the operation on an apartment complex in downtown Enderossi where the team finds information regarding the 2054 Incident. A second operation on an apartment building in Halusii results in Elias and the team finding more information that connects the two terrorist cells operating in each apartment, and after connecting the dots, realises that the 2054 Incident was no accident.

### 2054 Incident

7 years ago, Elias held the rank of Senior Officer and part of the Gilstein Palace Guard which was attacked by a number of mercenaries who wished to execute the Alvitr Kingdom royal family. The Gilstein Palace Guard was outnumbered and Elias among several others were the only members of the Central Security to have escaped.

### Fall of the Federation

At the time of Elias and his team figuring out the truth behind the 2054 incident, Eric Saunders puts the rebellion against the Federation into full swing, resulting in Atlanta Federal Police showing up at every Central Security precinct to execute all Central Security officers who were not loyal to Saunders. Caught in the crossfire, Elias and the surviving members of his team manage to escape and flee to Ramstein Air Base to evacuate as the entire country falls under Saunders' influence.

At Ramstein Air Base, Elias and his team are in charge of getting the civilians onboard the C-30 Valkyrie Transport Shuttles to evacuate the planet from the AFP attackers. When a destroyed AE-57G Growler crashes into the Air Bases command centre with Colonel Harry Munson still inside, Elias and Zaric rush to the collapsed building to try and save Munson's life. The pair manage to rescue Munson and one other officer from the building, but as they run to the transport shuttles, the group of four are gunned down and Elias is the first to drop. Lying on the ground, Zairc tries to held Elias but is ultimately killed in action. The rest of Alpha Team rescue Munson and escape, leaving Elias behind as they assumed he died as well. It is later confirmed that Elias did not die at Ramstein Air Base, and became a member of the Alvitr Central Security Special Operations Unit, Night Stalkers.
