## Background

### Childhood

Born to Kaliariam Eranon and a unknown sire in Pheodai, Elessar was raised by his single mother for all of his childhood. He was known for having exemplary grades during his school years. Elessar also had a charismatic personality to match, which made him very popular among his peers and a leader in his friend groups. He decided from an early age that he wanted to join the High Council of Pheodai due to their reputation of being the highest ranking power of the city. He entered university with this goal in mind, choosing a concentration in Politics. By the time he graduated, he had already secured a position on the High Council with ease.

### Early Career

Elessar's immediate success with joining the High Council made him even more popular among his peers and subordinates. He quickly found himself surrounded by admirers which did nothing but inflate his ego further. At one point, he decided to travel to the city of Reolon for work, wanting to familiarize himself with the other cities that he would be in contact with. During this 6 month trip, he would end up having a romantic entanglement with a female Elisian before returning to Pheodai and continuing his work. Unbeknownst to Elessar, this affair lead to the birth of a child, Azuliam Eranon.

### The Culling: Half-Breed Genocide

After 15 years on the High Council on year XXXX, Elessar's influence greatly affected a vote against half-breeds and started the genocide now referred to as "The Culling". Half-breed Elisians would be gathered together and killed en masse, children would be taken from their families, and the group would be pushed into the slums of the city. This would wipe out about 55% of the half-breed populace residing in Pheodai. This action would create a never-ending bitter rivalry between Elessar and Alen Hawking.

### Post-Genocide

A few months after The Culling had been actioned, one of Elessar's associates heard a rumor that he had an illegitimate child. After confirming that the rumor was true, Elessar returned to Reolon and paid off the mother for custody of their child, Azuliam Eranon, who was around 16 at the time.

The two lived in the city of Pheodai together, as a father and daughter duo. Elessar was a good father to Azuliam during this time, often doting on her and gifting her expensive items. One day after Azuliam had reached adulthood, she decided to look through Elessar's personal belongings to learn more about the man she called her father. She rifled through some papers in his study and learned of "The Culling" through his documentation. After learning that her father was a major catalyst for the genocide that took place, she ran away from home. Elessar arrived home that day ignorant of that fact, and noticed immediately that she was missing. He called for his subordinates to find her, to which they did within a day. Azuliam was taken back home and after learning the reason why she had fled, Elessar had her legs broken so that she could no longer leave. Once her legs eventually healed, she once again ran away from home. Due to more careful planning, her escape from him was successful and she has not been seen since. Elessar has kept his search up for her even after many years, with his subordinates on call. He has become rather complacent in his search though, seeing as she is not a priority for him.

One day, a woman is brought forth to the High Council from Hyra. She was a trafficking victim who had escaped captivity. She also is the daughter of his biggest rival, Alen. Elessar immediately found himself taken with her due to her candid personality and dark humor, both traits that he appreciated. He would force himself to go to Council events and parties in order to try and court her, even going so far as to manipulate her by using her traumatic experience. With each attempt, Shayla would coolly reject his advances, as she did not feel prepared to enter a relationship so soon after her time in Hyra. With each rejection, Elessar would smile and accept her hesitation, seething inside that she would dare decline his hand. After some time, he stopped attending the functions to give her the indication that he would not pursue her further.

To his abhorrence and complete disgust, a year later he would learn that Shayla had not only gotten married to an insignificant off-worlder but that she also was bearing his half-breed child. She also chose to give the child the last name of the father instead of her own, something unheard of in Elisian culture. Unable to cope with the fact that she had chosen a nobody who would dirty her pure Elisian bloodline over himself, he decided to teach her a lesson. After the child was born, Elessar ordered his subordinates to kidnap him and to make it look as if their home was robbed. When Shayla returned to her home and saw it ransacked, she suspected Elessar immediately due to his inability to hide his revulsion. She charged into the Council building, demanding to see him. Elessar then proceeded to gaslight her, avoiding her questions and demeaning her. In anger, Shayla made a threat on his life to which Elessar did not tolerate, having her thrown out of the building. The child is still missing to this day, and Elessar has not seen Shayla since.
