**Elons Retele**, professionally known as **Strife**, known to the Pit Fiends as"**Saint** **Retele**", is a **Dark Elf** Gladiator Pit Slave living in **Hellas** during the period of recovery post-**Spellplague**. During his years he has worked with numerous races and visited a handful of different dimensions on his journeys as a mercenary. Sometime ago Elons was on a job in the **Deep Caverns** of Hellas guarding an expeditionary force who sought the regions precious resources.

After the job went belly up and nearly losing his life, Elons found himself enslaved to the Pit Lords of **Babylon**. Here in the city of *Babylon*, weeks turned to months, and months turned to years, finding himself unable to leave due to the tight security of the Hellish conclave. Fancying himself as a charismatic leader, Elons takes great pride in having boosting morale for the slaves living in the **Gladiator Pits of Babylon** through means of organizing gambling rings, hosting betting events on high profile participants, and has been known in the past been willing to sponsor and support other gladiators for a shot at the Champion title.

## Appearance

**Elons Retele** is an alluring, heavily muscled Drow male with dark obsidian skin. His handsome features were sharp and well proportioned, he possessed gray hair that was shaved close to his head so that it might not get grabbed during a deatmatch, coupled with piercing white eyes that emitted a bright glow in the dark. To those unfamiliar with other species, many might mistake Elons for a Darkbane Variant or some form of demonkind due to his elongated canines.

There is a very standout tattoo running along the entirety of his body, it resembles a tribal serpent of sorts, encompassing large portions of Elons' face, arms, and chest region. He also notably has two obsidian hoop earrings on his left ear, and a single gold hoop earring on his right.

Elons prefers to be shirtless when not on a job, wearing his armored pants with the rest of his armor hanging loose like a kama. An heirloom from his past, its foreign craftsmanship serving him well after leaving his homeland, though well worn by his time in the Pits. The chitin plating is located on his waistline, thighs, and shin regions.

His wrists are wrapped with bloodied linen wrappings, not necessarily for armor, but to staunch the bleeding after he utilizes his blood magic.

## Personality

Elons personality can be described as possessing a sarcastic, black sense of humor, viewing the world in shades of gray. Though not truly heartless or unsympathetic towards others, he possesses the capacity to be cruel to prove a point. He values most in others what he cannot find in himself, a lightness of spirit, joyful and beautiful. If one can make Strife smile and laugh, then they have found a friend in him. This Drow is willing to work with others if they too would do the same.

His combat style centers around feats of speed and agility, and because of this refuses to utilize shields or heavy armor in combat, instead relying on his dual pistols and numerous knife sets.

## Equipment

***Dragon Glass:*** Compact, thinly curved obsidian glass shortsword wrapped in a light, boiled green leather around its grip for better ergonomics, his primary melee weapon.

## Powers

*Strife possesses the innate power of absorbing, controlling and redirecting smoke, fire, and embers.*
