## History

### Early Life

Elias and Holly Troy were born to Helen of Troy, Queen of Sparta and Menelaus, King of Sparta, only a few weeks after the fall of Troy in Sparta, Greece. When their parents were reunited with each other, they ended up in bed with one another and Helen ended up pregnant. At first, the couple were only expecting to have one child, but were surprised when they had twins; a boy and a girl. The boy was named Elias, while the girl was named Holly.

### Childhood

Elias and his sister were raised as most royals. They were respected as the Prince and Princess of Sparta, but were also generally good hearted people. Like most siblings, they bantered with each other, but where also very close to each other. Holly and Elias often trained along side some of the guards, and both became very skilled fighters, though their mother disapproved of them (mainly Holly) fighting with such dangerous weapons at a young age (say 12 or 13). When Holly was around fourteen years old, she found a lover in a man by the name of Andres, the son of one of the guards. Helen and Menelaus both liked Andres and saw him as a fit partner for Holly, but Elias was wary of Andres, being very protective of his twin sister.

### Secrets

What Elias didn't know, was that whenever Holly was alone with Andres, he was very abusive. He would abusive Holly verbally, physically, and sexually. Normally, Holly could at least put ups some sort of fight, but Andres was more powerful. On multiple occasions, Andres had forced himself onto Holly, which would result in the cost her health and she was forced to have multiple abortions. But she did attempt to give birth one, but it was unsuccessful as Andres intercepted and the baby was born dead (the only reason her parents never found out about Holly's pregnancies was because Andres was skilled with magic and used an illusion to make Holly appear not pregnant). Elias soon found about what Andres was doing to Holly, but his sister begged him not to tell their parents, fearing what would happen to both her and Andres. Elias reluctantly agreed to keep quite. One day, a few days after their sixteenth birthday, Elias caught Andres abusing his sister and in a moment of protection and rage, Elias pulled out a sword and killed Andres. Once realizing what he did, both he and Holly hid the body, by throwing it into the ocean... The twins agreed never to tell their parents of what happened, coming up with a lie that Andres had killed himself

### Meeting the Hunters and getting to camp

When he and Holly were seventeen, Holly prayed to the goddess Artemis to join her hunt. Holly was afraid of what kind of abuse she would have to endure if she ever became queen and was married. Artemis answered Holly's and her a huntress of Artemis. Holly also requested that Elias be made immortal as well, as he had been nothing but kind and loving to his siter. Artemis, seeing how much the sibling loved each other, gave into Holly's wishes and Elias was also made immortal. The twins, for the first few years with the hunters, were scared and quite, worried something would happen, but as the months and years went by, nothing did happen and the two would soon meet their friends Andromeda Trojan (along with her twin brother Theodosius) and Cressida Priestess who joined the same year as them.

During their time with the hunters, the two would learn many different skills and see the world evolve. They would meet hunters like Zoe Potvin, in 1756, who explained she joined after losing her husband and her twin daughters Anne and Estelle. Holly, Elias, Theo, Andromeda, and Cressida grew to love Zoe as a mother, which Zoe returned to the teens, seeing the them as her children. In 1848, When Zoe began to start Camp Olympia (a fear years after Big Bear was founded), Holly missed her, but she and the other hunters continued to go hunting. She and the other huntress would meet Zamaya Reynoso, Melody Potvin and Andrew James, who Zamaya would later offend since she chose to go with her friends. Holly loved her life with the hunters, but Holly, when meeting Zamaya again, she was surprised to see Zamaya joining the Hunters. Holly was also upset to learn the hunters died, such as Helen Gonzales, Loretta Potvin, and Astra Stardust. Holly and Elias soon came to camp with Andromeda, Theo, and Cressida, preferring to stay with Cabin Mythology, but with the hunters. Elias would soon use the same sword he killed Andres with has his pain weapon

## Personality

Who is Elias Troy, well, It depends on who you ask. There are some things that anyone would agree on, like his organization skills or tendency for color-coding. There are some praises that the Theatre students would say about Elias; they'd call him their "Theatre Dad", mentioning his serious cultivation towards quality performing arts. Others would point out his dramatics, how Elias’ sentences are articulated with hyperbole, with metaphor, so much that one cannot distinguish exaggeration from truth. He is organized and driven, with a fondness for brown manila folders and color-coordinated highlighters and markers. If you asked him where something was, you'd receive a clear, articulate answer. Elias backs up all his notes onto flash drives and a separate harddrive and then to the Cloud. As for those aforementioned manila folders, he has a cabinet in his room, carefully labeled, dedicated to storing them. While Sage has a tendency to accumulate data, the impressiveness of that is overshadowed by his ability to pinpoint exactly where the facts are. It's this tendency to accumulate data that helps us see what sort of person Elias is. Elias is, fundamentally, a boy who loves the arts and humanities. He loves fiction, he loves dance, he loves music. He loves those things because art will elucidate the human condition, because art brings people closer together in understanding one another. He is curious, always seeking for new knowledge to create a new lens to view the world. Performing arts is his medium for this. Elias uses it to understand how to express the truth through lies. As an actor on stage, Elias wants to use his experience to understand greater things, other institutions who are acting just as he is, like politicians and the government and newspaper agencies. Elias fundamentally believes that the mythical world is corrupt, that the information fed by Camp Olympia is pure manufactured consent. He's perpetually scared that the world he grew up in is being sanitized and censored, and is aiming to find "reality" beyond what's handed to him. In a way, he views himself like a prisoner trapped in Plato's cave, longing to be free. With such strong beliefs, you can't expect him not to be outspoken. In his writings, Elias will pour his thoughts into narratives. It is exactly why he loves to write poetry and plays. Often, when writing his fiction, Elias knows that he doesn't have the answers, but hopes to find the answers as he explores the psyche of his characters. It's his own way of feeling empathy, it's his own way of making sense in a world that doesn't. Furthermore, he wants others to know how he feels about the world. But being highly aware of the world isn't the best of things. Elias knows that he has to be careful, that he has to be cautious, that people in power could see what he writes as treason. Because of this, Elias is highly protective of himself, covering his tracks and making sure that either a) he cannot be traced or b) if he can, he's able to dismiss his concerns. He's good at being sneaky, easily concealing himself in hiding points due to his small stature and brilliant acting. Being an actor, he's one for the dramatics, and has absolutely upped the ante of his public persona, the concerned conspiracy theorist. This public persona of Sage is, by all means, rather irrational. This persona will insist on buying food organic, on wearing a gas mask indoors, on hiding his appearance in long coats and scarves. Sage will talk about 'chemicals in the air', and show you how he'd duct-taped the camera on his devices. It's definitely an ironic portrayal of himself, one that Elias eventually aims to "age out of" once he leaves the school. Though, this ironic portrayal is fun, Elias will admit. In fact, he rather relishes it. Growing up with a group of hunters who hated boys, Elias isn't particularly used to so much attention and focus on himself. Because of this, over his first years at Camp Olympia he's fallen into the persona more and more, constantly seeking the attention that it gives him. Now, in the last stretch of his current years, he's seemed to have mostly shaken it off, too aware and focused on his own future to keep up with it all the time. Elias is also very protective of his sister. Given what happened to her with her former lover, he is even willing to kill for his sister. Elias above all else, is loyal to the people he loves and cares about. He can also be a bit rageful and stubborn, doing things based on emotions and being quick to attack those who have wronged him. He is known to be a brave hearted leader with a strong mind but a bit sarcastic and playful too.

### Fatal flaw

Elias' fatal flaw is his loyalty. He would do anything to keep his family (Holly and Anatole), even if it meant he had to get hurt to do it.

## Appearance

Elias looks fairly similar to his sister, since they are twins of course. He has the same fair skin, the same strawberry blonde hair (which is a mix of his father's auburn hair and his mothers blonde hair) and the same purple eyes as his twin. While his sister has two main outfits, he is contempt with one standard outfit. In Ancient Greece, he wore traditional Greek clothing, but now at camp, he wears a gray jacket, a white shirt, black jeans, and gray and pink sneakers

## Relationship

### Friends

#### Theodosius Trojan

Elias is very close friends with Theodosius since both their respective twin sisters are hunters of Artemis. The two like to hang out a lot and are very protective of their sisters. While Elias is the older twin, Theodosius is the younger twin between himself and Andromeda. The two also like playing video games together

### Family

#### Helen of Troy (Mother)

Growing up, Elias was very close with his mother, though she disapproved of the twins using any weapons. Elias feels guilty for not telling his mother was was happening with Andres and Holly, and often thinks about what would have happened if he *did* tell her. Elias also regrets becoming immortal since it meant he had to leave his family behind. He misses her mother, but knows she's in the underworld, at peace (Hopefully)

#### Menelaus (Father)

Elias was also very close to his father growing up. He greatly admires his father and, when he was younger, wanted to be a great ruler like he was. He loved to hear about how bravely he fought in the Trojan War. Unlike Helen, Menelaus approved of the twins using weapons, wanting them to be skilled fighters just in case they had to defend Sparta from any threats. He misses her father but knows he's in the underworld with her mother

#### Holly (Twin sister)

Elias is Holly's twin brother, and the older of the two. Much like most siblings they fought with each other, but underneath all the fighting, they truly loved each other. Elias is protective of Holly and was the first person to suspect something was going on with Holly's former lover, Andres. Once Elias soon found about what Andres was doing to Holly, but his sister begged him not to tell their parents, fearing what would happen to both her and Andres. Elias reluctantly agreed to keep quite. One day, a few days after their sixteenth birthday, Elias caught Andres abusing his sister and in a moment of protection and rage, Elias pulled out a sword and killed Andres. When Holly joined the Hunters of Artemis at the age of 17, she asked Artemis to make him immortal as well, which Artemis agreed so, seeing as Elias was so protective of Holly and earned her respect.
