Elijah Knight/Relationships

## Family

### Rahdeas

Rahdeas is an Elder dwarf and the foster father of Elijah. Rahdeas found Elijah in the Kingdom of Darv and took him in. Rahdeas loves Elijah as though he were his own son and took it upon himself to mentor the boy after he became a mage. Realizing his true potential, Rahdeas sent Elijah to Sapin to become an adventurer in the human domain. Despite being his father and loving and respecting Radheas for taking him in, Elijah doesn't know much about Rahdeas nor where he came from to end up in the dwarven kingdom.

## Friends

### Arthur Leywin

Arthur Leywin is a fellow Adventurer that Elijah became aquainted with and later his best friend. The two met when they both took their rank examinations on the same day. Elijah was impressed by Arthur's amazing abilities in swordsmanship and fire magic but they would not meet until years later where they were both assigned to the Dire Tombs Exploration Party. He becomes a close friend to Arthur in the Dire Tomb as Elijah tends to the wounded Arthur after he was blasted in the side by Lucas. During this time they share their stories before making contact with the guild to put an end to the Dire Tomb situation. Elijah lives with Arthur for a few months after that incident, solidifying their friendship and treating eachother as brothers. The two are shown to be comfortable enough to joke around with each other. Despite how close they were, Elijah admitted that he was envious of how many girls fawned over Arthur while he would strike out most of the time. He was further infuriated when he was shown to be acquainted with both princesses of Sapin and Elenoir, declaring that Arthur's good looks were wasted on him. Nevertheless the two were shown to be close enough that Arthur was willing to help Elijah attend Xyrus Academy under the same sponsorship as Vincent Helstea. The two bond further there as roommates, where Elijah confides in Arthur his wish to get a girlfriend. Arthur would even share his sparring room with Elijah to help him grow as a mage. Elijah was shown to look up to Arthur and aspired to be the kind of mage that he was and vowed to become strong enough to stand by his side as an equal. Following the Attack on Xyrus Academy, Arthur was visibly enraged that the Vritra kidnapped Elijah, blaiming himself for not returning to Xyrus sooner and vowing to rescue Elijah no matter the cost. After Elijah is kidnapped, he regains his memory from his past life and now has a burning hatred for the man who used to be King Grey, the man who killed the woman he loved. Later he fought Arthur almost losing if not for Cadell's intervention. Later He learns that he is still alive to his anger he decides to kill him as he confronts him at the victoriad but loses badly as Arthur cripples him then kills Cadell before escaping. After Cecilia heals his core, he regains his memories breaking free from Agrona's brainwashing and his hatred for Arthur have lessend. If they meet again it is possible they might reconcile.

### Tessia Eralith

While the two are not shown interacting much, Elijah had a very big crush on Tessia at first sight, though he does nothing to act on it other than gush to Arthur about how beautiful and unapproachable she is as well as respecting Arthur's relationship with Tessia, though he was envious that Arthur was able to converse and snuggle with the "Lunar Goddess" herself. While Tessia knows about Elijah from Arthur, she is mostly unaware that he even exists. After awakening as Nico, Tessia becomes disturbed by his behavior towards her after remembering his past life and his plans to use her as the vessel for his past lover Cecelia.

## Enemies

### Lucas Wykes

Lucas Wykes is a fellow student of Xyrus Academy as well as a former Adventurer admitted at the same time as Elijah. Elijah at first did not have much of an opinion of Lucas besides regarding him as a spoiled brat like many others do. However his hatred for Lucas would foster greatly after the Venture Into the Dire Tombs Incident. Elijah and Lucas were assigned to the Dire Tombs Exploration Party where after encountering an Elderwood Guardian, Lucas chose to sacrifice his teammates while he escaped, going as far as to attack them so that they could act as bait for the monster. After narrowly surviving the dungeon thanks to Arthur, Elijah did not hesitate to attack Lucas upon their reunion, only stopping himself when Arthur asked him to. Upon reuniting as students of Xryus Academy, their hatred for each other had not diminished, though Elijah was forced to keep his distance due to Lucas hiding behind his family's influence. During the Attack on Xyrus Academy, when Lucas was revealed to be working with Draneeve and was responsible for kidnapping and attacking Tessia, Elijah did not hesitate to kill Lucas, only failing to do so as he passed out just before he could strike Lucas.
