Editing Elias (section)

== Background == 

Elias was born in the plane of Everchill, a plane known for it's never ending winter. He was the only son of Luthor Snark, a talented (and quite possibly mad!) scientist and the famous adventuress and swordswoman Sonia the Dragonslayer, who dropped him off in the hands of a rather confused laboratory assistant nine months after a night of passion with said assistant's employer. As far as Elias knows, she has never visited Everchill again since then.

Elias Snark had a normal youth, or at least as normal as it gets when your father is a mad scientist working nefarious and immoral experiments for the corrupt communist regime and your mother is a famous but absent adventuress whose only means of contact to you is the irregular postcards that arrived once or twice per year. Still, Elias doesn't hold any grudges, although his father's rather unorthodox methods of fatherhood (that can best be described as a mix of indifference, forgetfulness and empirical research) has left him a bit more cynical than the average person.

As a he grew up Elias enrolled to the proud Everchill Academy of Warfare and Chivalry, set on a course to become a officer in the Everchill Republic Army. Indeed, it seemed as if Elias had a bright future ahead of him. Then everything was turned upside down as Elias inexplicably turned into a criminal overnight. The details are fuzzy about exactly ''what'' he did, but it must've been pretty bad as Elias was forced to flee Everchill with only the cloths he wearing and the servant construct [[Wisp]] with him. Before he left the plane for good though he made himself infamous by sinking the whole republic fleet stationed around the Nhihn, including the famous cruiser "Iceburg".

On the run and with the biggest bounty in the whole of Mirrorskies on his head (with an unpleasant note saying that he needn't be alive), Elias Snark desperately sought refuge in the only place he knew in this strange, multi spectral world. The mysterious society his mother's postcards spoke about, The [[Trailblazing Intrepid Mystery Explorers]]. There, he experienced many adventures, found new friends and learned important lessons in life. He would also reveal that the reason he had to escape Everchill in the first place was because he stole a top secret weapons experiment; Wisp, who also coincedentally had once been his twin sister, [[Elena Snark | Elena]].

When Elias revisited Everchill in order to save Wisp, would been retaken, he accidentally incited a rebellion and overthrew its government by defeating the Empress Niko III. Not without cost though, as in the violent battle Elias lost both his powers to control water and one of his eyes. In the aftermath though, [[Elena Snark | Elena]] was revived by Vicar, who revealed himself to be the famous Adam the Witch Doctor to [[Shire]]. Nobody else is aware of this though, and Elena's revival was a huge surprise to all, Elias in particular.
