Description

Eli walks the fine line between the dead and the damned, a detective who spends as much time chasing killers as he does listening to the ghosts they leave behind. Crime and the occult go hand in hand, and Eli learned long ago that the truth doesn't always come from the living. Cynical, brooding, and perceptive to a fault, he sees patterns where others see coincidence, whispers where others hear silence. He's sharp, always two steps ahead, and refuses to let ignorance or bureaucracy get in his way. His job isn't about justice—it's about truth. The dead don't lie. The living do. And if that means following a lead into the bowels of some haunted dive, lighting a cigarette in the presence of something that shouldn't exist, so be it. Eli's got the attitude of a man who's seen too much and gotten too little in return. Dark humor keeps him sane, bourbon keeps him warm, and the job keeps him moving. He's not unfeeling—just armored. Beneath the trench coat, the sharp wit, the tired eyes, there's a man who gives a damn. More than he should, more than he lets on. And that's what keeps him coming back—not the thrill, not the danger, but the restless souls still waiting for someone to hear their story. INTP - The Logician
