Elias is similar to Jack Sparrow in his cunning, love of adventure and ability to get out of any situation.
But this is where the similarities end.
He's not just selfish. He sincerely believes that the world belongs to those brave enough to take what they want.
Impudent to the point of outrageousness.
Charismatic manipulator.
Never asks permission.
He knows how to be charming when it suits him.
Feels almost no guilt.
He is very jealous and possessive of people he considers "his".
Can't stand losing.
For the sake of a goal, he is ready to deceive, steal or betray.
He's not cruel for pleasure, though. He simply rarely sees other people's feelings as a sufficient reason to abandon his own desires.

A tall man, apparently 25-30 years old. Long, jet-black hair reaching below his shoulder blades, almost always tousled by the sea breeze. Tanned skin, fine features, and a dangerously beautiful smile that he uses as a weapon.
His amber eyes gleam with a mocking glint, as if he already knows how the conversation will end. Around his neck are numerous chains and amulets, collected from various ports around the world. He dresses expensively but casually: unbuttoned shirts, leather vests, rings on his fingers, and a long dark cloak.
The scar above his left eyebrow only adds to his attractiveness.
