――――――――――strong code of honor, heightened sense of right and wrong, short-tempered, meticulous, somewhat stubborn, tense, never relaxed, natural leader, compromising, rational, out of touch with his emotions, bottles emotions up until they burst, gets his hopes up too high but refuses to see that, holds people to their word, a man of his word, will not make a false promise, stronger than he realizes, hates not being in control, has long since accepted a lack of bodily autonomy, self-critical, quick with a comeback even if he doesn’t say them out loud, usually a man of few words, cold, distant, not the best at faking it, brutally honest or otherwise silent, will usually just say “yes sir” and mentally gripe about it the whole time, tends to distance himself from anything unimportant, incredible strategist, highly intelligent, not easily trusting, can be somewhat proud but is not above doing work that would be considered below his station, diplomatic when he needs to be, gentle at heart, has a soft spot for children, hides just how afraid he is through a cold and battle-hardened glare, hasn’t cried in at least six years (whenever he feels himself about to cry he typically slaps himself or causes himself some other kind of pain in order to keep himself from starting and somehow it works), bitter, cynical, romantic, willing to do what he believes is right even if it means defying orders, lonely but doesn’t really know it, tends to swallow more noticeably when nervous (true, most people do it, but it’s a tick that people can pick up on since no one can usually judge his emotions), strong sense of duty, strong sense of morality, loves his homeland even if his brother is probably going to turn it to shit, homesick for a time and place and people, can be somewhat wise at times (or at least he can sound that way), clever (especially with insults), may not like being forced to rely on others but is not entirely above asking for help when he needs it (though he prefers to try to do things by himself first), possesses deeply buried self-doubt, a feminist
💎𝓛𝓲𝓴𝓮𝓼
――――――――――+ going into the capital and meeting his people; they’re the only other people he smiles for, especially children

+ good liquor, esp. Pólemesian wines (which are not to be trifled with)
+ music; plays the guitar, harp, piano, violin, cello, and flute to the surprise of everyone who learns this, and also has a rather nice singing voice; he often plays an instrument or sings to himself when he cannot sleep or has woken due to a nightmare/night terror

Elias has never gotten along with his older brother Stefanos, and tries to warn their father about his intentions for the throne. His warnings go unheeded, but Stefanos knows Elias dislikes him and would make a more popular king. It was always determined that Stefanos would become king, being the eldest after all, and Elias doesn’t mind not becoming king. What he worries about is the distinct possibility that Stefanos would be more totalitarian than previous ancestors, or would become more war-desiring than Stavros, their father. It is clear Elias disapproves of Stefanos’ ideas for leadership, and thus pursues politics in whatever way he can, going so far as to pursue becoming a senator, only to be told he couldn’t because he was a prince.
Elias is incredibly skilled in combat — hand-to-hand, wrestling, swordfighting, archery, marksmanship, staff-wielding, javelin/spear, etc, even a whip, and can use both hands with equal skill — and is a gifted strategist. He is very good with knots and ropes, and often uses knots to help release excess tension before sleep or meetings; this is something he picked up after military training
The only person who sees someone other than Elias the military commander is his sister, Dafni. She sees a happy man, one who isn’t afraid to play, to smile, to laugh. She’s able to get him to put down the sword and shield and get out the gentle, loving, romantic in him. Elias therefore is closest to his sister, and is concerned Stefanos may decide to kill her or otherwise dispose of her in order to make sure she doesn’t ask too many questions if Stefanos does something to get rid of his younger brother.
He is fluent in several languages, and where he lacks in political strength he makes up for in physical strength. He is often sparring, training, or otherwise practicing his fighting skills, but will also exercise his strategy skills by participating in sports, often training with Dafni. His only friends are soldiers, and most of them are stationed throughout the country or the sons and daughters of council members or senators.
Elias’ best friend is a general named Emilios, and it is often said Elias is so similar to the man that they are more brothers than Elias is to Stefanos.
There have been numerous instances where Elias has saved Stefanos from assassination; however, almost all these attacks were staged by Stefanos to actually attempt to kill Elias.
He used to be fairly promiscuous, like any young Pólemesian man would be, constantly flirting with men and women alike, but after the numerous attacks on his and Stefanos’ lives, he changed, no longer flirting or even dancing. He misses dancing, and used to be quite good at it; this skill and grace came in handy when sparring or otherwise fighting.
