Character History

Graphic Novel:Prodigals, Part 1

Eli is spotted by Tracy flirting with another woman, who is obviously not interested. Tracy goes other to tell the man to leave the woman alone, and in doing so knocks off his backpack, which irritates him. A man in a green shirt says his wallet fell from Eli's backpack and attempts to confront him, and Eli pulls out a gun. Tracy then asks if he is Eli, to which he responds that she "has our attention", and shows his copies. She angers him further by saying that she is with the carnival, prompting them to open fire on her, causing her to liquefy and fall into a pool. Eli and his clones remark that she was cute, and are surprised when she rises up out of the water covered in ice. She kills one of his copies and he speeds off in a speedboat, giving her a vengeful look.

Graphic Novel:Prodigals, Part 2

Tracy learns that Eli's clones are hollow and different inside and manages to track a clone down to Cape Town. The clone informs Tracy that the original, the "omega Eli", is somewhere in town and Tracy begins to do some research. She learns that clones run multiple taxis that go by the diamond district, which is also largely run by clones. She then realises that the extremely cheap diamonds are actually real and are manafactured in a mine bought by an American man, Eli. Tracy meets the original Eli, who is surprised that she took so long to find him. He explains that, much to her disbelief, he is not a criminal. He shows her the hundreds of clones that are working on the mine and he says that he is a working man.

Evolved Human Abilities

Eli has the ability to clone himself. Eli seems to be reffered to by his clones as the "Omega" or the "Prime" and is able to produce dozens of clones. All of Eli's clones are hollow on the inside and share a sort of collective mind.
