Quote: "Man is least himself when he talks in his own person. Give him a mask, and he will tell you the truth." - Oscar Wilde Character Description Appearing to be in his early 50's and standing about 6ft and barrel chested Elijah’s short dark No.2 is peppered with grey. The beard holding more grey than dark makes it difficult to tell if the mouth reflects the smiling blue eyes. A black t-shirt bearing the swansong motif of Led Zeppelin peaks out from an open tanned sheepskin jacket. Clean yet worn in parts like its owner it appears to have seen better days. Faded Levis and a pair of sturdy brown boots complete the ensemble. Slung over his shoulder and resting against his hip an old brown leather bag rides easy against him. Covered in scuff marks its torn and battered stitching and supple sheen are indicative of its age. Elijah is known to be Curator for the West Australian Athenaeum, The Grey Door and strongly adheres to the Mysterium protocols and concept of guanxi. Nimbus Aura of cool blue with jagged black streaks arcing slowly throughout. A deep rumbling like waves or thunder in the distance that is almost subsonic, more felt than heard.
