Personality: Elend, or just "El", has the backbone of a jellyfish after it's been washed up on the beach for the batter part of a week. Sure, his brain works on an inhuman level when he's found himself a lab coat, but that does him a whole lot of good when he's stammering on and worrying about how stupid and useless he is. Seriously kid, grow a pair! He's constantly undervaluing himself, and he should seriously think about talking to someone about his self esteem problems. Any situation that involves girls makes him extremely uncomfortable, even more than normal. Occasionally he kind of zones out when he's thinking hard about something or working on something. It's much easier to talk to him when he's like this, as he'll talk normally and answer questions without realizing that he's actually carrying on a conversation with another living person, but the second he snaps out of it he goes back to being his normal, shy and nervous self.

Biography (before coming to Orion Academy): Elend doesn't know who his real parents are, only that they put him up for adoption before he was born. His foster family is nice enough though. And hey, he got a cute little sister out of the whole deal, so there isn't much else he can complain about. He felt the need to earn his place in his family, which he tried to do by being the best in school. That didn't work out. El couldn't pass gym if his life depended on it, can't write anything worth reading, and don't even get him started on the whole art fiasco. The only two things he was good at was science and math. He's not the most well-rounded sort of guy. Bullies have always seen El as a free meal, which he really is. It's not like he was going to fight back or anything. During high school his life took a sudden turn for the positive when he met Abby. By some impossible miracle, the two of them hit it off right away. Cassie, El's little sister, had to pay him that fifty bucks from when she'd bet that he'd never get a girlfriend a lot sooner than she'd been hoping. El had actually had to bring Abby home on three separate occasions before Cas finally believed him. He never did stop to wonder about all of his bullies disappearing the same time he met Abby. For the first time in his life, Elend was completely content with his place. Maybe he'll see them again?
