I will definitely make a new character if this guy doesn't fit in but here is my first shot at a character for this roleplay. [@ErosSense]


[hider=Elias Pentacost]
[color=808080]
[b][color=5e8b74]Name[/color][/b]		Elias Pentacost  
[b][color=5e8b74]Title(s):[/color][/b]	The Anatomist 
[b][color=5e8b74]Nickname(s):[/color][/b]
[indent]
	The Carver 
[/indent]
[b][color=5e8b74]Role:[/color][/b]		Ex-convicted serial killer; former medical professor (and practicing surgeon) and psychological examiner. Elias spent roughly 2 ½ years in maximum security prison before being let out because he was wrongfully charged for the Cleanser Killings which led to the doubt of him being apart of any killings to do with The Anatomist/The Carver. After that, there were plenty of investigations into Elias Pentacost but nothing else came out of it. 
[hr]
[b][color=5e8b74]Appearance[/color][/b] 
Elias stands slightly over six foot with a lean frame. His features are sharp and intelligent in appearance; high cheekbones, deep-set hazel eyes that flicker with clinical curiosity and educated guesses and neatly combed salt-and-pepper hair. Always impeccably groomed, even when he was in prison, Elias tends to dress in casual-formal or smart-formal clothing – something one would wear to work in a professional field. 
His voice is smooth and articulate, often laced with condescension and amusement. A faded scalpel tattoo winds around his left wrist which is usually hidden by his watch and his hands bear small scars from years of meticulous, hands-on “work”.

[b][color=5e8b74]Personality Synopsis:[/color][/b] 
The middle-aged man can be considered charming, calculated, and eerily calm especially in high tension situations, Elias Pentacost exhibits traits of both a narcissist and a high-functioning sociopath. He takes pride in his intellect and skills, seeing others as either puzzles to solve or specimens to dissect – both metaphorically and literally. He’s highly articulate and enjoys engaging in psychological games, often coaxing secrets or weaknesses from others with chilling ease. Elias is void of empathy but mimics it well, often using faux sympathy as a social scalpel.

[b][color=5e8b74]Background:[/color][/b] 
Formerly a respected anatomy professor, practicing surgeon, and psychologist, Elias was revered in academic circles – until a pattern of “missing persons” and strange cadaver anomalies began to unravel his pristine image. His private victims, often chosen from the vulnerable or forgotten, were methodically dissected and documented. His notes read more like scientific studies than confessions of murder. He was arrested after a medical student of his was found dead and they believed him to be the murderer. Between his own murders, others, and the Cleanser killings – Elias was charged with 19 counts of murder and authorities suspected many more. 
However, 2 ½ years later, Elias was released from prison on account of 17 out of 19 of those murders that he was charged with were not his. The Cleanser continued to kill when he was locked up and a few other unexplained bodies appeared (accident or not) which caused him to have a re-trial which led to his release. They were not able to fully connect him to his own because of the extensive steps he had taken as well. 
[hr] 
[b][color=5e8b74]Motivations:[/color][/b] 
Elias is driven by an obsessive curiosity about the human body, mind, and mortality. He sees his crimes not as evil but as “studies” in anatomy, psychology, and control. His continued involvement in any “case” stems from his need to understand and manipulate. Whether helping (or hindering) investigations or toying with those who come to question him, he stays engaged for one reason: intellectual dominance. 
He might be out from behind bars though the police come to him for answers that are hard because he has a peculiar mind and has helped in the past when he was behind bars. He was never easy with it, but it was like a game to him. 
[hr]
[b][color=5e8b74]Character Alignment:[/color][/b] 
Neutral evil, Elias follows his own code of experimentation and control, unconcerned with morality, but avoids unnecessary chaos unless it serves a purpose. Whatever he does, [i]always[/i] has a purpose for him or he will not do it.
