STORY
Elias is a traveling priest from Ireland who was born into a high-class strictly religious family. After Elias turned into a young adult, a tragic murder occurred within the Patrick family and Elias was pinned as the culprit. Even though he was innocent, he was swiftly sent to prison. While being in prison, Elias lost his religious faith and decided to pick up boxing while in prison. Shortly after, he met the prison's priest who restored his religious faith and taught him the arts of Exorcisms.
Years later, Elias was acquitted and released from prison. He dedicated his life to saving those who meet misfortune in their lives. Over time, he built a shelter orphanage in Sunshine City and saved many from their struggles. One day, Elias received a call from a client to help with the possession of a young girl and this girl was Alice. Not wanting to harm Alice, Elias couldn't use his methods to rid the evil spirit of her body. So he seeks out another solution, and that solution is to seek out the Black Dragon, Johann.

Elias is a good balance of offense/defense, with great pressure tools and a combo heal. He's fantastic at close range but struggles at mid-long range. |
| Pros |
Cons |
- Great Pressure:Elias has a High/Low mix-up with a decent reward, a fast command grab, and a fantastic rapid chain cancel using 2A > cl.C.
- Self Healing: Elias can heal himself off of his Maximum Delirium Super and Hell or Heaven special. It's a very small heal, about 10% of the damage dealt.
- Great First Impact: His impact has some invincibility frames, which allows him to move past attacks and fireballs at close range.
|
- Strange Guard Cancel: Elias' Guard Cancel is a two-hitting attack. It is very situational thanks to its long recovery time and it being able to be low-profiled.
- Slow Zoning: Holy flare is the worst fireball. Its only reliable use is in full-screen okizeme and can be punished easily if you mess up your timing.
- Close Range Only: Elias only shines in close ranges. Anything else, he must commit to a jump or bait the opponent into making mistakes.
