This is a long post, I can’t add a read-more link via the app, so.. this is a warning..

The Basics

1. Give their full name, and describe them or post a picture! Elias Gael Miller.

2. How old are they? He’s in his mid 40’s.

3. Sexuality and gender? Queer man. He likes people no matter gender or sex but doesn’t fall in love easily.

Pre-Game

1. How did they end up at the Hope County Sheriff’s Department? How long have they worked there? Miller was originally from the Albuquerque SD and was one of their top sheriffs and was moved to Hope County just for Eden’s Gate.

2. Relationship with Pratt, Hudson, and Whitehorse? Miller bonded with Whitehorse first purely because of them being closer to age than Pratt and Hudson. (tbc)

3. Do they have an education? After college he did basic military training and after that he went to the police academy and started working at the SD right after graduating.

4. Where are they from? Did they speak a different language there? He’s born and raised in Albequerque, NM. English is his mother tongue and knows very basic Arabic.

5. Is there anyone outside the valley that might have come looking for them? His parents and two sisters lived regular lives and were ”only” deathly worried about him not answering their phone calls. They called the SD but never got an answer as to what was going on. They had been informed about what was going on and he told them that no matter what would happen they should not come looking for him.

6. Did they have a religious background of any kind? He wants to believe in something to have something to depend on or draw hope or faith from, but haven’t found anything. The rest of his family have various beliefs.

Inside Hope County

1. What was going through their head when the helicopter went down and during the subsequent chase? Pretty much ”typical that this would happen first thing after my transfer”. But it just made his anger toward the Seeds and Eden’s Gate grow stronger at the moment. And also amazed at how a man could get such a big religious following in a short amount of time.

2. Were they afraid of Joseph and Eden’s Gate? Angry? He wasn’t afraid of the individuals or their beliefs but more of what they could achieve and potentially ruin.

3. Did they trust Dutch? Not right after the crash and being rescued from the river. While spending that first day on his island he gained some trust for him, but not too much, but as the days and weeks went by he came to trust Dutch wholeheartedly.

4. How did they feel about their team being taken by the cult, did they count them as lost, did they want them back, did they not care? Despite just getting onto the team and getting to know them they were a team and on his side so he wanted them to be okay and survive. It did cross his mind that they might’ve been converted while he was looking for them, but he still needed to get them. Had they converted he would’ve left them.

5. How did they take to the idea of being part of, if not leading, the resistance? Being part of something so big was very new and difficult to grasp, but he did not mind being part of it and he quickly got into it and easily grew into a bit more of a leader.

6. Which companions did they recruit, and who did they travel with the most? He recruited all of them because they needed all the manpower they could get. Some he recruited only because of that and found some of those lacking, but the rest he grew close to. Sharky and Nick were by his side most of the time. When he felt like having some quiet time he would either bring Boomer and ’Burger instead or go alone.

7. Did they have time to find romance amidst the chaos? How did they do it? His priority was to bring down Eden’s Gate and didn’t really think of such things during his time in Hope County. Though he couldn’t deny that the Seed brothers were his type, but they were monsters in his eyes after all. He grew very fond of Sharky and deeply enjoyed being with him, but felt that Eden’s Gate was like a wall that stopped him for feeling more in fear of either dying. Though he did chance a kiss, which was reciprocated.

8. Feelings about Joseph? On one hand he was jealous of him - having such a strong belief for something. On the other he pushed his belief in a violent way, which no religion or belief should do, so his hatred for Joseph ran deep.

9. Feelings about the other Seeds? Just as insane and evil as Joseph, just in other ways.

10. How did they handle having to kill animals and other humans? Had they done it before? He’d killed both before. Farm animals while growing up and humans in his line of work. He’s fine with it as long as it serves a purpose - food, getting rid of evil etc. Tangent -> this he kind of struggled with, the true meaning of evil. If Joseph killing people for the sake of his beliefs is evil, isn’t Elias killing the Seeds and all the peggies evil? As his belief is that Eden’s Gate is a harbinger of death, for no good reason. And then the cycle repeats.

11. Which canon ending did they choose in-game, and would you have changed the ending at all? He chose to resist Joseph, but he was really close to letting him go but god damn it he worked so hard to take him down, he couldn’t just let him walk. As a player i of course have done the other ending as well, but it doesn’t fit him.

Personal

1. Favorite weapon(s)?

2. Stealth or firepower? A bit of both, depending on the mission, but he doesn’t want to waste ammo. Starting stealthy and see how far it goes..

3. How did they spend their time, when not fighting peggies? Hanging out with Sharky and/or Nick, having fun with the animal companions, hiking, reading comics.

4. Where did they live during the events of the game? The old Miller residence (haha) just north of Orville Creek in John’s region.
