The next thing is something that I wrote about in another post already but I still think this is true (it is in my head and I can’t get it out of there so well, bear with me please) I think he chose Elias because Elias is very capable of violence. I just think that Jonah himself isn’t ever shown as a physical person (at least as far as I can remember) and he truly behaves like an Avatar of the Eye: watches, observes and never gets his own hands dirty. So why was he suddenly able to not only kill Jürgen Leitner but fucking bludgeon him with the bluntest object he could find? Why was he able to shoot Gertrude three times, murder her in cold blood while she was most likely facing him that very moment? I get that this is probably because they both threatened to get into his way, he was getting closer and closer to his goal but Gertrude planned on destroying the Panopticon and Jürgen Leitner would have derailed his plan of preparing Jon and he wasn’t under any circumstances going to let them win. So I think as James Wright he already encountered Gertrude and he knew perfectly well what she was willing to sacrifice to stop every single ritual and he never once looked inside her head (out of respect? Fear?) but still knew she was absolutely dangerous. So I imagine James Wright to be quite boring and definitely not very capable of violence and so Jonah decides he need a new vessel asap if he wants his ritual to succeed on the long run so he goes and finds Elias and here we are. Because I still think he doesn’t just possesses his vessels but merges his and their personalities together until they become a new and advanced version of himself…(that’s probably why the statement of Elias was just an echo as Jon said, not the real him, because he doesn’t exist anymore) And after taking over Elias’ body I think he was finally able to fully achieve his plans, I like to think that without Elias Jonah wouldn’t have been able to bring the apocalypse the way he did.
