Elias Patrick

Elias Patrick (エリアス・パトリック, Erias Patoriku) is a character who appears in the Rage of the Dragons.

Story
Elias was born into a high-class, highly-educated family who taught him to live a strictly religious life. After a certain family tragedy, he lost his faith in his religion. Sometime afterwards, he was accused for a murder that he did not commit and was sent to prison. His religious faith was restored by the jail's priest, who taught him the arts of exorcism and how to naturally tone his body. Many years later when he was acquitted and released, Elias dedicated himself to saving people who meet misfortune in their lives.

He built a shelter in Sunshine City and saved many people from strife (he used to house the two siblings, Cassandra and Oni). One day, he received a call from a client requesting his help with a girl named Alice, who was possessed by an awakening evil spirit. Concerned by the girl's condition, he faces the problem of removing the spirit without harming Alice. He believes the answer lies with Johann.

Personality
A strict but well-meaning soul who fights in the Lord's name. He hopes to work for the good of others.
