BIOGRAPHY
As such, Master Bellior's death brought great sorrow and grief to the young Jedi, who, at the age of 19, failed to save his treasured Master from death. Bellior died at the hands of a gang of mercenaries who held anti-Jedi sentiments; the duo fought them back until Eli stood and watched as his paternal figure, his teacher was slain, and at that moment he channelled Dark Side of the Force with a deep and seething rage and used the Force to asphyxiate their assailants, before taking Tsang Bellior's corpse back to Ajan Kloss.
Try as he might, Elijah Surt struggles to fight back the Dark Side of the Force as he gains the rank of Jedi Knight, his actions in avenging his master's death a secret he has buried within him, as he has tried to do with the intoxicating call of the Dark Side of the Force.
Once you start down the Dark path, forever will it dominate your destiny.
Personality
He is incredibly dedicated to the Jedi Order; some may consider him to be a zealot for his devotion to the Light Side and adherence to the Jedi Code is remarkable. The Coruscanti Jedi has chosen to follow a more traditional outlook on Jedi life; he has cut off all personal attachments and lives his life solely for the Force and selflessly as he battles to atone for his meddling with the Dark Side. However, an inherent lust for knowledge and perhaps power, and the flirting with the Dark Side at a young age have left a deep, painful fear of falling to the Dark Side ever present, though deeply buried, within the young man's heart. Surt has an absolutely paralysing fear of eventually renouncing his Jedi ways and following the mantras of the Dark Side.
A keen historian, Surt is very much interested in the turmoil of the past century, and has studied the old Jedi Order and incorporated their less damaging philosophies into his own ruminations and opinions on how the Jedi should conduct themselves, though he is no reformist nor is he discontent with the Order.
Nevertheless, he is a pragmatist and sees the rise of the Sith, or some other dark power inevitable as the Force seeks balance between Dark and Light. He rejects the philosophy that balance means the eradication of the Sith, and as such is also deeply aware that the Jedi must be prepared to fight a threat hellbent on return, whether they express themselves as Sith or some other expression of the Bogan.
The shadow of the Dark Side looms heavily over his head; clouding his thoughts and tempting him with a key to greater power through his dreams; a power with which he could have saved his master and bring order to the Galaxy once and for all. These whispers torment Elijah; and he is greatly conflicted between the love of the Light Side within his heart that he fights so desperately to cling onto and the corrosive Dark Side corruption that claws at him in his sleep and is behind his every conscious fathom.
Fear is the path to the dark side. Fear leads to anger. Anger leads to hate. Hate leads to suffering.
Skills
Surt also has a gift for the power of psychometry; in which he can sense the past turmoil and actions of an object or place by a simple touch, the knowledge whispered to him through the Force through echoes of the past. It is a seemingly natural ability for him; and he has practised his skills to make the art easy for him and the images produced are on the whole accurate and clear. All the same, the technique comes with danger, as the strong feelings evoked through the technique could push him further down the dark path he has fought so tragically to repel.
Elijah is athletic and physically strong; a capable fighter in this sense with or without the Force. He is adept at piloting a ship, gifted with diplomacy skills and is seen as a strong speaker amongst his contemporaries owing to his intelligence and persuasive skills. The Jedi is also rather clever - he has an analytical mind and is good at solving puzzles and retaining knowledge, facts, directions which is undeniably useful in a Galaxy as expansive as the one he lives in.
