Early military service
Elias was born in 99 on Luna. Elias's family had a deep military tradition and his father quickly sent Elias into the local military garrison. There Elias wished to be deployed into different planets, and he was soon assigned to join the upcoming expedition to the War in Vecton. There Elias served in heavy fighting within an Army Company. Elias fought through thick forests, until he was reassigned to join an infiltration team under the command of Maximillian Pierre.

During the war, Elias became a central figure in the Operation Serpenthead, as he became one of the first Terran soldiers to pilot a Lancersuit, the Aspis. Over the operation, the team stumbled upon a Vectonan piloted Mech which threatened Elias's unit's rear. Elias quickly shot the lancersuit earning his first kill.

Pilot service
Elias was naturally chosen to become one of the original pilots in the 66th Armored Experimental Division.
