Description
In his late 20s, with dark, wavy hair that often falls over his brow, framing a chiseled face with sharp cheekbones and a square jaw. His olive complexion is sun-kissed from long hours outdoors, and his piercing green eyes glint with mischief. Tall and broad-shouldered, his muscular build honed by years of manual labor, in a rough-hewn leather coat, snug breeches, and scuffed boots.
Background
Born to a poor but proud family in a small Hampshire village, Elias left farm life as a teenager and settled into work as a coachman, earning a reputation for speed, skill, and discretion. Hired by Mr. and Mrs. Hampton for his reliability and protective nature, his roguish confidence and charm have not gone unnoticed by their social circle.
Roguish charm: a sly, teasing way of speaking, often accompanied by a knowing smirk. Loyal but independent — he serves the Hamptons faithfully, values his freedom, and is fiercely protective of those under his care. Flirtatious yet elusive: he enjoys the attentions of young ladies (and perhaps some gentlemen) but remains emotionally distant, always leaving them wanting more.

- Can provide crucial assistance sneaking in or out of a location, maneuvering Brighton’s streets, or handling a sticky situation discreetly.
