[edit] Appearance
He wears clothes made of animal skins and a flat-topped cap on his head. His graying brown hair is tied with a cord and hangs down to his waist. He has a thick beard which fans across his chest. He has yellow eyes like a wolf.
[edit] History
Elyas was a Warder to Rina Hafden, now a Sitter of the Green Ajah. He also trained Lan Mandragoran to be a Warder, and it was at some point after this that he became a Wolfbrother. After being held by the Red Ajah -- who thought he was using the One Power, and whom Elyas unwisely accused of being members of the Black Ajah -- he killed several other Warders and escaped. The deaths of the Warders are something he still regrets.
Like all wolfbrothers, Elyas is able to talk and communicate with wolves, but unlike other wolfbrothers such as Perrin Aybara, he lives with wolves, shunning humankind.
[edit] Wolfbrother
After Perrin and Egwene escaped from Shadar Logoth, they met up with Elyas who informed Perrin of his ability[1]. Elyas stated that he had been following the pair for two days, and it is likely that both he and the wolfpack with which he travels were drawn to Perrin due to the latter's potential for brotherhood. He also gave Perrin advice regarding his axe, suggesting that he keep it until he enjoyed using it, and then throw it away. They later meet up with some Tinkers, and although very courteous to them, Elyas is quite reluctant to be around them, because of the Tinkers' aversion to violence.
After an attack by Whitecloaks[2], Elyas was injured and Perrin and Egwene were captured.
Elyas turned up much later at Perrin's camp in Ghealdan and joined his band. He tells Perrin by raising his voice at Faile Bashere every now and then, they will get along much better and she will respect him more. He escorts Perrin to his meeting with Masema Dagar in Abila. He sets out to track down Faile when she is captured by the Shaido.
[edit] Tracking Faile
He finally finds the Shaido camp in the town of Malden and accompanies Perrin there, where he can observe the layout of the land. He talks to Perrin about the excitement of battle, after Perrin chopped a prisoners hand off looking for answers on Faile. Perrin decides to throw away his axe and leave it there.
Elyas helped Perrin free his wife Faile from the Shaido Aiel. He goes through the aqueduct to enter the town of Malden before Perrin begins his attack. Once Faile is found, he follows Gaul, who is trying to find Chiad, and keep him out of trouble.
