Excerpt lifted from the Themis Database, circa 2063:

"Elias’ early introduction to the World of Darkness and the life of a Hunter, together with several defining events that forced him to make hard decisions, have given Elias the characteristics of a child soldier – that is, someone almost obsessively dedicated to the cause, and almost totally incapable of separating himself from his beliefs and his work. He possesses a strategist’s mind, and has the tendency to measure every being he encounters according to their capabilities. His friends and loved ones are not spared from this in the slightest, even if the feelings he may harbor for them are genuine. Elias is all about solving problems, and constantly occupies himself with this business: the concept of taking a break is alien to him, and he is always looking for new ways of making him absolutely efficient.

Initially, it may appear as though Elias’ decision to become a Pure Sovereign was simply a logical decision on his part, as it provided him with the means of being nearly immortal and completely rid him of most human weaknesses (i.e. the need for sleep, the subjective and messy nature of emotion). In reality, however, it may actually be a form of escapism. Dealing with loss, coupled with the guilt he feels over the actions he has taken in the past (especially during the First Reforms and the Darkest Vigil), has left deep scars on Elias’ psyche. Following this logic, it is likely that he cannot actually process his own emotions, and thus prefers to turn them off entirely in order to continue fulfilling his role as a Hunter. He has no desire to be compromised in any fashion, as he is only too aware of his importance within today’s Vigil."
