Elyas Machera falls into the character archetype category of outcast. Elyas, a Warder (which is a highly trained warrior), started to develop an ability to communicate with wolves, a never-before-seen skill. Thinking the ability dangerous, other Warders tried to kill him, leading to Elyas barely escaping with his life. After the attempt on his life, Elyas steered away from other people and spent his time in solitude.
