Eli's Character Profile
Profile
 |
Name: Eli Role: The Planner Goal: To build an empire Faction: The Saints EN Voice Actor: Eugene Byrd |
| Eli is the Saints' strategist and long-term planner. He came to Santo Ileso wanting to become a successful entrepreneur and joined up with the Boss and the Saints to build up their criminal business with them. While he didn't expect to work in the crime world, Eli still puts all of his business, management, and tactical skills into making the Saints as big as possible. | |
Eli's Introduction Video
Eli's Backstory
Raised to Succeed
A first-generation American, born in the Midwest to Nigerian parents who came to the US on student visas in the mid-1980s. Raised with a strong work ethic and high aspirations (his mother is a biochemist and his father an economist), Eli desperately wants to succeed. However, he wants to do it on his own terms rather than follow someone else's path. He lives his life following the Gospel of Shark Tank and TED Talks.
Taking Real Estate to Santo Ileso
Eli took all of the money he saved working in college (and selling plasma) and moved to Santo Ileso because it met his requirements of “large urban environment” and “low property value”. Eli believes he can make a killing on real estate in the city. Currently all his money (and several loans) are tied up in a minor real-estate investment… which, so far, is not exactly delivering the returns he’d expected.
Building an Empire with Friends
Eli loves his roommates and always dreamed of creating a business with them. The fact that that business has turned out to be a criminal empire is not what he expected, but what the heck. The principles are the same. He may not have combat experience (by choice), but he DOES have a degree in business and a minor in marketing, and he intends to apply that knowledge in building up their criminal empire.
