Arroyo

"Well I don't like to brag but- Ah, who am I kidding? I love to brag!"

- Elijah Arroyo

Elijah Arroyo is one of the early arrivals of the 3rd Generation. He was originally deployed as a Red Team member, and has maintained his position as a member of Squad 4 since the beginning of the 3rd Generation. After the hostile takeover of Red Base by Green Team members, Arroyo transferred to Purple Team to fight (despite the wishes of his girlfriend, Blaise). Arroyo is known throughout the canyon as the go-to tattoo artist and for his sassy sense of humour.

Brief History
Elijah's father was a member of an infamous Spanish crime family, cast out for his choice of wife. In an act of revenge, he took his eldest son at the age of seven and began to train him as an unfeeling, unstoppable assassin to one day kill the criminals that had humiliated him. When the training ended Eli, then 16, rebelled against his father. This eventually led to an attempt on his father's life and Eli abandoning his family completely.

Eli's grandfather, Gomez, then contacted the boy and hired him as an assassin, sending him around the world to kill the Arroyo cartel's enemies. Elijah had been hardened into a warrior, Gomez twisted him into something much worse. Eli spiraled into a life of bloodshed, drugs, and insanity until Gomez and his right-hand man Alejandro betrayed him, leaving him with no choice but to go cold turkey, fake his death, and get as far away from Earth and the Arroyos as he could.
