Eli (Video Game)

"Oh yeah? Who the fuck are you? Her bodyguard or something?!"

- Eli to Javier.

Eli is an original character who first appears in Telltale Games' The Walking Dead: Season Three. He is a maker and producer of bullets for the community of Prescott.

Pre-Apocalypse
Nothing is known about Eli's life before the apocalypse except that he may have lived in or near Prescott before the apocalypse.

Post-Apocalypse
Before the events of the game, Eli joined the town of Prescott and became their bullet producer though he typical only gave them away if people traded him something for them. This attitude led him to be somewhat distrusted within the town, according to Tripp. Eli made a deal with Clementine when she passed through; she gave him batteries as a trade for ammunition though Eli semingly ripped her off, giving her blanks.

Ties That Bind - Part 1
When Clementine arrived at Prescott, she confronts him about ripping her off as her bullets failed to fire outside the town. Eli defends himself, saying she can't prove they were his bullets and even if they were, Clementine can trade them back for the batteries she gave him. Javier interrupts, only for Eli to mock him for being Clementine's bodyguard; Javier can either confirm or deny the remark. (Determinant)

Losing her patience, Clementine proves her claim by pointing her pistol at Eli and firing, the bullet subsequently failing to fire. Angered, Eli draws a blade and attempts to strike Clem only for Javier to intervene, parrying his knife and subduing him or Clementine kicks him in the knee to detain him. (Determinant) Stunned, Eli proposes a truce only for Clementine to grow even more angry and fire again. However, this time the bullet fires, striking Eli clean in the head, killing him. It is unknown what became of his body.

Clementine
"Hey, what's the point in talking, when I already told you, a deal is a deal. And it's done."

- Eli to Clementine

Eli had a hostile relationship with Clementine, trading her fake bullets for a box of batteries, which nearly caused her death. Clementine later confronted him about it, threatening to hurt him if he denied her claims. However, Clementine ends up accidentally killing him with a bullet that did work, though she expresses little remorse for what she did.

Javier García
"Jesus... You gotta to get her under control, man."

- Eli to Javier Javier knew Eli briefly, but their interaction was hostile, the pair coming to blows when the latter tried to harm Clementine. Javier either blames Clementine for Eli's death or believes killing him was justified (Determinant).
