“

Get out of here! This is my property and you are not welcome! ―Elías to Brandon's group after they try to steal his chickens. (Translated from Spanish)

”

Elías Suarez is a survivor of the outbreak in AMC's Fear the Walking Dead. He is a farmer living in Baja California.

Overview

Owner of his family farm, Elías seemingly was once a normal family man with a wife and two kids. However, his family had died in the early stages of the outbreak, and he buried them on his farm. Elías is shown to be very protective of his farm and is willing to shoot those who trespass. After Brandon's Group arrives on his farm and begins grabbing his chickens, Elías storms in with his shotgun and orders them all to leave. However, the situation gets complicated due to a language barrier and Brandon's refusal to leave. Elías is extremely aggressive and refuses to calm down despite Travis' pleas. After James snaps one of the chicken's necks, Elías shoots him in the leg, which later indirectly causes his death. Though he does notably not aim at a lethal area, showing he might not want to resort to killing. However, Chris takes matters into his own hands and shoots Elías in the chest. This event is one of Chris' first steps into a hardened survivor and his eventual downfall.

Pre-Apocalypse

Baja California, Mexico

Nothing is known about Elías' life prior to or as it began, except that he had a wife, Angelica, and two children, Benito and Sara. He and his family lived on a farm in Baja California. Elias was born on February 12th, 1961.

Post-Apocalypse

Season 2

As the outbreak wreaked havoc in Baja California, his wife and kids were killed. Their bodies are buried on the farm.

"Do Not Disturb"

As Chris chases chickens in the barn with Brandon, Derek, and James, Travis attempts to calm the young men down. Suddenly, Elías bursts into the barn, armed with a rifle. He shouts in Spanish to everyone and points his gun at them. Travis frantically attempts to calm the farmer down, but Elías shoots James in the leg after he breaks a chicken's neck. As tensions get worse, Chris suddenly shoots Elías in the chest, sending him to the ground, choking on his blood until he dies.

Elías is shot in the head by Chris to prevent reanimation. He is then buried alongside his family by Travis. Travis later looks around in Elias' home to find out his name to carve it on the cross of his grave.
