Eli Sipes

Eli, a character in the Wake the Dead series, is a vagrant and one of your love interests. He is first seen in Chapter 2.

Appearance
Eli has very short black hair with the sides of his head shaved, green eyes, a small beard, tanned skin, and multiple scars across his face. He wears a grey bandana around his neck, a golden ripped shirt with brown sleeves, and brown leather gloves. He also wears several belts around his grey pants, with a knife and a rope attached to them.

Personality
Eli is a fighter and survivor, having been one of the only people actually prepared for an apocalypse. He is a loner and doesn't socialize much, making him appear intimidating at first glance. As he survived the post-outbreak world, he has become a skilled marksman with his bow, as he is able to shoot a zombie in the eye at 200 yards.

As Angel puts it, Eli lacks pizazz, drama, and flair, as he usually opts to go with the most straight-forward and efficient tactic to get the job done.

Background
Eli survived with his parents and his brother in a cabin not too far away from the Tower, where they employed a daily routine of keeping zombies off their property. But once Eli lost his family to the zombies, he became unwilling to leave the cabin since he believed it was all he had left.

Your Character
During your first encounter with him, he helped you fight the drones, but later he threatened to kill you and asked you to leave his territory. However, after seeing your sister's injuries, he decides to let you rest in his cabin. As the drones filled into his cabin, he refused to leave since the cabin held a lot of memories for him. You can either force him to leave or persuade him to leave by grabbing important notes.

Your Sister
