Eli

Eli is Ephraim’s twin sibling, and also a member of the Keepers. He takes a secondary interest in studying creature engineering.
When Jerrod arrives in Kernelle with an injured crewmate, Ephraim takes them to Eli to see if he can fix his injuries. Eli succeeds, but not without resorting to drastic measures which leaves the crewmate horribly marred in the process.
Eli assumes that the village will forever see him as a heretic becuase of the monster he created. He leaves the village to go to Grand Cluster, where he meets up with Exxor and Nandy.

Mental Trauma

Eli can't stand the thought of having been responsible for ruining another person, robot or human. His pyrrhic victory in saving Israel left him feeling like he could never be forgiven. Outwardly, this manifests as first as a projection that Jerrod and the rest of the village hate him for what happened, but eventually he tries to bury these feelings by trying to abandon what he believes, then finally tries to destroy that belief in others.
