Elijah Sexton, real name Meshara, is the main viewpoint character of the novella Next of Kin and a major character in The Devil's Only Friend.
History
Edit
According to Nathan Gentry, Meshara is a name of Sumerian origin [1], which suggests he may come from here or borrowed a name when he was there thousands of years ago.
Like the other Withered, Meshara took part in a ritual to gain immortality, and gave up his memories to become Gifted, which he speculates he might have done to forget some terrible acts he did [2]. After that, according to Brooke, he became worshipped as a god of dreams [3].
His memories after that are muddled but, either his own or ones he stole, tell him that he fought in Egypt, spent time in Crete, was a Portuguese sailor during the Age of Exploration, lived as a banker in Nebraska, as a soldier in the Confederacy [4], and fought in the Tet Offensive during the Vietnam War [5], before settling in Fort Bruce.
DeathEdit
Killed byEdit
While talking to John, Potash snuck behind him and decapitated him.[6]
