Elias Tretskian

Elias "Eli" Tretskian is a former student of SQSS, and the eldest member of the Tretskian family of Brenton. He is elaborated on occasionally, usually by his younger sister, Elene. He is described as handsome, of average height, with short, black hair in loose curls, strong, sarcastic, and having deep brown eyes. He and his wife, Demetria, have been together since high school, and they currently live in a large apartment in Seattle, in which Eli is an Anchorman for the local news.

Previous to this, he was a fairly sucessful boxer, until a near-death expirence made him decide that his young family were more important, he got a job as a cameraman. Eventually, he was asked to be a last-minute replacement for the 6:00 news, and "the camera hasn't left [him] since." He is currently the co-anchor, with Betsy Pullnam.

Like his sisters, he is mentioned to be an avid drinker in his younger days, although he claims to be disgusted by rum of any kind. He was voted "Most Sarcastic" in his high school yearbook. Elene mentions that the two don't get along, unless they're high.
