Elkanteir stands 6' tall and is built far better than most male elves given they are depicted as weak and small. He tends to tower over many of the females within his city. Being from the City of Dark Weavings, his father is the archmage of the city. While, Elkanteir boasts none of his father's skills, he has other's that his father finds just as useful to him. Elkanteir is a mage killer, he is often the one sent out to deal with threats that his father has need of his particular skills to do so. While he takes this job seriously, he will never strike down someone one he doesn't consider evil.

Elk, doesn't have the overblown sense of ego, that he could have given his life of privilege. He has never been swayed under the boot of a Drow Priestess. He particularly hates Shar, and is more than happy to hunt down her clerics, for the trouble they have caused in the past. This is tied to his mother, his oldest sister and the disaster her worship caused. While not evil, he has a lawful bent to him that can be unruly, in the chaotic society of drow life. He has often time gone to the surface and he enjoys the surface world far more than that of the underdark. So when his father needs rare ingredients it is he who often goes, unless there is need of him for more pressing matters.

In those times he takes on the appearance of a Moon Elf, with pale skin, pale hair and pale eyes. His work name is Ghost, and with good reason as well. Given he tends to get in , get the objective done and get out.
