has anyone ever betrayed their trust? do they still speak to them? / Elias
Character development asks // open
Elias doesn't really hold other people in very high regard unless it suits his own purposes. Everyone is just a pawn in his game to get what he wants out of his life. Really no one is safe, not even the Archivist who he tries so hard to push towards the end goal. He's already left people to die who were supposedly close to him. Friend just isn't a word he really understands the meaning of.
That being said, the last one to really betray his trust, being Gertrude Robinson, the previous Archivist before Jon, is dead because she tried to pull a fast one and destroy the institute. Elias handled that as soon as he was able.
So the answer is yes. And no he doesn't talk to them because people who betray his trust don't really live to tell the tale.
