Eli Marcus

Eli Marcus is the main protagonist of Operation School as well as one of the protagonists in Age of Reclamation and Age of Imagination. Eli is a child super soldier, trained by Operation School to defend Fireside to his last breathe and maintain order and authority. Eli makes minor appearances in the 808 and Hostile Takeover series as well.

Before Operation School
Eli was born into a notably well off family in Fireside City. He had a rather normal upbringing, but was socially awkward to some extent, commonly distancing himself from other children due to his somewhat odd nature, as well as his uncharacteristically, for his age, cynical and sarcastic personality.

Events of Operation School
Due to Eli's age, he ended up being one of the first candidates for the Operation School program. He was also randomly selected to be given two function Artificial Intelligence programs, Delila and Delta. Eli was eventually paired off into a squad with Alex Symoya and Nicole Markovich. During the Invasion of Earth by the Ne'cree, also known as The Fortis, Eli befriended renegade alien Slosheey, who would end up being his life long squad partner and friend.

Personality
Eli was notably cynical, sarcastic, and negative about almost anything. Because of this, he had a hard time making deep connections and friendships with people, only truly managing to do so with his A.I and Squadmates. Despite these personality flaws, Eli had a strong sense of Morality, was fiercely loyal, and often chose to do the right thing instead of following the orders of his superiors.
