"I never thought I did as well as I could have either. Yet, you constantly telling me to improve or else get my knighthood stripped really pushed me to make myself a better knight." - Eliot, to Leyon

It's been awhile since I last did an FE: Dawn of Darkness character concept art, hasn't it? (not counting Kiara's cat form, of course) Well, here's Eliot, the final named Talgrian knight!

Class: Lance Paladin

Lv. 8

HP: 40
Str: 21
Mag: 2
Skl: 20
Spd: 17
Luk: 23
Def: 16
Res: 12
Con: 11
Wt: 36
Mov: 9

Weapon: Lance - A

The oldest of the named Talgrian knights, Eliot is also the clumsiest and most impulsive. Much to General Leyon's chagrin, he often finds himself caught up in Eliot's mishaps, whether it's slamming into Leyon's tent or spilling something on him. Natalie, the deputy commander, also often scolds him for his reckless behavior. The scar across his nose was from one of his mishaps as well. However, he is very skilled with the lance, and despite his seeming ineptitude, it later becomes clear that he has the heart of a true hero. Eliot ends up saving the lives of both Leyon and Natalie, taking serious injuries in the process, and also plays a major role in restoring Leyon's memory after he loses it from a blow to the head. Eliot looks up to Leyon despite the superior officer being a couple years younger, and would follow no one else. It's also heavily implied that he has a crush on Natalie, but does not believe he deserves her. Even so, Leyon hints that he's trying to get them together anyway.

As you can tell from the title, Eliot also turns out to be a magnificent artist. He will sometimes paint people, but he much prefers landscapes and can paint such vistas as fields, mountains, lakes, rivers, forests, coastlines, and meadows with impeccable skill. His pose here depicts him using a technique called the artist's thumb, which helps an artist measure so the subject can be properly centered in the piece. Eliot later decides to use his skills in a collaboration with fellow Talgrian soldier Morris, where the two design a building. Morris does the architecture while Eliot pulls a Michelangelo and paints murals on the inside. It's revealed later that Eliot's grandfather was a respected artist, and Eliot decided to someday follow in his footsteps. One of the reasons he became a knight was so he could get to travel more and find more subjects to paint.

Eliot is also fascinated with the Talgrian Knights themselves. He is very knowledgeable about their history, as he demonstrates while Leyon is suffering from his memory loss. This was, of course, another reason he became a knight. He originally wanted to be a Bow Knight, but found that mounted archery simply wasn't for him (ironically though, he can use bows once he promotes to a Silver Knight. lol). He studied the lance instead. It's also discovered that there's a story behind why he so impulsively saved the lives of his superior officers and allowed himself to be injured badly in the process.

As a combatant, Eliot has the highest luck of all the Talgrian knights, but while he's a bit faster than Leyon or Marc, he doesn't have as much strength as the former or as much defense as the latter. He still has overall balanced stats, aside from low magic and resistance. He could be good as a backup if fellow lance knight Leona didn't turn out favorably.
