HISTORY: Elias was born and raised in Chicago, Illinois. He grew up in a relatively small family of 3. His mother worked as a nurse and his father was a mechanic who owned his own garage. The financial situation in the household was tough and the two parents struggled in keeping the family afloat. Despite the financial difficulty the West household were always a close-knit family. Michael and Amy fought hard to maintain this and had a strict set of rules when it came to the importance of family. Elias, was the youngest in his family and had an older brother whom he was really close to. With his older sibling, Carter they were considered an inseparable and miscreant duo. Carter was only two years older than Elias and they were often mistaken to be twins because of their strong bond and their almost identical looks when they were young. The two got up to all sorts of mischief as children and received a fair amount of beatings from their loving parents. To keep their noses out of trouble Michael, their dad would often bring the boys down to the garage and let them watch as he operated on his clients cars. The boys soon began helping their father out around the garage and their ill behavior slowed down significantly. Though, despite their naughty behavior the boys always did well for themselves in school, especially Carter who excelled academically. Over time Elias developed a love for cars and engines. He became so indulged in the concept of automobiles that he learned everything he could from his father. His love for the subject was what drove Elias. He began driving at a young age and spent most of his free time, participating in all forms of racing around the States with his brother. At the age of 18 Elias had generated a buzz in his racing career. With multiple wins in junior competitions, he was well on his way of becoming a professional racer. It was at the age of 21 that he was offered a contract from a team in the Formula 1. Without hesitation, Elias accepted and truly began his career. He won gold for the first few races of his career and was doing well for himself in his first year of F1. His second year as well as his third year in the sport were going exceptionally well. He had grown as a professional racer and was working diligently for his team with a series of wins under his belt. Unfortunately his dream ended during the Monaco Grand Prix. Elias' car experienced a mechanical error and he lost control of his car. Upon losing control, Elias crashed into a barricade and was badly injured. The accident put him into a coma for several months and in that period, Elias was dropped by his team and lost sponsorship from most his sponsors. Now having woken up, Elias has dropped the sport as a whole. What lies ahead for him is unknown. Even he is undecided if he'll ever return.
