Elias was sent to a boy’s home where he met Anthony Marconi, the two became instant friends. And as time went on partners, and then lovers.
Carl never forgot his mother, and even though he had gone straight he plotted. It wasn’t until his number came up, and he ended up saved by John Reese, that his true identity and plans were revealed.
Carl was determined to destroy the Russian Mob and take back Brighton Beach as his own territory. Over the next year, he kept running into John Reese. He grew to admire the man, and his own persistence to help those in need.

Elias was determined to figure out how Reese made that jump. Anthony brought him the information about Vampires, and in time he was introduced to Lucien La Croix.
