Background
Ellis is a cold, calm, and calculating person, but he wasn’t always like that. He used to be the leader of a small band of delinquents that would wreak havoc across the city. His personality back then was sly and cunning with a silver tongue. His parents, worried for his future, enrolled him in a private academy that was gifted in rehabilitating rebels. The school has been under a lot of scrutiny for shady practices in the past but their results are hard to dismiss. Any student enrolled comes out a perfect member of society.

Ellis soon became the school's star student. His strong mind allowed him to easily outdo his classmates. However, one thing he excelled at was chess. This school was also famous for integrating chess into their curriculum and used it as one of the main ways to change the delinquent students.

Soon Ellis could beat anyone he played against and has gone undefeated for over a year. He has gained a reputation as someone who thinks with pure logic and no empathy. People who play against him say it’s almost as if he has lost everything that makes someone human.
