Elias
About the Job
Hyper-driven and hyper-desperate. Awful yet hilarious. Weirdly vulnerable, somehow charismatic. Crippled by an ego he would swear he doesn’t have, Elias is also heir to the Maxwell mining fortune. His family doesn’t give him the respect he knows he deserves, but that’s okay—because Elias Maxwell respects himself. Coming off a costly Colorado operation that collapsed spectacularly, he’s been shipped off to Siberia, a.k.a. Harlan, Kentucky, to rehab his image and maybe, just maybe, earn a seat back at the table. Elias is bitter, but he’s not blind: Kentucky is his last chance. And he’s going to fight like hell to make it count.
