BECAUSE IT'S HIS SABRA NAME AND WHAT I'VE CALLED HIM FOR LIKE A YEAR
Eli, short for Helio Phobia, who normally goes by Hel, was a young vampire when his really crazy high charm ability, which was so strong that he could just completely and utterly make people love him to the point where they would work tirelessly to do ANYTHING, was used by an organization he joined with the intent of making vampires socially equal to humans (who at the time largely didn't even believe vampires existed). It worked, and as a result, about 70% of humanity was wiped out, either dead or become vampires. Eli was kind of understandably traumatized by the aftermath, that he manipulated someone into doing this, and for the next 250ish years was pretty much incapable of expressing any real desires of his own, because his natural charisma/an offshoot of his crazy mind manipulation skills, means people tend to fall in love with him. Soo while he unconditionally accepts their love (and loves them in turn) he sort of avoids ever saying or doing anything that would lead to them doing things FOR him.
However, 250ish years from that time he sort of helped commit genocide, Eli appears to be emotionally recovered and overall competent, kind of free spirited and unreliable in the sense that he won't push his way into anyone's life, but is charming and poly and highly sexual so that a lot of women and men tend to take him up on his flirtatious side, usually not for very long. He heads a rather large commune of about six other people (at the moment) and has for the last 100+ years pretty much ALWAYS had people (Vampires and humans alike) living with him for various periods of time. Sometimes as lovers, sometimes as friends, sometimes as temporary adoption measures.
Overally he is a nice, sexual, sexy guy with a strong moral code and a lot of awareness of the effect he has on others, a thing he tries to limit overall. But his paranoia over WHY people love him and just how far they will go for him without perhaps truly meaning it leads to him being rather aloof, and at times utterly helpless to stop those around him from making bad choices.
