Elijah Mikaelson is first and foremost, a family man, he loves them deeply and is intensely loyal to them. This family now includes Hayley, a woman he loves more than he has loved any other, one he has let close and for the first time sees a possibility of a real future with. Elijah is definitely the older brother, there is no denying that as he is often the one that stands between Rebekah and Klaus or Klaus and the rest of the world.

He will stand up to Niklaus when it is necessary and when he feels that the situation will go too far if done Klaus' way, though, there are a lot of times where he defers to his younger brother. As Elijah feels that he failed Niklaus when Mikael beat him by not protecting him the older Mikaelson spends his eternity trying to make that very act up to his brother. Even damaging himself in the process. He is just as loyal to Rebekah however, as he sees her as more stable than Niklaus thus much of his focus goes into his brother, leading him to fail his sister. I believe at his canon point Elijah has come to see this with Rebekah's departure from the family, it is something he would fix if she were near and he could.

Elijah keeps a cool head, blunt in his speech in many ways, yet always polite, even when threatening someone. Above all else, Elijah is a man of his word, be careful what those words are though, because he sticks to them, to the letter. It is why he is always careful in what he says when he offers his word. So as to not break it. Calm, collected, does not mean he can not be violent.

Elijah is capable of great violence, preferring to rip his opponents hearts out and doing so while trying not to dirty his suit at least. It takes a large provocation to send Elijah into such action however, he prefers words to fists. Hurt his family, come after them in any way however and Elijah will make certain that it is by his hand which you pay. Unless of course his word has already been given not to hurt you, that is the only thing which can save a person in such a time. Because, he will not break it, even if he aches to do so.

Elijah loves fiercely, there is no half way with him. He may try to hold back but in the end, if his heart is in it, it is fully in with no way of taking it back. The same can be said for his anger, when ignited it is a cold fire, but a raging one all the same. He may still appear calm, short of the dark look in his eyes, his actions remain calculated but they are very much to the point.

To make it sort of short and sweet here, Elijah Mikaelson is a stoic man, with an undying loyalty to his family. A being of deep emotion, he is honorable and will never break his word (outside of dire, very dire circumstances). He is what one would term the voice of reason in his family and the caretaker as he has devoted his life to doing so. Well spoken, with a keen intelligence. He does have a surprising sense of humor even if he does not show it all the time, his amusement is like everything else about him. Simple and quiet. Though, no pushover, he will "knuckle up" when it is called for and does not balk at such things. However, he will try for another route if he can.
