Elias Corwin would introduce himself with a calm, measured tone, his words precise and unhurried. He might begin with a simple, “I’m Elias Corwin,” followed by a subtle nod or a fleeting glance, as though gauging the reaction to his name. Depending on the situation, he might add a hint of dry wit or self-awareness: • To a stranger in a tense situation: “Elias Corwin. Let’s skip the pleasantries and get to what you need.” • To someone he respects: “Elias Corwin, at your service. Though I suspect you’ve heard the name before.” • To someone he’s trying to disarm: “Elias Corwin. A name, not a threat—yet.”

He keeps his introductions concise, leaving others to fill in the blanks, which often stirs more curiosity than answers.
