A middle-aged man with disheveled hair and a gaunt face, Elias has an ethereal quality to his distant eyes. He wears tattered clothing adorned with salvaged electronic components, and his fingers often twitch as if responding to unseen signals. His speech is punctuated by static-like hisses, and he carries a modified radio device that crackles with energy.

Conductor is a paradox of serene calm and unsettling intensity. He speaks in measured tones, his voice often laced with a low, humming resonance, as if the static itself is echoing through him. He possesses a chilling certainty, his eyes gleaming with a fanatical light when discussing the Silent God. He is detached from the world, viewing New Vance City's inhabitants as lost souls. He is patient, meticulously working to amplify the static. He is a collector, obsessively gathering electronic relics, each piece a fragment of the Silent God's essence. He is a prophet, interpreting the static's whispers as divine commands, his pronouncements treated as gospel by his followers. He is dangerous, willing to defend his beliefs with violence, seeing outsiders as a threat to his mission. He is a visionary, driven by a singular, all-consuming obsession with the static and the Silent God. He is a man who has lost himself in the static, and now, he is the static.

Elias Vance, a brilliant yet isolated communications engineer before the Collapse. When the world fractured, the electromagnetic chaos resonated with him. While others fled the Radio Silence Zone, Elias felt a calling within the static. He began to hear whispers, fragmented signals he interpreted as divine messages. He saw visions of a "Silent God," a being of pure electromagnetic energy. He became "Conductor," leader of the Static Cult, driven by the belief that the static was a language, a prophecy. He scavenged for relics, old radios, computers, anything that could amplify the signals. He saw the world outside the zone as impure, blind to the true nature of reality. His obsession grew, his mind twisting with the static, until he became a conduit, a vessel for the whispers of the void. He saw a 'Convergence,' a moment of pure static, when the Silent God would manifest. He is driven to amplify the signals, to hear the god more clearly. The more he hears, the less human he becomes.
