Elless was a male Phantasian in the 24th century. Circa 2366, when entrepreneur Rod Portlyn purchased the planet Phantas 61 and its mining industry, Elless was hired on as his right-hand man for operations there. During his employment, Elless also became aware of Portlyn's plans to infect the soil of the farming planet Vemlar, so he could purchase the property cheaply and build an extensive industrial research complex there. Elless was able to steal documentation of Portlyn's unethical plans, but unfortunately was unable to decrypt them.
