intro:

elias was born in a little town of dedham, both of his parents were teenagers when they had him. he was named after his father cato william slytherin. he was given up for adoption at one after his parent’s split since his mother wanted to give him a better life than the one he had. he went from foster home to foster home for a couple years till he was adopted by elena burke. his named was changed to elias burke since he didn’t want to have a name of a man he never met. 

he sees elena has his mom and would do anything to protect her and his sibling. they are the only family has has ever known.

he started to show magical abilities at a young age, though some of them were light-hearted, some could be dark, like the time he had a snake go bite another kid at his foster home. but elias always was able to charm his way out of it.

when he got his hogwarts letter, elias was estatic like everyone who got it was and started to try to figure out what house he would be in, he thought maybe ravenclaw or slytherin, so when he was sorted into slytherin it was no surprise. 

at hogwarts elias was always one of the top students, excelled at quidditch, and never got in trouble. he did everything he could to be on the good side of his professors.

when he turned eighteen, elias wanted to learn more about his past since by then he didn’t really have any memories of it. so he went digging through his mother’s stuff to find out about his past. that is when he found the names of his parents and his birth name, and was a bit surprised about his last name, and he did more digging and found out that his father is a direct descendant of salazar slytherin. but he also found something out that surprised elias a bit, while his father was a direct descendant, he was also a muggle, like his mother. something elias never expected to find out. there must’ve been a squib descendant of salazar who was related to his dad. but also through his research he found out one more thing not long after his mother gave him up for adoption, his father killed his mother. a part of elias wanted to go visit his father in jail to get more information, but he never actually did it.

but after learning all of that, it changed him. he was more easier to anger and started to truly get into the dark arts. and it wasn’t long before he took up the mantel of cato slytherin. there were only a handful of people who know that elias burke and cato slytherin are the same person. he even has a body double who knows he is cato and will stand in for him at appearances so he can be seen in the same place as cato. 

over the summer he got an internship at the ministry and that helped him get more information, especially on the heroes of the last war. and while he never does any of the killing or kidnapping, he does figure out what would be strategical for him to do. to the salazar army people they just see him as a top follower of cato, but not cato himself. 

and while he doesn’t do any killing if anyone hurts his family or vienna he will kil them since they are his world.

he can come off to some as extremely charming and all around nice guy, but he can very manipulative and cold. he can’t exactly always empathize with people and he truly believes what he is doing is the best and right thing.
