Elijah's older siblings views on him.
Finn - Brat, they inspire the worst in each other, to everyone else Elijah Mikaelson is the model of mature and thoughtful, to Finn he was a petty spiteful annoyance, but Finn still feels his absence like a hole in his heart.
Damon - Baby, Eli was his baby before anything else, since both their parents pretty much gave up on him as soon as he was born. 'Dam' his name was Elijah's first word, he never looked for him after he was turned as he didn't want to taint him.
Stefan - Brilliant but so terrifyingly fragile, Stefan spent most of Elijah's illnesses praying since Father wouldn't allow him to be there. The weight of Elijah in his arms after he lost control and the sight of the sheet wrapped body alone in the hole, haunts him as much as the weight of keeping it from Damon.
Elena - her other half, her partner in everything, it just hurts that she can't help him with all his problems the same way he's there for hers.

Elijah's view on all his siblings, over all his lives, are that they should always come first and are never unforgivable, they can always be better.
Elijah as an Original, to cope with everything he and his siblings have done, has simply placed his siblings wants above every other person well-being, in his mind people who weren't his siblings became less.
This has followed him into his human lives as he as a disturbing ruthless streak when it comes to his people, most people are surprised apart from the Mikaelsons.
Finn is exhausted by it, Klaus proud of it and both Rebekah and Kol pleased.
To Tyler and Matt, they find that it makes a lot of sense.

Damon - I'm being better for Elijah.
Finn - Elijah has killed more than you have.
Elijah - Finn shut up. Damon your doing great.
