Elder

Elder is the main deuteragonist of the Across the Universe series. Elder was initially the future leader of Godspeed and was training to become an Eldest and was under the care of Eldest before his death, after which he became the ship’s Eldest despite being the youngest person aboard. Elder resides in the Keeper Level.

Appearance
Elder has dark, olive skin, dark black hair and eyes and a muscular build. Elder is a copy of every Elder before him, so his features are the same as those of Orion and Eldest’s. According to Amy Martin, Elder has a very handsome face.

Just like the feeders, Elder wears a pale taupe tunic and chocolate brown trousers.

Personality
Elder is shown to be a curious and determined boy who often gets emotional over small problems. At times he easily loses his temper, especially around Eldest, but always apologises shortly after.

Despite always pondering to himself and asking himself if he can be a great leader of Godspeed, Elder is shown to be surprisingly reckless, usually not thinking ahead about the consequence of his actions, which was shown when he accidentally threw the whole Keeper Level into lockdown or when he unplugged Amy.

Even though he doesn’t realise it, Eldest is a strong, intelligent, determined leader, even choosing to rule Godspeed without any Phydus. In other words, Elder is the complete opposite of his mentor Eldest.
