Origin

Ellison is the fourth child in a family of five. He has three older sisters—Azimov, Bradbury, and Clarke—as well as a younger brother, 15-year-old Gibson. He works for a podcast company and his closest friend is Fausta. While they are not officially in a relationship, they share occasional moments of intimacy.

Character Evolution

After the Undernet leak, Gibson was infected by the virus and went on a cold-blooded killing spree, murdering nearly 60 people before being arrested. When Ellison went to the police station to see him, he encountered PH34R, who had just slaughtered all the officers present. She then thanked Gibson for his work before killing him in front of Ellison. Before leaving, she extended an invitation for Ellison to join them, telling him he could find them online.

Later, while Ellison was being interrogated by FBI special agents Nicky Gallo and Siobhan Silk about what he had witnessed in the prison, attorney Sydney Brant—hired by Gabriel Winter—interrupted the session and demanded that the questioning be postponed. She then took Ellison with her and placed him in a car that would take him to Gabriel Winter, who was just leaving a police station. As they drove away, Gabriel activated a detonator, blowing up the station to erase all evidence related to Gibson Lane. He then subdued Ellison using chloroform.

Gabriel transported Ellison to the hotel he had rented as their headquarters. At the same time, Darren and Amanda arrived, bringing Fausta, who was in a trance-like state due to her exposure to the Undernet. Ellison was then interrogated and threatened with torture by Liam, who needed to confirm that he wasn’t under the Undernet’s influence. They also wanted to extract any information he had—what he saw, what he knew about Gibson’s connections. Once they were certain Ellison was unaffected, Ellison witnessed Fausta’s rehabilitation session. Thanks to Gabriel’s team, she was brought back to her senses.

As Gabriel explained the situation to Ellison and Fausta, PH34R suddenly entered the room. To his shock, Ellison learned that PH34R, his brother killer, was Gabriel’s sister Samara Winter. At Gabriel’s request, Ellison and Fausta left the room, allowing him to speak privately with Samara.

Shortly after, they left the hotel, using Gabriel’s car to get away. Now, Ellison is determined to find one of his sisters, hoping she might be able to help them as the crisis sweeping the country worsens.
