Trivia

◆Eli has a lazy eye, just like Vincente de Santa, although Eli's is more noticeable.
◆Eli seems to have a tight bond with his horse, Acorn, he is the only Armadillo law man to mention his horse by name.
◆He and the other deputy, Jonah, are very contrasting in appearance and personality. Eli wears light clothes, while Jonah wears dark clothes. Jonah has a lot of hair while Eli has almost none, Jonah is skinny while Eli is overweight. Personality-wise, Eli appears to be hard-working and friendly, while Jonah is lazy and rude.
◆During cutscenes, Eli walks with a limp, but in gameplay he walks normally, with the default action of NPCs.
◆Eli seems to be very gullible. At the start of the mission "Spare the Rod, Spoil the Bandit" when everyone leaves the Sheriff's office, Eli stays behind and takes a sip of Nigel West Dickens' Elixir. He then defends West Dickens and his products during the ride that begins the mission.
◆Despite calling Nigel West Dickens by his name in earlier missions, Eli repeatedly referes to him merely as "the Snake oil guy" in "The Assault on Fort Mercer". This may be due to Marshal Johnson's ridicule when Eli tried defending West Dickens' tonics to him earlier.
◆During Undead Nightmare, hogtying and picking him up may result in a glitch occurring, which does not allow the player to put him down.
◆Despite being overweight, in Undead Nightmare, he has the behavior of a fresh undead, not a bruiser.
