Sheriff Eli Thomas

Sheriff Eli Thomas is a main character on the season Blackchapel. He is the Sheriff of Blackchapel, and is directly targeted by the Savior and the Apostles.

Early Life
Eli Thomas was an alcoholic who became abusive when drunk. He killed his young son, Joshua, when the boy accidentally let a horse go. His wife, Loraine, took their daughter and escaped to the City of Mothers. While he is shown to be remorseful for his actions, he never owns up to them and downplays their severity.

Blackchapel
When a string of murders happen in Blackchapel, Eli rides to various surrounding towns to determine if they know anything, eventually building up a party to hun the killer, known as the Savior. He starts many episodes by writing to his daughter, who he refers to as 'Songbird'. It is eventually revealed that she and her mother (Eli's wife) fled him, and that he was told she died of Scarlet Fever.

Over the course of the season, Eli is shown to be confused by the attacks, which explicitly target him. He is unwilling to talk about his 'sins', and confesses only to being a mean drunk. He is positioned as the hero or good guy of the story, though admittedly a flawed one who is suspicious in nature.

After putting many people's lives at risk, it is revealed that the Savior is his daughter, Elizabeth, and she reveals the true nature of his past, as well as the fact that he knew he was being targeted for his past from the beginning.

He is shot and killed by his daughter, after she reveals to his party his true nature and they turn their backs on him.

Relationships
A laundry list of people he has wronged, disappointed, and misled, including: his wife, his daughter, his son, and practically every character of import in the season.
