"He’s the tech chimp and will be executing most of the hacking protocols. I want him to check their data before you blow it. He will be second in command when I’m not around, and you will not act until he gives the signal." - Brock West

Appearance[]

Eli Winde has brown hair, long arms, and stands bipedal, occasionally using his arms for balance. Both his thumbs and big toes are opposable, allowing a precise grip.

Background[]

Winde is Manticore's technical expert. He is knowledgeable in all forms of gadgetry, networks, and virtual computing. He has passed many qualifications and received several Alliance medals for his service in the cyber field. He is also an expert hacker.

Volume 2: Horus[]

Winde is part of the underground team during Volume 2. After the team gets past the underground wall, Winde quickly goes to work on disabling the security systems and drones to help the surface team. It is also during this time Winde extracts Lionel Changer's data files and schematics, fulfilling the second objective of Operation Horus.

When the full strike attacks, the group splits up. Winde is the only member of the underground team that does not encounter any wolves or hybrids.

Winde is also present with Brock West during the briefing with General Rox.

Volume 3: Alphas[]

Eli Winde has been working with Mark Allen on The Alphas. Along with Allen, he is credited as one of the leaders who have successfully implemented Lionel Changer’s implant for Alliance use. He appears briefly, serving as an advisor to Allen when General Rox is present.

Halfkinds Volume 4: North[]

Since the events of Volume 3, Winde had risen to the ranks of Rox’s most trusted expert on implant technology. He, Rox, and Allen create the Implant Program, and Winde is designated the head of development. After years of research, testing, and abductions of test subjects, implant technology booms.

Sometime before Volume 4, Winde retires and the reigns of his work over to Mark Allen. During the events of Volume 4, he is confronted in his home by The Collector on the GTS, where, after a tough battle, he is forced to reveal that Mark Allen holds the information. Winde is then killed by The Collector.
