Elliot Clayton

Seriously? That's your password? How basic.

Elliot Clayton is the Tech Expert of the Bureau.

Profile
Hailing from Cheltenham, England, Elliot is a 17-year-old tech expert who worked as a hacker prior to his tenure to the Bureau. He has messy black hair with strips of purple at the front. He also has piercings on his ear and chin. He wears a gothic-themed t-shirt and jacket. Besides that, he is also wearing a spiked choker, a necklace with three beads, and earphones around his neck. He also has a dark sense of humor and is known to be analytical and immature.

Murder's Cheap
During Demetrios Metaxas's murder investigation, Elliot was given a tablet to analyze. He used it to access the Greek Stock Exchange and invested Jack Archer and the player's pays in an electronic coin, which was easy to achieve in huge amounts since Demetrios's intervention in the economy made it cheap. Elliot was expecting the market to normalize when Demetrios's killer is arrested, making the electronic coin more valuable, but only drove Jack almost insane. After the killer was arrested, Elliot told Jack and the player the market finally normalized, as he predicted, and gave them a now-increased salary, thanks to his risky investment.

Analyses
As the Tech Expert of the the Bureau, Elliot has the responsibility of taking care of all the necessary digital/technical analyses, and to inform the team of such results after a certain amount of time or a speed-up process using Criminal Case Cash. His task-wait rates will vary depending on the difficulty of the task, but they all cost 1 Criminal Case Cash per 30 minutes.
