In the story
Common Resolve portrays Eli as a resourceful scout who slips through enemy lines carrying maps and notes. Rachel is named as his wife and fellow patriot. The Flame describes him as Elias’s father and the keeper of the family land. The land grant and dialogue attributed to Washington belong to the fictional narrative, not verified historical records.
