ELIAS WARD

Lead Voice Actor — Male, 30s

Elias Ward is the primary protagonist of Fallout: Dead Signal. He is a former caravan guard who now operates Haven's radio station.

Elias is practical, observant, cautious, and somewhat emotionally guarded. He's not a stereotypical action hero. He's someone who has survived the wasteland by knowing when to fight, when to run, and when to keep his mouth shut.

His dry sense of humor occasionally comes through, particularly when dealing with Mara, but the character becomes increasingly serious as the mystery surrounding the DEAD SIGNAL transmission develops.

Voice direction: Natural, grounded, and believable. A slightly rough or weathered voice would work well. Please avoid an exaggerated "tough guy" performance.

This is a major recurring/lead role expected to appear throughout Season One. The actor selected should be comfortable with dramatic scenes, emotional performances, and ongoing participation in future episodes.

Fallout knowledge is welcome but not required. We're looking for a strong character performance above all else.
