    <br />
    Elk (エルク) is a young Wavemaster, who looks much like Tsukasa from .hack//SIGN. He follows the cat player, Mia, around all the time and is close friends with her. <br />

    Elk's PC is a young, blue-haired boy wearing dark blue robes. He almost always has a gloomy expression on his face. In terms of appearance, he is an almost identical twin of Tsukasa, the only difference being minute changes in their robes, gloves, and hat, and a change in color scheme. Tsukasa is mostly gray and brown while Elk is blue and gray. Elk's face tattoo is also slightly different. <br />
    <br />
    Elk is a rather insecure person online. He seems to have a lot of trouble trusting other players, and is always shocked when somebody is nice to him. The only person he seems to trust is Mia, who he is rarely separated from. He can be downright mean to people if he feels they are trying to draw Mia's attention away from him. <br />
    <br />
    Offline, Elk's player is Kaoru Ichinose (一ノ瀬薫), a thirteen-year-old middle school student who joined The World to make friends and attempt to change his shy and passive personality. He eventually went on to create the character Endrance. <br />
    Elk was first introduced to Kite through Mia. Intrigued by the bracelet wielded by the newbie Twin Blade, Mia took it upon herself to teach Kite some of the various uses of the bracelet, namely the power of Gate Hacking at Δ Closed Oblivious Twin Hills. Jealous of the attention Kite was getting Elk tried to convince Kite to give up his bracelet at Δ Plenteous Smiling Hypha, an offer that Kite refused. Concerned for Elk, Kite helped him patch up his relationship with Mia, forming an unsteady friendship between them. <br />
    <br />
    Complications arose when Mia suddenly lost her ability to speak properly. Figuring it was a problem with her headset, Elk was able to ignore the problem and continued adventuring as normal. Elk wanted to help Mia's speech problem and brings Kite to Λ Dolorous Evil Eyed Widow. However, Mia's condition was more then just speech difficulties. As time went on she began exhibiting strange behavior, and more disturbingly began to reveal gaps in her memory. Concerned Kite and Elk tried to help Mia, but found themselves only able to watch as she became more and more erratic. After a while, Elk found himself unable to contact Mia. Desperate, he spent hours searching The World for any trace of her to no avail, ignoring his other friends in favor of his search. At one point in his search he encountered Bear, who was surprised at his uncanny resemblance to the player Tsukasa. <br />
    <br />
    Concerned for Elk as well, Kite offered him a job as part of Helba's Anti-Wave operation. He was given part of a vaccine program designed to trap the Cursed Wave so that Kite and the rest of his party could fight it on their own terms. However, things began to spiral out of control when the Wave suddenly changed direction, moving directly towards Elk. Kite and his party raced to the bottom of the dungeon where Elk was located, only to find him with Mia at the bottom. To Elk's shock and horror, Mia revealed that she had no existence outside of the system. She was nothing more then a program inside of The World. She suddenly began to transform, revealing her true form, that of Macha the Temptress, Phase Six of the Cursed Wave. Using her powers to teleport Elk away, Macha began fighting against Kite. <br />
    <br />
    Rushing back to the dungeon, Elk arrived in time to see Kite deliver the final blow. As he watched, Macha was destroyed by Kite's Bracelet, temporarily transforming back into Mia. Though he attempted to save her, it proved futile, and he could only watch as Mia faded away in front of him. Furious, he blamed Kite for Mia's death, and ran away taking his part of the vaccine with him. It is suggested that he joins Morganna, giving her the virus Helba had created, believing that Morganna would bring Mia back to him. Upon receiving the vaccine, Morganna created a virus that allowed her to Data Drain the vaccine and spread its effects to the whole of Lios's team, causing them to immediately fall into comas. <br />
    <br />
    Despite what he had done, Elk continued to watch Kite from a distance and was present in Net Slum when it was attacked by Corbenik the Rebirth, the Eighth Phase of the Wave. He watched from a safe distance as Kite and the rest of the .hackers fought a desperate battle against the Phase. Just when it seemed that victory was at hand, Corbenik released its ultimate attack, Drain Heart which began to take out the combatants one by one. Watching as the attack flew towards Kite, Elk had a sudden change of heart. Leaping in front of Kite, he took the blast instead. His final words before falling comatose were an apology for his selfish actions. Using the opportunity Elk had given him, Kite rushed towards Corbenik in a last ditch final attack, which resulted in the destruction of the Phase, and the Cursed Wave as well. Through his efforts, Elk had managed to secure a victory over Morganna and caused the birth of Aura the Ultimate AI. <br />
    <br />
    Soon afterwards Elk and Kite both received an e-mail from Aura listing the location of Ω Hidden Darkside Holyground. They traveled together to the bottom of the dungeon where they were confronted by Macha who fought against them using a powerful Twilight Guardian. Victorious, Elk watched as Macha transformed back into Mia, reuniting him with the friend he had thought lost forever. Though she lacked any memories of Kite and everything related to the entire incident, Elk promised that they would make new memories for her together. <br />
    <br />
    Elk is still very shy and insecure online who takes a while to trust Kite. When Mia is examining the bracelet, she loses herself briefly to insanity; Elk's voice calls her out of it. Exhausted and confused, she warps out, leaving Elk and Kite staring at each other awkwardly. Kite comments to himself about the two, calling them a "strange pair." <br />
    <br />
    Later, Kite, who has just been warned by Lios about the Data Drain ability, slams his fist into the ground angrily, crushing some Aromatic Grass. This angers Elk immensely, who accuses him of trying to take Mia away from him. Suddenly, Magus appears behind the two; frightened and confused, Elk charges at the Phase, unaware that his actions could kill him. As Kite cried out for help from anyone, Lios and Balmung watch. Lios refuses to help, but Balmung sees the indifference Lios has and leaves. <br />
    <br />
    Kite calls out to Elk again in desperation, but Elk continues to try and attack the monster. Before long, Magus sets the field on fire and unleashes a Data Drain at Elk. Kite falls to the ground in tears, having seen another victim of the phases fall. However, Balmung has appeared and knocked Elk to safety. Although the worst effects of the Data Drain are avoided, the Wavemaster is only knocked unconscious. After Cubia destroys Magus, Elk awakens and is promptly scolded by Balmung for his recklessness. After he apologizes, he realizes that since the field was set afire, all of the Aromatic Grass he planted for Mia have been destroyed. Kite reaches into his bag and offers him a blade of the grass in friendship. Despite Elk's protests, he takes it, having finally made a new friend. <br />
    <br />
    Elk later wanders around Mac Anu in search of Mia, who has mysteriously disappeared. <br />
    <br />
    In Volume 2, he is still searching for Mia and wonders what he has done to make her “hate him” when he receives an email from her, instructing him to go to Sigma: Graceful Tempting Fallen Angel. Overjoyed, he sets off, unaware that the message has really been sent by Cubia. <br />
    <br />
    When he reaches the field, he finds Mia standing with her back to him. As he approaches, Mia loses control over herself, grabs him by the neck, and brutally PKs him. This presumably knocks him unconscious. Kite and Cubia travel to the field in order to destroy the sixth Phase, Macha, when they find Mia kneeling over Elk’s prostrate body. Kite, shocked, asks Mia if she did this to him as she becomes Macha the Temptress. <br />
    <br />
    When the battle nears its end, Kite has lost his strength and Cubia goes in for the killing blow when he is held back by Elk, who begs him not to kill her. He shows her the Aromatic Grass, which triggers a part of her former memories. Cubia is puzzled by this and asks Elk why he wants to save the accursed monster. Elk replies, “I don’t care what Mia is! It doesn’t matter if she’s an NPC! Mia’s my friend! Nothing matters as long as we’re together! I don’t want Mia to disappear-why can’t you understand that?” <br />
    <br />
    Elk’s tearful pleas reach Macha, who does not attack. Cubia smiles and thanks Elk for being near him-as long as Elk is nearby, Macha will not attack. Cubia destroys Mia and Elk, distraught and grieving, collapses. BlackRose enters and urges him to hang on; after Cubia turns her away, she takes Elk with her. <br />
    <br />
    Later on, Kite has fallen under Cubia’s clutches and is in a coma-like state. He dreams that his friends and allies have rejected him fully for misleading them, including a sobbing Elk. <br />
    <br />
    In the final chapter, after Corbenik has been destroyed and the World restored, Elk is shown kneeling in the field of Aromatic Grass when a reborn Mia embraces him. <br />
    Elk appeared briefly in the first volume of Another Birth. He approached Kite, BlackRose, and Natsume when they were preparing to go adventuring and dragged Kite away to go see Mia. This forced an unhappy BlackRose to entertain Natsume by herself. <br />
    <br />
    In volume 2 of Another Birth, Elk ventured with Kite and Blackrose to fight Innis at Λ Resurrecting Confused Judgment. To Blackrose's surprise, Elk didn't seem frightened when they fought Innis. He was worried about Mia at the time because she wasn't online. <br />
    <br />
    In Unison, Elk and Mia both travel to a bar located in Carmina Gadelica. There Elk is introduced to Tsukasa for the first time, and watches as he reunites with Mia (who he knew as Macha the cat). Later the pair travel to Net Slum where they join a party hosted by Helba. Elk and Mia dance with each other as fireworks light up the sky. <br />
    <br />
    Elk appears briefly in GIFT, where Mia forces him to make out with her in a field of flowers. <br />
