Elliot's Nephew is a freelance journalist who was investigating an optical device and Mr. Leroux.
Compiled Overview[]
Background[]
Little is known about the background of Elliot's nephew. His uncle, Elliot, had been obsessed with the disappearance of his close friend, Macaulay, which he spent decades looking into and trying to get justice with little to show. During Elliot's search, it was discovered that Macaulay had sent one final letter asking for help alongside an optical device. That optical device would end up in the hands of a man named Mr. Leroux. At some point for unknown reasons, Elliot's nephew took over the search.
At some point, Elliot's nephew would go to the Het Arresthuis prison in the Netherlands to inquire about a recent prison break. By pure chance, Mr. Leroux would also be there. He attended Mr. Leroux's presentation on a new device called a slide projector. Unfortunately, Mr. Leroux would leave before Elliot's nephew would have the chance to speak to him. Despite this, Elliot's nephew was determined to speak to him the next day.
It is currently unknown what happened to him after this.
Alternate Theories and Conclusions[]
- In the letter, Alice speculates that Elliot's nephew might have sought out Mr. Leroux for personal interest in the optical device rather than to continue his uncle's work.[1]
- It is possible that Elliot's nephew might have an interest in photography itself.
