Tabbris Elea makes his first appearance in chapter 3, "Love Lost," which reveals the origin story of the Elea family.
Tabbris is an Elea extraterrestrial and a part of the Elea nation. He conducted a space invasion that resulted in the abduction of many humans — including Ozelia, who was chosen from among the captives to become queen of the Elea nation.
From the beginning of Angel's life, Tabbris was grooming his young hybrid son — part human, part extraterrestrial — to become the leader of his kingdom. However, Angel was eventually banished from Planet Europa and the Elea nation.
Tabbris's complex relationship with Angel — equal parts grooming for leadership and the resentment of a father whose son defies his path — shapes much of Angel's psychology and motivation throughout the story.
Grooming an Heir: Tabbris's vision for Angel as the future king of the Elea nation is never fully realized — Angel's banishment and subsequent relationship with Adakis Varyn sets the young hybrid on a path entirely his own.
