Appearance[]

History[]
Elroy has a 34-year-old son in South Africa, and he later found out from his son's wife that his son got cancer.
Bloodsport Fairy tale[]
He was hired by Balalaika to eliminate Gretel, who escaped Roanapur while her brother Hänsel had already been killed by Hotel Moscow. At the time, Elroy planned on retiring from his work of giving fugitives safe exit from whatever situation they were in, especially since Balalaika's pay ensured his retirement. When Dutch was unable to drop off Gretel at her initial desired drop-off point due to the Vietnamese Navy blocking his path, he decided to visit Elroy in Indonesia to help her escape. He was not aware of Balalaika's payment to Elroy that convinced him to murder the child instead of abetting her escape.
When Dutch arrived to the port, Elroy greeted him while Gretel stepped off the Black Lagoon. As Rock bid goodbye to the child, the old man immediately shot the girl in the back of the head, killing her. Apologizing to Dutch, Elroy explained his circumstances as well as Balalaika's convincing pay to him, walking away and gloomily remarking that he could not believe that his son had cancer at such a young age.[1]
