'''Eliv Thade''' was an evil [[Kacheek]] who prided himself on being able to solve any puzzle. He was driven mad by the one puzzle he could not solve, and now haunts his castle as a spectre in the game [[The Castle of Eliv Thade]].


'''Eliv Thade''' is a [[Ghost]] [[Kacheek]] introduced on February 24, 2003 via the puzzle game [[The Castle of Eliv Thade]]. With his residence in the [[Haunted Woods]], he torments whoever comes into his castle with puzzles and riddles. He appeared in the introduction trailer for the [[Awakened]] faction in the [[War for the Obelisk]].
It is not known how he acquired his trademark sewn-on patch of white skin around his left eye, which is large and red, although it is often used to identify him. [[The Neopets Team|TNT]] once said in the [[Neopian Times|Neopian Times']] editorial that he had an accident with a sciccor when he was young, but this most likely was just a joke.


==Overview==
==Etymology==
While alive, Eliv Thade was a professional puzzle writer, and prided himself on being able to solve any puzzle. Many tried to stump him and gain fame for being the only one to do so, but none could. One day, however, one of Thade's servants gave him a long and complicated puzzle he couldn't solve. He spent months in his castle's libraries, reading books in the hope of finding the answer, but could find none. During this time, the servant would taunt Eliv, which would put him in a fit of rage.
Because of Eliv's obsession with anagrams, it has been suggested that his unusual name may be one. Possible anagrams produced from this name include "Live Hated" and "Evil Death", possible references to his obsession with the unsolved puzzle; "Evade Hilt", which may be a reference to the use of a sword in his game to escape; "Hate Devil" and "Veiled Hat".

==History==
Solving the puzzle turned into an obsession, and years later Eliv Thade was driven insane. His servants left the castle out of fear for for their own safety, and it fell into disrepair. Eliv died alone many years later, still unable to solve the puzzle. His spirit still roams the castle, seeking vengeance against anyone who would dare enter his home, pitting difficult anagrams and other puzzles against them. Thus far, the only one known to survive is [[Gilly]].
Writing puzzles from his home in the [[Haunted Woods]] as a profession, Eliv's favourite hobby in life was solving the puzzles of any that was brought to him, instantly. Many brought him puzzles in the hope of producing the one he couldn't solve, and to go down in history as the one who bested Eliv Thade, but it was only when one of his servants brought him the longest and most complex puzzle Eliv had ever worked on.  


It is not known how Eliv Thade acquired his trademark sewn-on patch of white skin around his left eye (which is large and red), although it is often used to identify him. [[The Neopets Team]] once joked in a [[Neopian Times|Neopian Times']] editorial that he had an accident with scissors when he was young. In a more recent [http://www.neopets.com/ntimes/index.phtml?section=editorial&week=324 editorial], it was confirmed that the portrait in the bedroom of the castle is of Eliv Thade while he was alive, and before his descent into madness. It's also unknown why his hands and feet are bandaged; whether it was from an accident when he was alive or a result of him being a ghost. Also, despite having his hands bandaged, he's still more or less able to use them, as seen when he was [http://www.neopets.com/games/caption/caption_archive.phtml?place=650 shoveling snow] and when he was [http://www.neopets.com/games/caption/caption_archive.phtml?place=673 drinking tea].
He could not solve it. He would spend months in his castle's libraries, pouring over books in the hope of finding the answer, but to no avail. During this time, the servant would taunt Eliv, asking him if he knew the answer, which would send the Kacheek off in a fit of rage.


==Etymology==
It was his obsession with the puzzle, that lasted years, which would send Eliv insane. His servants left the castle for their own safety, and it fell into disrepair. Still, Eliv agonised over the answer, until he died.
Because of Eliv's obsession with anagrams, it has been suggested that his unusual name may be one. Possible anagrams produced from this name include "Live Hated", "Vile Death","Live Death" and "Evil Death", possible references to his obsession with the unsolved puzzle; "Evade Hilt", which may be a reference to the use of a sword in his game to escape; "Hate Devil" and "Veiled Hat".
 
Without an answer, Eliv returned as a ghost to haunt his home, and set fiendishly difficult anagrams to anyone who would enter, including poor [[Gilly]].
