"Everything is a game. A vile, evil, delightful game."

Eliv Thade is a Ghost Kacheek introduced on (need date) 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.

Overview

While alive, Eliv Thade was a proffesional 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.

Solving the puzzle turned into an obssesion, and years later Eliv Thade was driven insane. His servants left the castle 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 vengance 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.

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' editorial that he had an accident with scissors when he was young.

Etymology

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".

Trivia

As of September 2007, Eliv Thade is featured in 21 different items. He is also featured in a background image, a shop blog, and an avatar.
Eliv Thade's game spawned four Hidden Tower items: Grimoire Of Thade, Amulet of Thilg, Sword of Skardsen, and Shield of Pion Troect.
On the January 28, 2004, an Eliv Thade day occured for the New Features the day before Kacheek Day.
Eliv was Added to the Gallery of Evil on August 28, 2007.

-Writing enigmas 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 he solved all - except when one of his servants brought him the longest and most complex puzzle Eliv had ever worked on.
-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.

-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.

-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]].
