He is, indeed, prone to mental and emotional abuse. However, Elfangor is kind of my personal archetype for most things awesome, so I felt the need to defend him :) As to the nether years: he wasn't around when Ax was born, but he came to visit sometimes, they went running, and he treated Ax like an adult, which is why Ax started idolizing him. According to Samilin, Elfangor was a his captain and a war-prince (though I think KA confused herself over how Andalite ranking works)and the two were friends. In TAC, Elfangor mentioned that a z-space rift opened up between Earth and the busy centers of the galaxy, so that Earth was months instead of days away. In #33, he fights some sort of alien we don't encounter anywhere else with a figure-eight-shaped ship, crashes into it, and goes spinning through space Darth Vader-style. He angsts over Loren and Tobias a bit. And of course at some point the Ellimist accosts him to have him write that letter for DeGroot. Also, he once told Ax "it's a leader's job to be lucky". That's all that comes to mind now. Dear lord, I'm lame (because so much DID come to mind). Anyway, please, please write those stories!!!
