Elias Bogan is a fictional mutant character appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. He first appeared in X-Treme X-Men #21 (July 2001), and was created by Chris Claremont.
Elias Bogan is a wealthy, reclusive mutant who is rumored to be the inspiration for the Hellfire Club. After losing a bet to Sebastian Shaw and his advisor Tessa, Bogan harbors a grudge against the latter and attempts to exact revenge years later by capturing her and branding her face with blood-like tattoos.[1] However, Tessa is rescued by Storm of the X-Men.
In subsequent appearances, Bogan battles the X-Men, briefly enslaves Rachel Summers, and gains access to Cerebra.[2] He also establishes a secret base in the catacombs under the X-Corporation, where he once had a branch of the Hellfire Club.
Elias Bogan possesses mutant telepathic abilities that enable him to communicate with and possess others, causing them to bleed from their eyes.
