* After surviving the apocalypse and being blinded, [[Film/TheEqualizer Robert McCall]] wandered for a time until God spoke to him and gave him his divine mission. After finding the Braille Bible, [=McCall=] changed his identity and took on a more Biblical name to reflect his new purpose and mission, hence why Eli is such an adept hand-to-hand combatant. Unfortunately, the loss of his sight and simple pragmatism in light of TheApocalypse meant that he couldn’t stick to his DoesNotLikeGuns rule.

* Instead of trying to genocide everyone in the wasteland, they're simply trying to preserve what they can find until they can make ground and begin teaching the wastelanders. Note that they look cleaner and seem more official than any normal wastelander (note the man who first points his rifle at Eli and Solara and the commands he shouts, and the other guards' uniforms).
