\"Elias\" all on its own at the beginning is a sentence fragment, \"than it already is\" is Word Cruft, there\'s a missing comma in the second sentence, the apostrophe in \"highlight\'s\" is wrong, and the entry needs to end with a punctuation mark.


* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O_3hLJ_rd3E "Elias"]], what makes more awesome than it already is is how well it still fits him throughout his development. In the beginning it gives an air of mystery to the man behind the name. When his motives are revealed, it highlight's his quest for revenge well, fading slowly until returning loud and bombastic, like the man himself. After all is said and done, it adopts a tone that speaks very much to Elias' new power and control over New York. Truly a theme worthy of the Evolution of Organized Crime
