COMMUNITY REPORTS
The remainder of this article contains lore created collaboratively by the Blaseball community.

Social Media:

As captain of the Hades Tigers, Elip has been pushed by Fearful Symmetry (the team's general manager) to launch a social media account on Twitter to better connect with fans as the new public face of the team. It can be found at: https://twitter.com/ElipDean

Player History:

After the entirety of the extant Hades Tigers team was sucked up by the Black Hole (Black Hole) at the close of Season 24 and replaced by new faces during Fall Ball, Elip Dean found himself the last remaining Tiger among a confused cadre of new cadets.

Elip has since (with a little prodding from management) stepped up and out of the shadows to welcome them, train them up, and keep the continuity of the team!  Under Elip's weird, quiet, and seemingly incompetent leadership the New Tigers are taking the field and quickly proving themselves... the worst in their Season 1 bracket. New stripes, one Tiger!

Personal Life:

An excerpt from his diary recovered by the Blaseball News Network (and not at all stolen from under his pillow) describes Elip as being "completely overwhelmed" and experiencing "imposter syndrome" while performing his duties as the current public face of the Tigers.
