Eli’s behaviour can be seen as stalking, their fixation with the main character Oskar, but also their hunting behaviour

Not during the plot of the book, however it’s worth to mention that Eli was forcibly castrated and tells about that event.

ALSO Eli’s “caretaker” is a pedophile and was about to abuse a child from a trafficking , he doesn’t “go through” with it. It’s also mentioned that the “caretaker” once went to a “party” with other pedophiles where a young boy was abused by the others

Eli’s “caretaker” kills people by slitting their throats to bloodlet them to feed Eli

Main character cuts palm at a point to make a blood oath, not out of self harm though but can still be sensitive to some

Eli was born as a boy a long time ago (went by the name Elias) and had forcibly their “lower parts” removed before being turned. The act is described in the book as Eli mentally shows Oskar what happened.

Eli’s “caretaker” mainly attacks young men in their late teens (assumed not being adult yet) to feed Eli. At least one dies as a result.

Eli kills Oskar’ bullies.
