Ellia is a Cambodian slave girl and court dancer for Suryavarman II. Her chapter occurs in 1150 AD. She yearns for adventure after reading passages from the Tome. After finding herself locked in a temple (Angkor Thom) imprisoning the former Khmer fertility god, she is chosen to bear Mantorok's essence. Pious kills her for her resistance to him shortly afterwards, but she remains animate because the essence is inside her body. Eight hundred years later, she gives it to Edwin Lindsey and is finally released. She later appears in spectral form in 2000 AD to aid Alex in the final battle.
