History

Origin

It was later revealed that Eli Bard was in fact a man born during the Roman Empire, and the mysterious goddess was in fact Selene who promised him her love and eternal life in exchange for every soul in Rome. Eliphas, who at that moment was not an evil man, reluctantly agreed to help Selene, but he got captured and ruined Selene's plan. She cursed Eli, granting him immortality but living a life of eternal pain. At that moment, Eli swore he would gain her goddess forgiveness and by joining the Purifiers, he tried to give their souls for her. But when his plan were ruined, he decided not only to desecrate the Apache warriors graveyard, but also to bring Caliban back to life in order to find the dead souls of mutants and offer them to Selene.

Purifiers

Bard vs X-23
Bard vs X-23
Eli Bard was the man responsible for bringing back Bastion to the Purifiers. He quickly became Matthew Risman's right hand as a counselor but both suddenly became aware of Bastion's own agenda. Risman's purposes for the Purifiers were put in check when Bastion, with the help of Magus, brought William Stryker, Cameron Hodge and Graydon Creed back to life. Risman planned to take down Bastion, using The Purifiers Choir. An army of winged solidiers, built using Angel's DNA that they got by ripping Worthington's wings. This inner struggle among the leaders of the Purifers meant also a danger for Bard's own objective.

When X-Force attacked the Purifiers Facility, the battle between Bastion and Risman had already begun and the Choir slaughtered Bastion's army. But X-Force arrival, and Wolverine's berserk attack against Bastion, opened an opportunity for Risman's retreat. While he was heading to a safe exit, he found out Eli Bard fusing himself with a spawn of Magus. At that moment, he revealed that he only objective for rebuilding the Purifiers was to use their souls for a mysterious goddess. Just when he was about to fed on Risman's soul, X-23 and Warpath arrived and confronted Bard. But Eli, now transformed in a vampire being was too much for both members of X-Force. He managed to escape, but not before swearing revenge against Warpath for confronting him.
