Elkan

Elkan is a resident of Soleanna in Sonic the Hedgehog (2006). He is an employee of a company known as Rimlight, which specializes in energy. He has been researching light energy, and is interested in collecting more Light Cores in order to make progress in Rimlight's research, as Light Cores are mysterious forms of light energy which require more study.

In Shadow's story, Elkan gives Shadow his fourth Town Mission. Iblis' minions have appeared in Soleanna Forest, and Elkan knows that these creatures have Light Cores in their possession. He asks Shadow to defeat these creatures and obtain their Light Cores, as they would benefit Rimlight's research.
