As I was reading this next chapter, i realized that Nector's brother, Eli Kashpaw's name has a very religious connotation to it. Elijah the prophet appears in every major book, based of the Old Testament. "According to the Books of Kings, Elijah raised the dead, brought fire down from the sky, and ascended into heaven in a whirlwind.. Elijah's return is prophesied "before the coming of the great and terrible day of the Lord,"[4] making him a harbinger of the Messiah and the eschaton in various faiths that revere the Hebrew Bible."
Side note: In the movie "The Book of Eli," Eliyahu HaNavi, or Elijah the Prophet, is a very prominent theme.
