Donald Connolly

"Donald Connolly", real name unknown, was arguably the most prolific of the Eleameno survivors. Supposedly born January 9, 1944 in Dresden, Germany. He mad moved to Edmonton, Alberta with his parents in the fall of 1944. He grew up with a quiet and uneventful childhood until his 14 birthday when he caught his neighbor beating his dog. He shot his neighbor with a pellet gun, and they lost their eye. Donald was sent to a youth correctional facility, where he spend the rest of his childhood. When he was 18 he had been sent to prison due to repeated attacks towards staff and other delinquents.

He had escaped prison in 1979, just after receiving yet another 10 years for murdering another inmate. During his run into the woods he had fallen victim to a Eleameno portal, and there he spend the next 20 years fighting off the creatures that hunted him. He claimed to have drank the blood of the wounded Scout and fed on the carcasses of Hellards. All of this is according to his book, The Finding, which depicts his time in Eleameno with greater detail.

In 1999 Donald had escaped Eleameno, coming back into a world 20 years later. He changed his name to Donald Connolly and began working on his book. His book gained quick traction in the paranormal community, and his attention to detail and consistency started to make a lot of people believe that the rambled writings of James Orwell and Arthur Rory were more legitimate.

Donald took his own life in March 2000, after jumping off his boat and swimming into the ocean. After death he has been hailed by Eleameno theorists to be the "Bad Ass" of the survivors, usually comparing him to the likes of Ash from The Evil Dead, especially due to his stories of wrestling with The Scout and killing countless amounts of Hellards.

Skeptics believe his stories to be too far fetched, leading them to believe that he, like James Orwell, may have been using horror stories as a platform for their own creative endeavors. Some even claiming that they were the real Donald Connolly, and the man writing The Finding was an impostor. These statements have not been confirmed nor denied.
