Hank (played by David Hewlett) is a protagonist in Elevated.
Hank is a security guard who reaches the elevator covered in blood after claiming that an alien-like creature is killing people. He overrides the controls with his security card, uses a knife to defend himself, and repeatedly tries to keep Ellen and Ben inside. After Ben dies, Hank struggles with Ellen over the card and is fatally stabbed by her. Ellen (played by Vickie Papavs) appears in Elevated.
Ellen is a workplace employee who becomes trapped in the elevator with Hank and Ben. She initially helps Hank enter, attempts to call for assistance, and fights over control of the elevator. After Ben's death, she blames Hank, stabs him repeatedly, and reaches the parking garage, where her malevolent grin suggests a dangerous change in her behavior. Ben (played by Bruce McFee) appears in Elevated.
Ben is a burly workman who boards the elevator below Ellen's workplace. He doubts Hank's story, tries to operate the elevator, restrains Hank, and attempts to escape with Ellen through the stairs. When Ellen returns to the elevator, Ben is left outside; his mutilated corpse later falls through the hatch, confirming his death.
