Elphias was a Greek architect known for building a city on a swampland that no one thought could support a city. It took him 3 tries, but he finally succeeded.
Doge is the word for an Italian leader (i.e., doge of Venice).
When he was introduced, I figured that meant he would become Minister of Magic because of the meaning of his name. You know, the leader who brought order to chaos and all that. *sigh*
