Of course not, they are just averege predators like you and me, they go to work at 12 PM each day, they manufacture screws for 5 hours straight, they go to a nearby restaurant and eat alot of sushi, because let me tell you, 5 hours of manufacturing screws make you pretty hungry, then they go home. They watch TV till 10 PM and then go out with their friends or their girlfriend, they get back at 12 AM and fall asleep as soon as they sit down in their favourite armchair that their dad bought from a garage sale many years ago. Suddenly, one day, a guy knocks on their door and says...
"Young man, how would you like to lead an army?"
"What.. but i..."
"YOU'RE IN!"
"But me and my girlfriend are getting married next week, we just managed to get enaugh money for a new house... what..."
"... I understand this must seem a bit sudden, but i assure you, it's nothing to worry about! You lead a ship on a 60 years trip to Earth and back tomorrow, you will be picked up in half an hour, so be ready by then. I wish you the best of luck from now on."
And that is how an Elder is created.
