Elias the Tesbite?

no, not a pokeman character.

That is what he is called in the bible.

Fountain of Elias has a post about him.

Although an old testament prophet, he is considered the founder of the Catholic Carmelite order.

St Elias came to have many disciples called the "sons of the prophets." (4 Kings 2:5) This group was seen as being the origin of the Carmelite order, since for generations to come, holy men and hermits would seek to live a life of solitude and prayer in imitation of Elias and the "sons of the prophets." 

My favorite part of his story is when he challenged the Baal prophets to make a miracle. They  prayed and chanted all day. At the end of the day, Elias waited until a cloud was seen on the horizen, then poured water over the wood to make the wood less likely to catch fire, said a prayer, and voila, fire from heaven.

Yup. Wet wood attracted a lightning bolt, and thunderstorms often occur at the end of a hot day.

I have no problem if God uses natural means to make a miracle. The real miracles are often that these things seem to be a coincidence: A doctor just happens to be there to save a life (when I was in Africa, we often had emergencies two minutes before I left, or five minutes after I came back from a trip. The nuns just shrugged at the coincidence), The best example of this was a plane that lost their ability to control their flight just happens to have a passenger there whose job just happened to be to train other pilots to cope with this problem by changing throttle controls of the engines.

As Einstein said: God does not play dice.

But the real lesson we learn from St Elias was that he found God in the small voice, not the thunder:

…11So He said, "Go forth and stand on the mountain before the LORD." And behold, the LORD was passing by! And a great and strong wind was rending the mountains and breaking in pieces the rocks before the LORD; but the LORD was not in the wind. And after the wind an earthquake, but the LORD was not in the earthquake. 12After the earthquake a fire, but the LORD was not in the fire; and after the firea sound of a gentle blowing. 13When Elijah heard it, he wrapped his face in his mantle and went out and stood in the entrance of the cave. And behold, a voice came to him and said, "What are you doing here, Elijah?"… 

so we hear the sound of God's voice in our conscience when it is calm and quiet, not in the thunder of our emotions and the chaos of the latest political scandal.

Ah, but why is he called Elias the Tesbite?

Dictionary.com:

Elijah the prophet was thus named (1 Kings 17:1; 21:17, 28, etc.). In 1 Kings 17:1 the word rendered "inhabitants" is in the original the same as that rendered "Tishbite," hence that verse may be read as in the LXX., "Elijah the Tishbite of Tishbi in Gilead." Some interpret this word as meaning "stranger," and read the verse, "Elijah the stranger from among the strangers in Gilead." This designation is probably given to the prophet as denoting that his birthplace was Tishbi, a place in Upper Galilee (mentioned in the apocryphal book of Tobit), from which for some reason he migrated into Gilead. Josephus, the Jewish historian (Ant. 8:13, 2), however, supposes that Tishbi was some place in the land of Gilead. It has been identified by some with el-Ishtib, a some place 22 miles due south of the Sea of Galilee, among the mountains of Gilead.
