BRIEF HISTORY:
The thing about Eli is that he never really settled down in one place too long. At the age of three, he lost both his parents in a tragic house fire. His grandparents adopted him and from then on out they were almost always moving. It wasn't until he was 13 that his grandfather explained why. The house fire was no accident and the people who set it were after them. The reasons weren't entirely clear to Eli, even up to this day.
Eli's grandfather was a respected solider in World War II but some people... well they simply didn't understand his work. People wanted to capture them, wanted them dead so whenever they caught wind of an approaching enemy, they fled not because they were weak but because they were outnumbered. They were a rare breed, his Opa used to tell him. A dying breed and that was a damn shame. Eli refused to let that happen and spent his life trying to model himself after his war hero grandfather.
Eli's grandmother passed away when he was 17. He could see the impact her death had on his grandfather and within months Eli’s grandfather drew his final breath. Alone for the first time, Eli found himself lost. During his grandparent’s life, he never had a moment alone. It was safer with family. Now years after his grandfather’s death, Eli is still struggling to find himself.
