Eli was born to a woman who was not ready to raise a child. A young female that had made mistakes in her teenage years, had come to be pregnant with a boy. She could not bring herself to abort the child, instead she waited till he popped out of her and dropped her on someone else's doorstep. He was born in Loguetown, and left on the doorstep of Liara Rosemary—a gifted archaelogist on a extended visit to Loguetown doing research.

As she heard the screams of a baby from the outside of her home, she rushed to find a cute toddler with strands of blonde hair barely noticeable on his pale head. The woman who had never been a mother had her maternal instincts kick in, and immediately brought the child into the house. Over the next few weeks she tried to find out who the parents were, but it was to no avail. She was ready to give the boy up for adoption, however it seemed the two of them had formed a bond she did not expect. Liara took a liking to the baby boy, and named him Eli after her father.
[break][break]As the years went by with haste, the baby quickly grew into a curious boy who got himself in more trouble than she cared to clean up after. What she did not expect however, was the boy to take up an interest or better yet, a passion in archaeology. He was quite good too. A fast learner, one who grasped the methods quite quickly. Eli who was usually someone that didn't enjoy sitting in one place for a long period of time would be quiet as a mouse for hours if she had found something of interest that she needed to decode or study. In some ways, Eli made her a better archaeologist as the questions he posed were much different from her own and gave her an outside the box perspective.
[break][break]Liara was a skilled fighter in her own rights as well. She traveled the sea quite often, and the threats of pirates and marines alike kept her on her toes. She taught him from a young age how to protect himself, and what he learned from her on the habits and thoughts of women proved extremely useful when he transitioned to a man in his later years.
[break][break]The two of them traveled the sea and visited many islands together. Uncovering secrets, artifacts and escaping threats together. It was a unique bond between a woman who took in a stranger as her own. Though at this point, she was his mother and he her son. Eli's favorite island was the island of Ohara. A small island with a huge tree filled with over 5'000 years of knowledge. Not many people were aware of its existence, and this is the place where he learned how to read Poneglyphs and became a much more efficient and experienced archaeologist.
[break][break]Though Marines had always been a problem, because of their natural disdain for archaeologists he never had a hate for them until one unfortunate day...
[break][break]Liara had heard rumors about a devil fruit being buried in a chest on an unnamed island close to their current position. She took Eli with her and off they went to find out if these rumors were indeed true. At this point Eli was twenty years old, and Liara in her early forties. They spent a week searching the island, and trying to get a fix on the location based on the limited resources they had. Finally they made a breakthrough. Digging through the dirt with a spade, Eli felt a thud with a object and immediately felt elated. He kept digging quickly and finally uncovered a chest.
[break][break]As he opened it, his eyes widened at the sight of the fruit with swirly patterns. He told his mother he found it, and as she was coming over to him a singular gun shot rang out and she thudded to the ground. "Take a b-" was all she could manage before the life left her eyes. Seeing as the gun the marine used took a while to reload, Eli took a bite from the fruit and almost collapsed to the ground. It felt like poison was coursing through his body, and after that disgusting taste in his mouth he was sure he was going to die. Until the power had adapted to his body, in which he regained some of his strength.
[break][break]However, he wasn't even there anymore. Eli had blacked out from rage upon seeing his mother's lifeless body on the dirt and a marine loading up his gun. Without thinking he practically flashed in front of the marine, using his hand to grip his throat and squeeze as hard as he could. The skin around the marine began to heat up and fry away, as the electricity emitting from Eli's hand more so ensured that the marine had lost his life. He proceeded to take out the remaining squadron with ease, before collapsing to the ground. It seemed the emotions he felt allowed him to utilize the devil fruit ability better than most at the beginning of their consumption. However, since then he has yet to be able to come close to that kind of output.
[break][break]As of now, Eli has devoted his time to increasing his skills as an archaeologist and with a newly placed bounty on his head—finding a pirate crew in which he fit in with. One that he would find, under the leadership of Captain Kingston. Long live the 50/50 Pirates.
