History

Born in 1975 in rural Wyoming (though really which parts of Wyoming aren't rural?) to a good Lutheran family.
Middle child of three, his life was normal if a bit secluded--grew up knowing he wanted to work with animals.
Graduated and began schooling locally to become a large animal vet for local farmers. Had a knack for it.
Married when he was 25. Only daughter--Tawny--born when he was 26.
Lived the good rural life for a long time until someone in the local Band thought it would be funny to give Dr. Foster a good chomping.
32 was a hard year, as he had to change job directions and couldn't tell his family why, and desperation more than any real desire to stick around the Band had him joining them.
33 was harder still, because while he thought he was getting a handle on things, maybe figuring out a new direction, his daughter finding him locked in the shed one stressful afternoon went catastrophically.
Grief was impossibly high, he couldn't bear to stay--moved to Utah and filed for divorce.
Buried himself in sorrow for a while until he met a new Band, one without all the undesirable associations from before. Started to feel better and get a better grip on who he was and come to terms with what he'd done.
Went back to medical school, warned it would be hard, but determined to prove that he was something more than what one terrible moment would paint him as.
Decided on pediatrics for a myriad of reasons, not the least of which was the memory of what he'd lost.
Waited until he was certain this wasn't the worst decision of his life, joined a practice in Ridgefield County.
Hoped to find his place here, both as a person and as the coyote he'd become.
Found a band.
Sort of found a life while he was at it.

Relationships

Frank Beringer - Frank is exactly who Eli would proclaim is his best friend. They met in happenstance right before Eli's relationship with the first prowl-in-town went weird, and they bonded repeatedly over various dramas. Who could ask for more than a pair of King Medics who work well together and genuinely care about each other? Eli couldn't. He is quite happy with what he's got right here.
Brooke Williams - Eli didn't turn her, but in his heart he did. Basically considering her an adopted daughter in some ways, she has lived with him for a while now, helping her grow her coyote while healing something in his own heart in the process. She's cool. He likes her.
Kai Cormyr - Genuinely he doesn't know what it is about her that he is so inclined to gravitate toward, but he does. Sniping each other verbally is second only to actually having a physical fight. But in the end he is pretty sure they care about each other? Basically?
Asha Rao - Once upon a time, she was queen, and she gave him shit for living in her territory because he didn't bow and scrape like she wanted. Then her prowl fell apart and she lost her memories, and she apologized to him and gave him a gift basket and invited him to her wedding... he's really not sure what to make of her at this point, but he does know he's forgiven her as much as he needs to.
Alice White - There was a point where Alice was new to the world of being a raccoon and got herself bitten and Eli patched her up. Then he got to gleefully inform her about matebond when she accidentally did it with her boyfriend. She also makes him feel fatherly but also wild, like a mix of Brooke and Kai, that's not weird at all.
