Elias Thatcher was born on a spring day in April in Chicago, Illinois. From their choice of movies to music, and fashion, Elias's parents were totally stuck in the 80's and 90's. As it would turn out, he' would end up with similar taste as his parents. He has also always lived in this dream that one day he’ll get to star in his real-life version of an 80’s romcom movie. Complete with a big stereo blasting some love song outside of someone's window and everything. Despite his positive outlook of the world around him life was not kind to the Thatcher family. They never had a lot of money to give, what little they did have had to go to rent, bills, and food. So needless to say, Elias got a lot of his clothes from thrift stores or hand me downs from his cousins. It used to cause him to get picked on by a lot of the kids in his school, but he didn't care. He was never ashamed of his thrift store clothes, he loved thrifting, he just never understood why those kids had to be so cruel about it.

He was fifteen when the car accident happened. Elias and his parents were on their way back home with some pizza and movies, after a long day of Christmas shopping, when the collision with another car occurred. It really was just a tragic accident due to slippery roads and cars sliding left and right. He made it out with minor injuries, most of the impact happening at the front of the car, but his parents did not share the same fate. From that day forward, Christmas has never been the same for Elias. He went on to move in with his grandparents, who lived in Jacksonville, Florida. Then, life continued to have its ups and downs for Elias. Losing his parents made him spiral a bit, which in turn caused a lot of arguments between him and loved ones. Yet, despite it all, Eli still tried to keep a positive outlook.

Eventually he ends up moving back to Chicago for college and lives with some friends.  He meets a girl who will go on to become his girlfriend for a year before she ends up breaking up with him by drunk cheating with a mutual friend. It hurt but he got over it rather quickly, and then he figured out college wasn't really for him.  So, Elias lives on the road for a bit with some friends, straight out of his backpack, with nothing but the bit of money he made from street performing random 80’s covers; his favorite one was Take Me Home Tonight by Eddie Money. He came across Wilmington by complete coincidence. Him and his friends ended up staying in the coastal town longer than intended and by the time they were ready to leave Eli was not. He was able to put down first months' rent with someone who lived in Midtown, moved in, and began his life in Wilmington. He's been living in town for four years now, and he discovered his passion for baking three years ago.
