So intimate, this Chopin, that I think his soul Should be resurrected only among friends Some two or three, who will not touch the bloom That is rubbed and questioned in the concert room.
~Portrait of a Lady; T.S. Eliot
Background
Eliott doesn't talk very much about where he came from, beyond that he grew up somewhere on the East Coast, and that he has family of some sort in Los Angeles. His behavior suggests an upper class, sheltered background of some kind, although that stands in stark contrast to the way he dresses.
RP Hooks
Music: Eliott plays several instruments, the most prominent being the piano and the flute. He describes himself as a hobbyist, but his playing shows a classical education, and is on the level of some of the best concert musicians.
13th Hour Club: Eliott is a sometimes pianist at the 13th Hour Club.
Most of what he plays there is jazz, but when the club isn't crowded, he sometimes indulges in Chopin or Rachmaninoff
Animal Lover: Eliott has a soft spot for animals, and for their part, they seem also to like him.
Haunted Flutist: Rumors of ghostly flute music audible some nights in the Hollywood Forever cemetery can be traced back to Eliott; he sometimes practices there at night.
Mr. Nobody: Eliott is a master at blending into or melting into a crowd. Any crowd. If you're desperate enough for people not to notice you, sometimes you can make that happen.
Nightlife: He's been known to pop up at a wide variety of clubs and other nightlife spots, and has an eclectic mix of friends in those places.
