Eric Doyle was born in Omaha, Nebraska. Orphaned at five, when his parents died in an auto accident, raised by his uncle, Ned, in San Diego, California; Eric shunned his new home in favor of an elaborate imaginary world revolving around a set of crude finger puppets that his birth mother had made for him.

One day, during one of Ned’s frequent attempts to force Eric to enjoy the beach, Ned gave his nephew’s ragged finger puppets to his dogs as chew toys. Watching the last keepsakes of his childhood destroyed sent Eric into rage, causing his power to manifest for the first time: Eric forced his uncle to swim away from shore and drown in the Pacific.

Eric Doyle met Claire Bennet’s birth mother, Meredith Gordon, at an antique flea market, where Meredith was admiring a rare 19th century marionette. In Company interviews, Eric claims he fell in love at first sight and felt that he and Meredith were meant to be together. But despite Meredith’s initial politeness and Eric’s increasingly desperate attempts — including abduction and manipulation — he was unable to make her love him, to his deep frustration. The Company made its initial bag and tag of Eric at this point, and Meredith survived.
