Biography
Elton encountered the Tenth Doctor several times, first at the age of three or four, when he was awoken by the sound of the Doctor's TARDIS materialising. He went downstairs to find his mother dead in the corner of his lounge and the Doctor standing in the middle of the room. The Doctor said that his mother had been killed. He later explained to Elton that she was killed by an Elemental Shade which had escaped from the Howling Halls.
After the series of alien invasions and other similar events leading up to 2007, Elton co-founded a group named LINDA with four others who were interested in the Doctor. He also began recording a video diary in which he recalled his life up to that point and his subsequent, LINDA-related adventures. He was the only one of the group to survive intact the Abzorbaloff's infiltration from March to April 2007. The only other survivor, Ursula Blake, was transformed into a slab of concrete and Elton became her caregiver, with the two subsequently engaging in an unusual relationship. He later acknowledged that following the Doctor was very dangerous, and feared for Rose and Jackie(Unknowingly foreshadowing the events of DW: Doomsday). However he knew that this wasn't the Doctor's fault and didn't blame him for his losses, he also was grateful for the way he could see how brilliant the world is thanks to his encounter with him.
