Eames was born on the 24th June at the Royal Berkshire Hospital, Reading, Berkshire. His full name is Daniel Eames. No middle name.
Eames attended Harrow boys school in north London from the ages of 11-18. He has eleven GCSEs and 4 A-levels (history, French, English, politics). He joined the RAF at sixteen as a cadet, had his pilots licence by 17. He spent six weeks at Oxford studying European History and International Relations.
Then he joined the RAF full time. Because university is for nerds.
From 18-21 he flew as a pilot, from 22-23 he joined the paramilitary and worked over, in, and around Siera Leone.
At 23 he had The Accident. Parachuting from a plane to deliver things, Eames was shot down. The bullet went through the canopy of his parachute and Eames fell, breaking both legs on landing. One is nearly completely reconstructed with metal plates and pins.
He spent the rest of the year and the following in hospital, learning to walk again.
Just before his 25th birthday, Eames joined MI6.
His relationship with his parents is distant though not hostile. They are from good money and Eames is their only heir, but the money he spends is only the money he earns.
His relationships have been few and far between. Most notable are a girl, Sara, that he met in the RAF cadets. They dated for a few years and shagged whenever they met out in the field. A man at the military hospital, Craig, who had to be removed to a different hospital due to a morphine addiction, and Ellen, a MI6 communications operative, on a break from her husband when she and Eames began sleeping together. She discovered she was pregnant, but left Eames after six months to go back to her husband with whom she gave birth to baby Ben. Eames sees him when he's in the country.
