Uncle Eli

Uncle Eli is a male human character appearing exclusively in JumpStart Adventures 6th Grade: Mission EarthQuest.

Appearance
Uncle Eli is an elderly man with shaggy whitish-gray hair and a mustache. He wears round glasses which obscure his eyes. His clothing consists of a green T-shirt, beige cargo pants, and brown sandals.

Personality and Characteristics
Uncle Eli is Jess and Zack's uncle and the leader of EarthQuest. He is responsible for designing most of the gadgets and technology in the game and even helped work on A.R.T. in the past.

In the late 90s, the JumpStart website contained an online profile for Uncle Eli, which stated that he is 70 years old, and is a somewhat eccentric genius who founded and runs EarthQuest. His desire to fund a planetary defense organization lead him to be ridiculed by his co-workers and friends, and he works with only the support of Jess, Zack, and Roswell.

In the Game
Uncle Eli first appears to greet the player at the Sign-in Screen, and will give the players instructions on how to sign in.

During the game, Uncle Eli can be contacted by clicking on the Help button on the Toolbar. This will bring up a holographic image of Uncle Eli, which can be used to converse with him.
