Eli April was the mirror-counterpart of Robert Elijah April (Stephen April's father), and like most Terrans in the Klingon-Cardassian Alliance, a slave. He fathered Stephen April (mirror) via Laraine Boone. Despite his slave stature, Eli was a great womanizer (a trait he passed on to his son). In addition to Laraine, he had an affair with the Cardassian wife of Gul Edet, fathering Elita, for which he was executed. Eli was descended from Robert April, mirror-counterpart of the Federation's Robert April.
