Early Life
Edinger Orix was born at the Trill Embassy to Andoria, his father Milsa Orix was the Trill Ambassador to Andoria. Growing up as an outsider, Edinger was often teased and called names such as pink skin by the Andorian children. He formed a thick skinned personality, and developed a sense of sarcasm, sharp wit, and a gruff attitude to combat the harassment. In 2347, while on a trip to ski the Andorian Alps, a ski lift collapsed, leaving one of Edinger's classmates badly injured. While waiting for a medevac to arrive, Edinger used pieces of his own coat to form a bandage to limit bleeding. Because of his efforts, his classmate survived without permanent damage. After the incident, Edinger's Andorian classmates accepted began to accept him as one of their own. The incident also set forth Edinger's lifelong passion for medicine.

In 2351, Edinger enrolled in medical school on the Trill homeworld. As he pursued his training, he found himself fascinated by the process of symbiosis. After making several inquiries with the symbiosis commission, he was admitted for evaluation to be joined. The commission was prepared to reject Edinger, but they deicded that, as he was raised off world, he would be fit to host a newborn symbiont. In 2355 Edinger was joined with the Deet symbiont immediately following his graduation from medical school.

Nimbus III
Having completed his training as a Doctor, and being newly joined with a symbiont life form, Edinger Deet decided to seek out work where he felt he was needed. After several inquiries, he settled on Nimbus III as a target for his work. Edinger procured a large quantity of medical supplies, and leased a small property in Paradise City from which he could administer medical care to the impoverished settlement.
