==Background Information==
Ryder Kohlar is the only child between Thomas Bell (2340) and Zendi Kholar (2365). The result of an affair, his mother was best friends with Kathryn Bell until her suicide in 2384. Since then, Zendi kept in close contact with Kathryn's father, which amplified when Thomas moved to Betazed with his new wife and family. The two had an affair that started during a holiday visit. When Zendi conceived she didn't realize it was Thomas' and assumed it was her husband Daniel Cousins (2360). 
Ryder was raised with Daniel as his father until the summer of 2420 when Daniel became ill and required an organ donor. When Ryder was tested, they discovered they were not genetically related. This was when his mother realized who the father had to be, the truth causing a rift in the family. 
==Personal Life==
Th'Arn (2417-2420): Meeting as good friends in highschool, they were always in the same activism circles and got to know one another. For some time they did date and were sexually active, but also had an open relationship where they were permitted to have a girlfriend on the side if they wanted. They broke up in 2420 when Andor was attacked and Th'Arn had to go back with his family to re-gather their lives and mourn.
Aaple Devrix (2420-2425): Meeting through his half-sister Marlina, they became quick friends despite his concerns about her House affiliations. With a quick romance, Aaple quickly asked him to be in a contracted House relationship. This didn't last long after a documentary series came out that seemed incriminating in regards to his intentions with Aaple. Aaple eventually cheated and they were never able to fully get back their stride. After several on again/off again relationship attempts, they opted to be good friends.
Emma Easton (2425): Meeting on the planet Zandar during a charity event, Ryder saved her from the New Order and she helped him heal from a severe injury in the attempt. This made them closer and upon returning to Earth they opted to date.
