Marcus Wolfe (2398-2403): Essa met her lover in 2398 when she was a young graduate student studying ancient Bajoran religion at the university. She initially sought him out to learn from his expertise in the field, and the two moved from being strictly teacher and student to becoming good friends. Meeting up again on Earth in 2403, the two were somewhat surprisingly pushed toward a more romantic relationship via the intervention of Marcus' son, Benjamin, who divulged that Marcus had had feeling for Essa for some time. The two were romantically involved until a decision Marcus made to save his daughter over thousands of Bajorans promoted her to break ties.
