== History ==
Tristol grew up on Gal as Ooloi Tristol. Early on he knew he was only attracted to the antiga of his species, which was considered perverse. He soon left Gal when he refused gamein and began working on Station X017 as a diplomatic negotiator and cultural mediator. His advocate had been Ooloi Plesol, but they have since passed away. By the beginning of The 5th Gender, it had been a decade since Tristol left Gal. As of The 5th Gender, he is approximately a hundred years old by human's standards. The 5th Gender, Chapter 9 
== Living Quarters ==
The entire floor of Tristol's living room was covered in mattresses and blankets with pillows piled everywhere. There was no other furniture - no tables, no chairs, no couches. It was, basically, one massive bed. 
There were no shelves, and no decorative items of any kind, no art hung on display. Instead, Tris had painted the walls, like an abstract mural. He'd used bold brushtrokes and cohesive colors, warm mauves and pinks darkening upward into muted violet - like the night sky before the stars come out. Tristol's many pillows and blankets all went along with the color palette. The 5th Gender, Chapter 6
