## Biography

Brian was born and grew up on the freighter cargo ship Bandy. He's been all over the Alpha and Beta Quadrant's loading and unloading cargo with his large family. His main job on board the Bandy was to help where help was needed.  He attended school but nothing compared to earth children's school.  At an early age he had to learn how to defend himself, being on a cargo ship it's a hard and dangerous life.  Brain's been in many hand to hand and fire fights while onboard the Brandy. His main areas of work were helping the engineering staff and crawling through the crawl spaces to fix things.  He also helped with first aid when it was needed.

Brian wanted to get out from under his parents and go off on his own when he was sixteen. He wanted to grow and learn about everything that fascinated him that he couldn't while on board the Brandy. When his family was making a shipment run to the Earth Defense Fleet's Station, Brian seen what the future could hold when he and the other children that wanted to go on a guided tour around the station with the ships Mrs. Williams the Doctors wife as their chaperone from the Brandy. Brian was excited since they never got a guided tour before while unloading their cargo, it was get there unload safely but quickly, check back in and go back out for the next run. They walked to rooms with observation windows to different labs where the officer talking about what was being studied, he found everything interesting, asking questions to everything that popped in his head. When the tour was over, and they returned back to the unloading bay the officer told Brian that he might have what it takes to make it in Starfleet if he could further his studies. While the Brandy was being patched up and refueled for departure in a couple of days, Brian talked with his parents about what he wanted from his life, and it wasn't to run cargo. After hours of talking and arguing with his family, Doc and Mrs. Williams were able to help Brian sway the decision to let him and two other Brandy crew members further their studies.

Brian put in an application with the EDF for civilian work. Fleet Admiral Tara Rollans interviewed Brian personally and his parents, after a lengthy discussion Fleet Admiral Rollans agreed and approved Brian's application. Brian was assigned quarters, and he was put through a series of aptitude tests to see where he was educationally, after the tests were scored, he received a work schedule in engineering, science lab five (educational lab), medbay three and astrometrics. He also received a class schedule from Commander Hemesath of Starfleet Academy. He worked hard; however, he studied even harder to get caught up. During his free time, you could find Brian in one of the holodecks challenging a mountain climbing program or studying the stars or listening to Earths old musicians of the Soul Legends. After a year and a half Fleet Admiral Tarah Rollans called Brian for a meeting with his Commanding Officer's and his Instructors. After discussing his studies and work everyone gave him their recommendation and approval for further studies at Starfleet Academy. Fleet Admiral Tarah Rollans agreed along with the officers and instructors, seeing his spark and protentional to become a great officer she drafted a letter of recommendation to Starfleet Academy for enrolment.

After graduating from High School while onboard EDF Station Brian spent some time on Fleet Admiral Rollans ship the USS EDF learning under her crew and herself. When the time came for Brian to report to SFA the crew of the USS EDF escorted him back to Earth. After four years of studying in the science division at SFA Brian graduated receiving the rank of Ensign. He was transferred back to the EDF, where he was assigned to the USS Jose Hernandez (Intrepid-Class) under Captain Rachel Duffy as a Science Officer while also assigned to Astrometrics. While on the Hernandez Brian formed friendships quiet quickly with the crew, helping where he could and learning what he could from the older officers. The USS Jose Hernandez along with the rest of Task Force Bravo were sent on a mission to investigate a new Borg presents in the Beta Quadrant in the Ponor Sector. When arriving the Task Force found Borg wreckage and traces of tachyons. Brian uncovered the Borg Transwarp aperture was off by light years destroying the Borg ships traveling within with no exit hub. Further investigation into the wreckage uncovered information the Borg were cut off from the Collective for .000 000 043 nanoseconds before self-destruct was initiated on all the ships. EDF Task Force Bravo stayed in the Ponor Sector for fourteen days making sure no further presence or incoming Borg vessels were on the way to the sector. After returning to EDF Station, Brian tried out for the ship's baseball team and was selected to play Short Stop. Each ship's baseball team along with the Station's Teams played off against each other till one team won the EDF Championship to move on to represent the EDF in the Federation Playoffs. The Jose Hornets finished in sixth place overall in the EDF Championships in 2412.

Brian was injured while on an away mission in the Demil System on Demil 4 in the Teneebia Sector. A wild Demillin boar ran out from behind some shrubbery ripping into Brian's right leg leaving behind a large open gash before running back into the shrubbery. Brian was transported back to the Jose Hernandez for treatment and surgery, returning to full duty three days later. In 2413 nine days after his 23rd birthday Brian received a message from his family notifying him of his father's passing, Brian was granted bereavement leave to attend his father's funeral. After returning to the USS Jose Hernandez the crew noticed a change in Brian, he was more standoffish and hostile towards nonhumanoid species. Brian was put on report and sent to the ship's counselor, along with being removed from the ships Jose Hornets baseball team. After months of talking and working with Counselor Farrell, Brian was starting to somewhat get his life back on track. Still standoffish towards other alien species, he was no longer acting hostile towards them. In 2414 Brian was reinstated to the Jose Hornets baseball team, the first game in the EDF Playoffs the Jose Hornets ended with a massive flop in the first rounds in the EDF playoffs with a score of 3 to 34 ending the 2414 season at number eighteen. On March 5th, 2415, Brian's time with the USS Jose Hernandez came to an end when he was transferred to the USS Leonardo da Vinci (Odyssey-Class) as the Assistant Chief Science Officer along with a promotion to Lieutenant Junior Grade. While on night shift Brian observed and recorded a new solar system forming around a Large Red Main Sequence Star in the Eridan Belt while the di Vinci was on a scientific mission to better understand the early formation and the building blocks to life. While observing a rocky planet forming in the habitable ring, Brian noticed that the gas giant outside the habitable ring was slowly moving in towards the inner ring. Brian noted on his report that in a couple hundred years if the gas giant keeps moving towards the habitable section, it would devour the inner planets that could one day form life, if another Gas Giant didn't pull the one moving inward back out into a stable orbit around the Sun. Also, he noted that if moons formed around the Gas Giants if they formed in the Habitable Ring, they also could form with the right building blocks for intelligent life. The da Vinci sent out observation and scientific buoys to further watch and study the young forming solar system.

On October 17, 2416, Brian was promoted to the full rank of Lieutenant, while also taking over as the Chief Science Officer on board the USS Leonardo di Vinci after Lt. Commander Hollister was killed by shrapnel from an exploding consol while the di Vinci was under attack by a couple of Romulan D'deridex Warbirds in the Chiron System in the Sierra Sector. The di Vinci returned to EDF Station for repairs and upgrades where, during the down time Brian again isolated himself from the crew and spent time in the station's holodeck challenging the toughest and most dangerous mountain climb Earth has to offer. He spent a week trying to conquer the K2 Mountain with no success. In 2417, the EDF joined with the newly formed Imperium Legio IX Hispana Fleet to help newly minted Fleet Admiral Hemesath former SFA Instructor and Assistant Dean to help set the building foundation to the new fleets station. While working with the ILIXH fleet Brian noticed that all the officers and crew were SFA dropouts or were not capable of getting into Starfleet Academy, Brian also formed a few new friendships with some of the ILIXH crew. The di Vinci returned to EDF Station after getting the construction of the ILIXH Station ahead of schedule. Brian tried out for the ship's di Vinci Ornithopters Baseball Team, he was selected to play Right Field for the 2418 season. Unfortunately, the EDF Playoffs would never come to be due to the fleets dissolvement by order from Starfleet Command. Brian was promoted to Lt. Commander and transferred to the Joint Task Force Bellerophon (JTFB) Fleet in the Trill Sector in the Alpha Quadrant, where he was stationed on the USS Thermopylae (Vesta-Class) also known as the Therm by the other JTFB officers, as the First Officer with his background and understanding of the sciences under the Command of Captain Liz Thompson. While onboard the Therm Brian meet Lieutenant Markus Brookfield the Chief Tactical and Security Officer forming a friendship with him that lasts to this day.

Being on the Therm really brought the inner young boy Brian used to be back out. He tried to get his hands on everything, learning what he could on the amazing ship that is a scientific hotbed "My kind of candy shop." The Therm and her crew found them self's not only running tests and experiments of the new experimental technology, they also were in their fair share of battles. In 2421, after three years serving onboard the USS Thermopylae Brian was transferred to the USS Brazzaville (Nebula-Class) as the First Officer, where he received a promotion to Commander. He was put through a Command Kobayashi Maru program along with other Brazzaville Officers. They lost control of the ship, fighting their last stand in Engineering. Of course, Brian thought they could out trick the program, but with no such luck. The program ended with all hands lost, failing to send the remaining crew to the escape pods. In 2423 the USS Brazzaville took heavy damage against a surprised ambush attack by a Tholian Recluse and the USS Ariel in Command by Captain David Rotane a supporter of the Ad Populum party. The crew of the Brazzaville was able to fend off the attack, however with Brazzaville's age and taking damage over its 50-year lifespan the Brazzaville crew was transferred to the newly acquired USS Ariel (Luna-Class). Brian remained as Captain Kaan's First Officer. On December 3rd, 2423, Brian was promoted to Captain given command of the USS Ariel after former Captain Kaan was arrested.

Brian received his first orders in command of the Ariel to investigate a distress call from a colony in the Rotanev Sector, the crew testing out a new a new EXO Suit.
