Kael Tam is a kind, personable, easy-going man with a ready sense of humour.  He is a good listener, and enjoys supporting and encouraging others.  He has a strong sense of compassion and duty and is not above speaking his mind if he thinks a particular course of action is not in a patient's best interests or unethical.
 
Despite his gregarious nature, Kael can be remarkably closed about his own personal feelings and past.  Very few people know about his family - especially his daughter - and fewer still know about his youth on Trill.  He doesn't like spending time alone and keeps busy with other people, even when solitude would be beneficial to him.  The needs of other people are very important to him and he frequently places them above his own, sacrificing his own priorities.

One enduring disappointment is his perceived failure as a father.  Unable to cope with raising his daughter Aimi alone, he left her in the care of his parents while continuing his Starfleet career.  Though he feels he is letting her down, he finds himself unwilling or unable to request a posting where his daughter could join him.

<h3>{{LCARS-bar-left|History|200|COLOR=Teal}}</h3>
Kael is one of the few natural Trill telepaths and was raised from a young age to be a Guardian in the employ of the Symbiosis Commission, assisting and facilitating the varied rites that joined Trill and their symbionts participate in.  It was an upbringing he rebelled against and when he was 18, he left Trill to join Starfleet as an enlisted crewman, specialising in emergency medical care.  He maintains to this day that he made the right decision and was grateful when his parents supported him in it.  His sister, an aspiring host, was less enthused by his decision and her subsequent joining with the symbiont Seren has resulted in continuing strained relations between the pair.

Idra's death in 2380 shook Kael to his foundations.  The medical outpost they had both been posted to was raided by Romulans who had splintered from the Empire after the assassination of the Romulan Senate in 2379.  Kael was away attending a conference when the attack occurred and escaped unscathed.  He took a leave of absence for a month and returned to Trill with Aimi.  His returned to Starfleet was accompanied by a new posting and one that took him away from his daughter, though he has yet to reveal if that is by coincidence or design.
