Devlin was born on [[Deep Space 10]] with 5 siblings. His original owner, Arlene Jones, was heading to Andoria and couldn't take the young pup with her. So she placed an ad, which Petty Officer {{n|Greywin|Fergus}} answered. Along with the puppy was a blanket that contained the scents of his siblings.
:When he gives people nicknames, his thoughts usually stumble over the letter A if it's at the beginning of a word or name. So it gets shortened to something. Alora became Lora, for example. His bursts of thought are mostly happy images that are typical of a puppy, like a beach frisbee game. The little canine also enjoys free hugs, because beagles are adorable and who wouldn't want to hug him?
::Since Chythar's rating jumped from T2/E4 to T4/E6, Devlin has been a strange anomaly to the doctor's telepathic ability. Even while still at the low end of the telepathic and empathic spectrum, CD could still read Devlin's mind. As though the canine were so finely tuned to his master that one didn't need to be telepathic in order to sense him. How this was possible is still a mystery to Chythar, and probably will remain so.

:This little fellow was gifted to CD as a therapy dog, because his original owner couldn't take him aboard the ship en route to a frozen world. Over time, Chythar has learned to communicate with his canine companion. Devlin has managed to figure out how to nickname people, and usually 'speaks' in two or three word thoughts to his master, who has to translate for him.

:Nicknamed "Lora" by the little fellow while aboard the ''Garuda'' and later the ''Invicta''. Chythar sees her as a friend, and she had a very playful cat that Devlin enjoyed stalking.

:Chythar thought of her as a sister, Devlin thought of her as someone who needed hugs. Always happy healing hugs, as canines are adorable like that. Devlin is never one to turn down free hugs. Ris thinks of Devlin as a child shared in parentage with Chythar.

:Recipient of the name "Flyboy", and Devlin found him to be quite cuddly during their time on the ''Columbia''. Another friend of Chythar's, though alas a short-lived meeting. Hopefully their paths will cross again.

:Nicknamed "Lexi" by Devlin. While he and Chythar were together, he saw the man as his other master.
