Father: Loros Taybrim (67) (Politician, Betazed)

Loros Taybrim is a quiet, studious man. Born from a long line of civil servants, he is something of an idealist. Never an over-achiever, Loros is the sort of man who craves stability over limelight, and always put his family before his career. He has a somewhat strained relationship with his wife, Brenna due to the fact that he was never able to live up to her expectations. He is, however, the hero and gentle voice of advice and guidance for all three of his sons.

Mother: Brenna Taybrim (62) (pediatrician, medical institute of Betazed)

Brenna Taybrim was born to the upper middle classes of Betazed. Her family boasts many scholars, doctors and educators. A skilled telepath and a respected physician, Brenna greatly increased her husband’s social standing with their marriage. Early in her life Brenna lost her imzadi, Jethrin Kirlal – a Starfleet engineer – while he was on duty. Two years later she settled for settling down with Loros Taybrim. While Brenna is a devoted mother to her three sons, she has never quiet outgrown her contempt of Starfleet or her disappointment in Loros for not living up to the memory of her beloved.

History:

Sal was born the youngest of three brothers to a well off family on the Betazed homeworld. His father was a minor politician and his mother came from a long line of family in various medical positions. As the baby of the family, Sal grew up well loved and slightly spoiled. Charismatic and popular while growing up, Sal has always been a people person. He used his charisma to get him out of trouble on multiple occasions while growing up, which led to a rather charmed and sheltered life.

Before Joining Starfleet, Sal was posted to The Federation research center of Deneva VI as a civilian researcher into artificial intelligence. He was part of a specialist mission to Ceabrin III to investigate a developing intelligence in the Ceabrin computer technology. The researchers found the Ceabrin constructed computers with biological components, and their computers had achieved a rudimentary sentience. This sentience was wreaking havoc on Ceabrin as computers started to backfire against their operators. Sal, believing he could control his telepathy to the utmost tried to mindlink with the computer with disastrous results.

As a result of the incident Sal’s telepathy is damaged. He spent over a year in rehabilitation from the accident, where he came into contact with Starfleet personnel and decided that research was not for him, nor was heading back to Betazed something he wanted to do. He enrolled in Starfleet seeking stability and, ironically, adventure.
