Theo Whittaker: Difference between revisions

Born to '''Josiah Bartholomew Whittaker'''- a former dean of Tucker's Landing University- and '''Madeline Fatima Whittaker''' (neé Carson)- a Starfleet officer- Theo Whittaker grew up a well educated and well spoken young man. Attending the best schools on Archer IV, he was expected to comport himself accordingly under the strict rules of his father whom he lived with full time while his mother served in Starfleet. Never the less, he inherited his mother's rebellious nature and often clashed with his uptight, privileged father who expected his only child to continue the family tradition of a career in the academic world. In an open act of defiance, Theo chose to follow in his mother's footsteps and enroll in Starfleet. The decision led to a rift between father and son which had not healed by the time of Josiah's death during Theo's second year attending [[Starfleet Academy]].

Sparrow'', a Starfleet patrol ship assigned to the 'core worlds' of the [[United Federation of Planets|Federation]]. While his mother did appreciate her husband's wishes for Theo to follow in his footsteps, she also privately believed that her son should be allowed to make his own choices and thus did not oppose Theo's decision to enter Starfleet Academy. While she stood publicly by her husband, Theo was never the less aware of his mother's true feelings.
