Personal History

Although most Betazoids' telepathy does not manifest itself until puberty, Janaar is one of the few in which it manifests early. These children were often destined for lives of misery and even insanity as they are unable shield out the thoughtsof those around them.. When his abilities began to surface at the age of 6 a Starfleet doctor came up with a possible treatment: Vulcan mind control techniques. The Janaar family left Betazed and moved to Vulcan where, under the teaching of a Vulcan master named Sovok, Akino learned how to better control his telepathy. The training was so successful that it elevated Akino to the level 5 telepathy, whereas most Betazoids only reach level 4.

In 2367, when Janaar was 10 years old his father was assigned to Andor for an important peace conference with the Romulans. The Tal Shiar who wanted to gain some inside information on his father abducted him. When they discovered his Vulcan mental training they took him back to Romulas for experimentation. It was believed that the Romulans could regain the telepathy they lost after the Romulan breakaway from Vulcan.

Janaar was sent to the Rin'tolar prison camp where he was befriended by an elderly human prisoner called William Harris. After months of Romulan interrogations and experiments it was discovered that the Romulans could not get back their telepathy.

Encounters Tanoine and Jenayra Xayis in the prison camp, although warned that they were dangerous he became fascinated with them and often follwed them around, he would encounter the sisters during his first mission on the Wallace.

Janaar became an expert in escaping from the prison, managing to breakout a total of 13 times, each time he was subsequently caught. The prison camp was a often a very violent place and one day Harris was attacked by another inmate, a fight broke out and Janaar killed the man. It was decided that he should be transferred to another prison camp. While being transported by a Romulan warbird, he employed a vulcan mind control technique and escaped from his holding cell, rigged the warp core to explode and escaped in a shuttlecraft. 1200 Romulans were killed.

In 2371, when he returned to Betazed, Akino enrolled in El-Nar school. He never really fitted in at school, he often found his classmates childish and petty. He threw himself into his studies and after 4 short years he graduated from high school.

Returned to Vulcan to further his education at the Vulcan Science Ministry studying Exobiology and Exoimmunology.

Within a few days of his posting Janaar and the rest of the Wallace found their ship hijacked and themselves in a prison camp. It was here he encountered the Xayis sisters again.

Shortly afterwards Janaar and his fiancée were married on Starbase 118, the ceremony performed by Captain Ross.

Janaar was promoted to Lt jg.

After a war-games exercise the USS Juliana under the control of the Android Lore destroyed the USS Churchill, the shock of the destruction of her ship sent his wife into early labour. His son Kyone was born in the Wallace sickbay.

The Galileo is lost in adistant galaxy, Janaar is promoted to Executive Officer shortly thereafter under the command of his old friend from the Wallace Commander Alan Keldor.

Seven months after becoming the XO, the Galileo is destroyed by hostile aliens while Janaar is in command. Instead of waking up in the Betazoid afterlife, he woke up in a Starfleet research facility where he discovered his time on the Galileo had been an elaborate holodeck experiment.

Notes

Akino is a no-nonsense type of guy, a firm believer in if you want something done right do it yourself. His time in prison has made him truly tough, he never backs down when he believes he is right and never allows protocol to get in the way of doing what is right. Being a full telepath he can tell when someone is lying and therefore has no problems trusting people but he is extremely wary of those he cannot read such as Ferengi.
