Personal History
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.
He met his future wife Idra while on teaching assignment to Starfleet Medical; she was a systems technician involved in the maintenance of the complex computers employed there. After several months together, they returned to Trill and married. Their daughter, Aimi, was born two years later, an event Kael would described as "the most important in his life".
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.
