History
Cade himself never tells his history to anyone or if he does he likes to tell plenty of conflicting stories. Only a tiny few closest friends know the truth.
Cade is the only child of two high ranking Starfleet officers. Cade's father, Admiral Greg Foster was born Gregory Dauntin, the same family as Captain Alaric Dauntin, the infamous traitor of Taloka IV. Most of the Dauntin lineage was dirty, with ties to the Orion Syndicate and groups that were probably tied to the illicit section 31. Gregory Dauntin dropped his last mane when he married the up and coming Lisa Foster. Lisa was career minded - a trait instilled in her by her overachieving mother. Cade's father was more concerned about his own career than any sort of family life. Meaning Cade spent the earliest years of his childhood tossed from nanny to nanny, most of them deciding to placate the child with plenty of meaningless entertainment and sweets. Mom was there - sometimes. But more often than not she was distracted and focused on her duties. But at least Cade knew her, and he felt bad when she passed away. He barely shed a tear at his father's funeral - he could count on one hand the number of times he had met the bastard.
His father's family were a bunch of stuck-up pricks, and his mother's family was split between Grandmother Margaret who remarried a Federation secretary named Ivacovitch, and Grandfather Charles who never remarried. Grandma Margaret was a stiff woman who didn't know how to smile and forced the spoiled, soft young Cade to study or face her discipline. She provided stability, but Charles Foster was the only real fun Cade knew as a child.
Grandpa Charles was crass, and liberal and gave a hang about rules. He had served for two decades on the USS Bonaventure, and had lots of stories to tell. He was thoroughly unconcerned about what people thought of him, and thoroughly concerned with having as much fun as possible in the strangest ways. And he broke Cade out from his gilded cage and, ran off and let the kid have fun. In turn, Cade picked up Charles Foster's crass humor, his utter lack of respect for rules and an intensive interest in medicine. Charles was Cade's best and only friend and family up until he suffered a fatal brain tumor and passed away when Cade was in his final year of Starfleet academy.
It was one of the few times Cade Foster had let himself cry. In fact he sobbed, for hours, at the loss of the one person in his life that was a foundation of compassion. It literally took Cade Foster decades to rebuild that sort of stability in his life.
Cade graduated top of his class at the academy, won numerous academic awards, but he also drove his teachers insane and earned a long list of reprimands to go with his academic excellence. In his early years he had three times more transfers than the average officer because his personality was so abrasive. It was only through his genius IQ that he managed to achieve rank and department head status. Early in his career he lost his leg to a shuttlecraft crash, and during his service on the USS Patriot he had his heart replaced after contact with a viciously invasive alien toxin. After the surgery Cade Foster fell into a deep depression and struggled with alcoholism for well over a year before taking a medical leave before he retired from service for medical reasons.
He finally rehabilitated and resumed his commission on the USS Pendragon, serving with a crew he had worked with before. He found stability there but most strongly started the healing process when he decided to foster a young Andorian left to die in the snow on a primitive colony world. He had to get clean to formally request custody of the child, and had to build a support structure to be able to parent.
Cade Foster was formally allowed custody of Shar'Wyn Foster on 236704.25
He stabilized his life moving forward, serving on the Pendragon for nearly a decade until the Dominion War became too dangerous and he took his son back to Earth where he taught at Harvard Medical and Starfleet Academy for fifteen years. He renewed his commission in 2393 to assist his son Shar'Wyn Foster after a emotionally and physically traumatic injury threatened Wyn's life and sanity. He felt a debt owed to Captain Rajel for allowing him to freely come onboard and support his family and returned to the Constitution to repay that debt.
