Talos was assigned as Hal's roommate in the USS Blackwell's Junior Officer's quarters. They get along fairly well, but Talos thinks that Hal might not always be very amused with his antics.

FRIEND/CONTACT

AITAS
Talos first encountered Aitas at Captain Whittaker's promotion ceremony, where the gorgeous and enigmatic Intelligence Chief drew his attention immediately. He quickly volunteered to give her a tour of DS26's worst dive-bars. The pair hit it off and spent the evening chatting and flirting over drinks, discovering that they had more in common than they might have thought. Talos enjoyed the time he spent with her very much and looks forward to the next time their paths cross.


PERSONAL HISTORY

Talos was born to Vostro and Leera Dakora on 236401.29. The son of a Betazoid political attaché and an interior designer, Talos Dakora enjoyed a normal upper-middle-class Betazoid childhood with his younger brother Hanek. From an early age he possessed an intelligent and inquisitive nature; a desire to know not only what and how things happened, but why as well. This became a problem as his Betazoid telepathy developed, as Talos was often scolded for 'listening' in on the thoughts and emotions of others without their permission. Growing up Talos was very close to his mother, owing largely to the fact that Vostro was often off-world on various diplomatic expeditions for long periods of time. In 2373, Vostro and Leera unofficially separated (an uncommon thing in Betazoid culture.). The reasons behind the split were not openly discussed, but shortly after, when Talos was introduced to his half-Terran sister Adara Bentley who was already a few years old, he was able to put two and two together.

In 2374 Talos' life changed forever. When the Federation forces defending Betazed were defeated and the Dominion descended on the planet, the Betazoid people were prepared for the worst. However, due to the Federation efforts elsewhere, the Dominion presence on the planet was never more than the minimum required to maintain a hold on the strategically important world. For most Betazoids life on occupied Betazed went on similarly to how it always had. The Dakoras were not so lucky. Vostro who was off-world at the time of the invasion, tried to use the political back-channels available to him to aid the resistance on Betazed. One of his transmissions was intercepted and Leera Dakora was tortured and killed by Jem'Hadar enforcers in response. Talos, only 10 years old at the time, and Hanek witnessed it all.

This was a pivotal moment for Talos. One that, in many ways, influenced the man that he would become. Eventually, Betazed was liberated and the orphaned Talos and Hanek went to live with their maternal grandmother until the war ended and they could be reunited with their father. Talos never forgot the feeling of utter helplessness as he watched his mother taken from him and vowed to do everything in his power to never feel that way again. As soon as he came of age, Talos enlisted in the Starfleet Marine Corps, hoping that he could do his part to ensure that atrocities like his never happened to anyone else.

PROFESSIONAL HISTORY

After his enlistment in the Starfleet Marine Corps, Talos rose through the ranks at a slow, but steady pace. His innate tactical sense and a strong desire to constantly learn and improve himself separated Talos from the rank-and-file.

Through hard work and determination fueled by his own personal experience, Talos managed to gain a spot in the SFMC's prestigious 1st Reconnaissance Battalion Force Recon Company (FORECON). He served on various ships and bases throughout his 7-year as an enlisted man, participating in numerous direct action and reconnaissance missions with FORECON. In 2391, Talos was selected as part of a Starfleet Mustang program and was admitted to Starfleet Academy, where he focused on mainly PERS-INT, direct action Intelligence, and Counter-Intelligence.

After graduation, Talos went on to serve on several ships before his seemingly promising career took a turn. In late 2395 Talos went A.W.O.L. from his duty post on the Columbia. His formal deposition explaining his dereliction of duty may be requested from Starfleet Intelligence by his future Commanding Officers but a brief summary is included here. In late 2395, Troyan Bentley (Talos' half-sister Adara Bentley's teenage brother.) went missing after getting mixed up with drug smugglers out of Tilanna V. Talos claims to have left his post in order to locate and return Troyan Bentley to his family. Once Bentley was returned to his family, Talos turned himself in to Starfleet Security and was stripped of his commission and served time at a punitive posting.
