- Grand Mother: Ara (She is 90 year old, and lives on SB118)
Appearance
- Well aware of his shortcoming as far as looks go, Brek compensates by making sure his uniform is always spotless and his hands perfectly manicured.
Personality
- Brek's attitude depends whether he is on duty or not. While acting as a diplomatic officer, he is tense and follows protocols to a fault.
- However, when he is off duty, his Ferenginess takes over, and he will often be loud and bad mannered.
- He has a slight speech impediment that crops up when he is upset. He then says things like: 'a nelephant' or a 'nerror' instead of the proper English way to pronounce those sorts of words.
Mannerism
- Quarters: Due to his tendency for hoarding, his quarters are often untidy.
- Favorite Room: A large and quiet conference room, where he has all the space for himself.
- Mannerisms: Brek often scratches his forearms when he finds himself in an uncomfortable situation. He also grins in an uncertain way when he realizes that his interlocutors aren't being entirely honest with him.
- Spiritual Devotion: He believes that the purpose of life is to amass as much material possessions as one can.
- Likes: He likes food, especially when it's a delicacy he has never tried before. He favors meals with fish and apple pies.
- Dislikes: He dislike violence, and he believes that every problem can be solved with latinum.
- Ambitions and Goals: To gain respect from his own people and prove to them that Starfleet is a viable option to become wealthy and respected.
- Achievements in Life: The fact that for almost two years, as a CDO, he was in charge of the Diplomatic Tower on SB118.
- Disappointments in Life: That his own people often think that is either a fool or a coward for being a diplomat.
- Temperament: He is usually easygoing and extrovert, but at the sign of danger he often becomes anxious (unless there is some latinum to be made on the side.).
Preferences
- Brek will eat virtually anything as long as it is edible.
- He has, however, discovered a strong dislike for mustard and horseradish.
- For breakfast he always has dry cereals. On those rare occasions where he feels that he has eaten too much, he restrict himself to eating yogurt.
Personal History
- He was born on Ferenginar to a family that has acquired its wealth selling Ferengi memorabilia to tourists and expats (reputed to be attracted to anything that glitters like gold).
- He was educated at the Korpa boarding school for young entrepreneurs, where he stayed between age 3 to 18.
- Following this long spell away from his native village, he felt estranged from his relatives and decided to leave Ferenginar altogether.
- After a few years, where he erred here and there, working for various mining operators, he developed a passion for geology and, aged 24, entered Starfleet Academy.
- Prior to joining Starfleet Academy, he spent some time on Risa, where he lost an inordinate amount of money in their casinos.
- Unfortunately, Brek wasn't really up to his father's standards and it is said among the family circle, that out of spite, he abandoned Ferenginar for StarFleet.
- He now receives little news from his parents, and expects that Kreb, his younger brother, will one day inherit the family's financial empire.
- He used to feel bitter because of this, but now he thoroughly enjoys the freedom and sense of discovery that StarFleet has given him.
- He is not entirely free of his family though: His 90 year old grandmother, Ara, lives on Starbase 118 and has a knack for disrupting his life. She likes to call him 'Little Beetle' when she has something to ask him, and 'Snout Beetle' when she is unhappy with him.
Quarters
- Brek's quarters seldom remain uncluttered, as he tends to buy a lot of items which he hopes to sell later on.
- For this reason, he rarely invite anyone to his place. He favors books, any kind of paraphernalia, painting and rare curios.
- He once referred to his quarters as a 'cabinet of curiosity'.
- Soon after his transfer to the USS Excalibur, he bought a copy of the famous Terran painting called : 'The Slave Ship' by William Turner.
- This Terran painting is exhibited in his bedroom. It is the one and only thing which, so far, he has bought for himself.
- It is in his quarters that Brek also keeps Alice, his pet spider.
Professional History
- 2378: Spent 6 months working as a bookkeeper for FenixCorps Mining Operation
- 2378 to 2384: worked in various mining operations in the Alpha Quadrant
- 2384: Entered Starfleet Academy as a science cadet. Performed poorly and was advised to change his path. He opted for a career in diplomacy.
- Specialization: Conflict Resolution and Inter-species Relations
- 2388: Upon graduation from the Academy, he was transferred to SB118 to serve as a Diplomatic Aid (Rank: Ensign)
- 238810.04: Promoted to Lt (jg) and Vice-Counselor
- 238901.31: Promoted to Lt and Chief Diplomatic Officer
- 238908.18: Promoted to Lt Cmdr
- 2390.08: Transferred to USS Excalibur A
- He works alongside his Aide : Ensign Jean Baptiste Dakarai (pnpc), an Ivory Coast native whose first language is French, and Ensign Gemma Irvine (pnpc), his secretary.
- He started his diplomatic career working on the formation of the Thracian Alliance, and to this day, remains dedicated to the Thracian/Romulan cause.
Hobbies & Pastimes
- He keeps a close eye on the financial market of the Trinity Sector, to follow the numerous shares he has acquired over the years.
- Ever since his years at the Academy, he has developed a strong liking for Earth food, and can often be found in lounges and mess halls, eating copious meals.
- He also has a keen interest in Terran literature, reading classic authors such as Shakespeare, W. S. Maugham and Stevenson.
- During his tribulations in SB 118's Diplomatic Tower, he adopted an Acamarian spider called Alice. She is red and black and is as large as a man's hand.
General Notes
- Although his relatives consider him to be a drop-out, Brek's utmost goal is to prove them wrong and, ultimately, create his own financial empire. In the meantime, he is 100% dedicated to his career within the Fleet.
- Most Ferengis tends to think that he lives like a human, yet Brek still leads a rather secluded life, where objects often have more importance than people.
