	Relationships

PERSONAL

Identification Name Visual Background Information Sarinae (29) Former girlfriend | Artist - Stratos, Ardana Sarinae, Savan’s first serious romantic interest Savan met Sarinae, the daughter of an Ardanan representative to the Federation Council, in philosophy class during his junior year of high school. After spending much time over the following summer, the two began to date. Initially, Savan had a challenge in opening up to her, but he eventually relaxed and became himself. The relationship went very well but ended after she returned to the capital city of Stratos to continue her education. Though they maintained contacted for a year, they fell out of touch and have not spoken for 10 years. However, Savan still remembers her fondly and credits Sarinae for showing him to not being afraid of his feelings. Recently, a high school classmate told Savan that Sarinae is now a respected artist on Ardana and still single. Irian (33) Current career unknown | Location unkown Irian, a Deltan who was an exchange student at the University of California During the beginning of his junior year at university, Savan became drawn to a Deltan exchange student, Irian. The two spent a significant amount of time over a few months, discussing a variety of topics and often exploring the surrounding wilderness , and Savan later expressed his feelings and how he wanted to turn the relationship into something more. While not under an Oath of Celibacy—only required for Deltans in Starfleet and other kinds of similar interstellar posts—Irian chose to not turn the relationship into a romantic one despite his desire to do so–especially as he was uncertain how contact with a Deltan would affect a Vulcan as sensitive as Savan. Nevertheless, Savan was deeply effected by the experience and Irian’s subsequent return to Delta IV, which, along with other occurrences, made him decide to take a semester off. Savan still has often vivid dreams of Irian, but he finds them overwhelming and discusses them with absolutely no one. He has considered looking for Irian at times but has chosen to focus on his career in Starfleet. That said, Savan is unsure and, perhaps, even afraid of what might happen should he meet Irian again. Gnaeus Aelius Galeo (26) T’hy’la | Starfleet Cadet - San Francisco, California, Terra Gnaeus Aelius Galeo, a Starfleet Cadet from Magna Roma While Savan’s intense schedule at the Academy left little free time, Savan did develop a particularly close relationship with a cadet from Magna Roma, Gnaeus Aelius Galeo, who was in training to become a marine. Several cadets thought the two were romantically attached, but both insisted their relationship was a fraternal one. While they were rarely seen together at social events, they were usually only seen together sparring or training in the gymnasium or in the mess hall after all. The only time they spent together off campus were on hikes and one short trip during a break to see Roman and Greek ruins in the Mediterranean. Galeo also taught Savan the basics of Magna Roman military physical training. For a long time, Savan did not know how to define their relationship, which was closer and more important than a regular friendship, even a strong one like he has with John Torres. When Savan explained the situation to his adopted father Torin, Torin suggested the Vulcan term th’y’la, which was probably not taught to Savan since his Vulcan education stopped so early. Torin did make note of the word’s ambiguity, as th’y’la can mean "friend," “brother," or “lover.” Eventually, Savan told Galeo how he appreciated their friendship and explained the word th'y'la to him. To Savan's surprise, the Magna Roman smiled and offered that there was actually similar word, erostoïs, that developed in one of his planet’s prominent ancient cultures—one very similar to Ancient Greece on Terra. It is still used today, added Galeo. Since then, in private, Savan refers to Galeo as his th'y'la, while Galeo calls him his erostoïs. In a sense, the relationship remains a mystery to Savan, as it touches a part of him so deep he can barely understand it. He does know, however that he would sacrifice himself without question to save Galeo if his th’y’la’s life were ever in changer. Savan keeps remains in touch with Galeo and keeps his picture next to his family mementos. Galeo will finish his marine training and graduate from the Academy over the next year. Savan secretly hopes they can be posted together. Savan's best friend John Torres has tried a few times to express his thoughts on what Savan's relationship to Galeo actually is, but Savan has cut him off every time. It's the one topic where Savan will not take his friend's advice. Torres gave up eventually and decided to let Savan figure things out for himself, though he thinks the nature of their real relationship, though still unfulfilled, is clearly obvious. Vresan (22) Former subordinate in cadet training group | Starfleet Cadet - San Francisco, California, Terra Vresan, a Starfleet Cadet from a Romulan background - San Francisco, California, Terra Vresan is the daughter of Romulan refugees, who, despite many challenges, was admitted into Starfleet Academy. During Savan’s final year, he was assigned to oversee her first-year training group of cadets. The two felt an immediate attraction that was for awhile left unspoken. Eventually, Vresan told Savan that he had the likeness of a great Romulan war hero whom she had always dreamt of meeting. Given the intensity of the attraction, the two briefly considered starting a relationship. But both have a strong sense of duty and discipline and decided against it, as it would be a distraction to their professional relationship. Before Savan left the Academy, Vresan told him in private, “We may be creatures of duty, but in the near future, we will no longer need to be concerned about regulations." She then reached her index and middle finger held together and touched his. “And one day soon, I will find you.” Savan smiled.

Different destinations, years, relationships, but they still share that friendship that leaves the uniform behind, one that could make Marcus travel thousands of light years if she needed it.

Della Vetri was the captain of the USS Avandar where he's posted as First Officer as Lt. Commander. She was T'Lea's fiancee and later married to her. Those two events, made him know her quite well and he'd developed a feeling of familiarity with her to the point that when he's transferred to the Discovery-C she was the first commanding officer he'd given a hug and considered her a friend for life.

Anora Manar had served with him in up to three ships and they've forged a relationship that has trespassed the boundaries of professional work.
