Interests
Ferengi Energy Whips
Cogud started training with Energy Whips when he was seven years old, one of the Ferengi crewman of the the smuggling vessel Jorus was living on was well trained withing the area of the energy whip and so brung it upon himself to teach Jorus how to use the weapon. From the beginning Jorus Cogud showed promise within using the whip and Jorus continued his practice long after he left the vessel.
Now Cogud is a professional in using the whip and practices whenever he has a spare moment.
Marauder Mo action figures
Cogud began collecting them when Zug gave him one as a gift, Zug urged Cogud to keep them in there original packaging as they will be worth more, Cogud now has no intention of selling the figures and keeps them as a possession to remind him of his upbringing on the Ferengi vessel.
Motor Racing
During his time at the academy Cogud was introduced to a motor race from old earth known as formula 1 in the holosuite, Cogud enjoys the sport immensely and whenever he has holodeck time the sport is his choice of preference. Cogud has been known to try the sport with safetys off. This led to a dislocated shoulder blade and a caution to never switch off holodeck safteys from a Doctor.
Dabo
Cogud learnt to play Dabo when he was 12 aboard the smuggling vessel he grew up on, Zug and his Uncle both taught him how to play, Cogud became quite good at the game and won a lot of latinum from playing. His interest in the game continued through his time at the academy and whenever he gets a chance to play he will

Neron Cogud
Cogud's father is a simple and almost honest trader, before Jorus was born he had a shop on a federation station which he had had for 2 years, he was a successful business man however he had some dealings with the Orions Syndicate leading to him eventually selling them a faulty ship he had in his possession for a little extra latinum. The ship inevitably blew up. The Orions came after Neron threatening to kill him, luckily Neron's brother Darzen Cogud was near at the time, he manged to get Neron and his wife Fenna off the station before the Orions came for him. Darzen took them to his friend Zug, a Ferengi smuggler who happened to have a ship big enough for the Coguds to take shelter in for however long was needed. When Jorus was born on the vessel Neron decided it would be safer if he and his family where to stay on Zug's ship, he acted as a member of the crew. After a year Zug heard that the Orions that where hunting him had been arrested. He took his family to Trill where he set up a small honest business selling assorted items to Federation tourists who came to the Trill home world. A few years later news traveled to Neron that the Orions who where hunting him had been released, certain he was safe Neron stayed until the last minute (So late in fact that the Orions where on the surface coming to his home at one point) he was again rescued by Darzen who again took the Cogud's to Zug. Neron again had to pose as a member of the crew in order to keep safe aboard the ship but came close to Zug and the other Ferengi on board.
When news that the Orions hunting him had been killed Neron left Zug's ship and bought a ship of his own, using it to travel from planet to planet selling assorted items. He trained Jorus in the arts of trading and piloting. When Jorus announced that he was going to join Starfleet Neron was initially disappointed hoping that Jorus would continue as a trader like himself. Eventually he began to accept Jorus' decision and began training his second son into the arts of trading. Neron still runs the business and still trains his second son Senon in the arts of business.
Personal History
Jorus Cogud was born on a Ferengi smuggling vessel while his Father and Uncle were "Working" for a short while, his father, uncle and mother had to leave on short notice due to a disagreement with some unhappy customers. Jorus' father Neron was an accomplished merchent and his mother used to be a teacher before she married Neron. Jorus' uncle was a different story, Darzen Cogud was a conman, but despite his criminal dealings, Neron felt a duty towards his family, over the law. The Ferengi captian, Zug, was a good "friend" of Darzen and allowed them safe passage until their customers had accepted that there was no guarantee.
Jorus spent the first year of his life aboard the vessel, still keeping in contact with Zug to this day, after a year on the run Neron and Darzen decided it would be safe to return to Trill. For three years Trill was Jorus' home he lived happily with his mother and father, enjoying all the thrills of a young child but on his first day of school his father was on the run again. He had unknowingly sold the Orion Syndicate a faulty computer core for their ship, and the Orions wanted their money back, plus "interest." Neron quickly contacted Darzen to pick them up from Trill to help them escape. Darzen "came to the rescue" and they were able to escape Trill without detection from the Orions. Darzen again contacted the Ferengi Zug and asked for refuge on his ship. Zug reluctantly agreed and the family moved onto the Ferengi Vessel.
Jorus grew up on the Ferengi ship, his uncle became his mentor teaching him the tricks of being a conman, some of the Ferengi's on board taught Jorus how to read using the rules of acquisition and his father taught him maths, science etc. When Jorus was eight his mother gave birth to Jorus' younger brother Senon, who became a friend to Jorus. Jorus taught Senon the things his uncle had taught him. Jorus lived on the Ferengi ship until he was 14, that's when his family found out that the Orion's hunting his father had been arrested so they could return to Trill, however the family had grown a custom to living on a ship so his father bought a small ship big enough to live in for the family. Darzen left to continue his work and Jorus lived with his family until he was eighteen. On board the ship Jorus learnt the ins and outs of piloting the ship, he also gained an interest in Starfleet. When Jorus was seventeen he told his father what he wanted to do with his life, and his father unwillingly agreed. Jorus started studying everything he would need to get into the academy. When he was eighteen he was accepted into the academy.
After graduating the academy Cogud was assigned the the USS Discovery-C, on his first mission he was infected by a deadly plague which only the shapeshifter Zero could cure.
