Ferier was Groznins best friend at the academy, they often talked over subspace while posted on different ships but now serve on the Gorkon together so hope to make the friendship work on a more personal level.

Groznin has a Crush on Erin although he hasn’t told her that he likes her that way yet. He hoped at anything they can at least be friends
Born in London, England too StarFleet officers Raymond & Marcelle smith, Groznin a 3/4 human 1/4 denoublan never really fit in. He grew up moving from planet to planet as his parents got re assigned but spent most of his adolescence on DS9. While on DS9 he grew to know A Klingon Family well especially Upex son of T’Kula. He gained Upex’s trust and entered a blood oath to protect Upex’s son if anything was ever to happen to him and his wife. Sadly this became a reality, The rival Klingon House Of Morik killed Upex and his wife Apoll while they were travelling back to DS9 after a diplomatic mission for the federation.
Groznin’s parents didn’t like the fact that he had agreed to take Jang in, harbouring a deep-seated distrust and dislike of Klingons, after they lost close friends during the Klingon-Federation War of 2372-2373. Seeing their son's embrace of Klingon culture through the Blood Oath as a betrayal of their friends' sacrifice and memories, they disowned him. Despite this, Groznin held true, knowing that his friend Upex was respectable and honourable, such as many aboard DS9 thought of General Martok.
Groznin fulfilled his blood oath by adopting Jang, they moved back to earth, and lived with Groznins Denobulan Great grandparents. They realised what this meant to Groznin and what a blood oath meant, they wanted to help Groznin fulfil this oath he had took part in. Jang was enrolled in the Klingon school of honour on earth so he could still learn the ways of a Klingon as his parents would have wanted so when he’s old enough if he wishes he can join the KDF or StarFleet such as his adoptive father.
During his time in the Academy Groznin mainly focused on his security courses, but during his down time attended some of his friends Astronomy lectures as he was very much interested in Astronomy, after the first few lectures, the admiral in charge of the course went to Groznin and told him that he had potential but wouldn’t be able to continue going to her classes unless he formally enrolled in the Astronomy course. Wanting to continue going the various classes, he enrolled in the course and enjoyed attending it, to his surprise he finished the course earning himself a Major in Astronomy. He didn’t think he’d come out of the course with anything let alone a major so he was very pleased. The admiral who told him to join the course was even prouder kfnGroznkn congratulating him herself personally.
Groznin was originally posted to the Andaris Task Force to serve on the USS Blackwell, but after a rough start on the Blackwell Groznin decided to put in a transfer request, this was accepted and was then reassigned to the USS Gorkon.
As soon a Groznin stepped aboard the Gorkon he knew he’d like it, it was much more spacious than the Blackwell and after checking the cre roster was pleased to find his friend from the academy Ferier Lanta was a member of the crew. When he eventually found him during shore leave aboard the Cloud skipper they instantly were talking about the academy and how they were friends to other members of the Gorkon. That same day they went to the jumping platform on the cloud skipper (where shore leave was taking place) and took part in a jump, it was an exhilarating expirence that Groznin wanted to take part in again some day. Jang also settled in well and plans to join the ships school, Groznin was welcomed as a crew member straight away which gave him a sense of belonging, this made him feel good about his career choice.
