Donturr greeted the Ensign after he arrived to Dehner Base, after being rerouted there. The Benzite showed him to temporary lodging, and Artinus volunteered to help around the base while he waited for the Columbia.
Artinus first met Jona in the Gymnasium where the two men bonded over Klingon Opera. Since then, the two have each shared a holodeck program with the other.
The second and final child of a fairly elderly couple, Artinus had the advantages and disadvantages of having retired parents. His brother Marius was nearly an adult when he was born. When not in school in the city of Roma, his family had the luxury of traveling the planet of Roma. And he became accustomed to both the city, and country lives both equally. His family was not ruch, but well off enough to furnish a comfortable, yet semi-nomadic lifestyle. Artinus was a good enough student, while he did just fine in academic courses, he excelled in physical pursuits, winning many accolades in wrestling in particular. When he graduated secondary school, Artinus applied to the Starfleet Academy to follow the family tradition of public service.Instead of joining the diplomatic corps like his father and mother had, he chose to pursue the security services like his brother had.
The Academy
In the Academy, Artinus continued his past pattern of being an acceptable student, but an excellent athlete. Now he could explore many forms of individual and team sports that were not particularly popular on Magna Roma. But with with security training being what it is, he continued to be a prime wrestler, as well as learning more varied forms of martial arts. He developed a rather stringent workout routine to supplement the Academy's official physical training regiment, carefully crafting it to balance strength, endurance, and flexibility. Upon graduation Artinus was one of the more decorated athletes in Academy history.
Dehner Base
After a core breached killed five Columbia crewmen, Ensign Serinus was rerouted to Dehner Base to await a safe passage to his assigned ship.
Service aboard the Columbia
Artinus was part of the defense working group for the expedition to Safe Harbour. He was the one who discovered the drill on the Ya-Grhan vessel. Modifying his holodeck strategic simulation for space combat, he guided the other members of the team through several simulations to help them determine the right strategy. Upon arrival at Safe Harbour, Ensign Serinus was selected as a member of the away team to go on the diplomatic mission to the ESPers on the planet. While the away team was escorting the locals to the nearby cave system, he intercepted a strange panther-like creature with a stringer on it's tail. He kicked it in the jaw, before the ESPers used their powers to hurdle it into the air, and make it kill itself with repeated stings from it's own tail. Afterwards, they were ambushed by a squad of Ya-Grhan infantry. Using cover fire from local defenders, and tactical maneuvering, Artinus was able to pick them off one by one. Reuniting with his Columbia colleagues, he made sure that the local ESPer population had access to the classic tomes on guerilla warfare.
Service aboard the Eagle
Arriving at the Eagle, just in the aftermath of an attack by cultists, Ensign Serinus, alongside fellow Columbia transfers Kano Risha and James Colquhoun, reported immediately to the bridge, and were put immediately to work.
