Born to Josiah Bartholomew Whittaker- a former dean of Tucker's Landing University- and Madeline Fatima Whittaker (neé Carson)- a Starfleet officer- Theo Whittaker grew up a well educated and well spoken young man. Attending the best schools on Archer IV, he was expected to comport himself accordingly under the strict rules of his father whom he lived with full time while his mother served in Starfleet. Never the less, he inherited his mother's rebellious nature and often clashed with his uptight, privileged father who expected his only child to continue the family tradition of a career in the academic world. In an open act of defiance, Theo chose to follow in his mother's footsteps and enroll in Starfleet. The decision led to a rift between father and son which had not healed by the time of Josiah's death during Theo's second year attending [[Starfleet Academy]]. | Born to '''Josiah Bartholomew Whittaker'''- a former dean of Tucker's Landing University- and '''Madeline Fatima Whittaker''' (neé Carson)- a Starfleet officer- Theo Whittaker grew up a well educated and well spoken young man.

[[File:20080815parkstreet(1).png|thumb|Theo Whittaker's childhood home.]]During his teenage years, Theo spent two months every year living with his mother aboard the ''U.S.S. Sparrow'', a Starfleet patrol ship assigned to the 'core worlds' of the [[United Federation of Planets|Federation]]. While his mother did appreciate her husband's wishes for Theo to follow in his footsteps, she also privately believed that her son should be allowed to make his own choices and thus did not oppose Theo's decision to enter Starfleet Academy. While she stood publicly by her husband, Theo was never the less aware of his mother's true feelings. | [[File:20080815parkstreet(1).png|thumb|Theo Whittaker's childhood home.]]During his teenage years, Theo spent two months every year living with his mother aboard the ''U.S.S.

Theo enrolled at Starfleet Academy at the age of eighteen, studying on the Engineering track and specializing in warp mechanics and theory. For the most part he was a model student, with only one near infraction when caught breaking back into the Academy grounds after curfew (he talked his way out of punishment). In his 2nd year he was involved in a bar fight but no disciplinary action was taken due to the fact he responded in self defense and he had recently lost his father. He graduated following a final exam at the training facilities aboard [[Starbase 118]]. | Theo enrolled at Starfleet Academy at the age of eighteen, studying on the Engineering track and specializing in warp mechanics and theory.

He came aboard the ship and was put to work straight away as a rogue AI commandeered partial command of the ship. He was the first to suggest treating the AI as a life form as it displayed a personality and was present when it was discovered that the AI had a humanoid as its core. | ||
