Arion was born on Bajor during his parents’ service as humanitarian volunteers on the planet and in Cardassian space. His mother, while originally a paramedic and rescue worker, gradually started teaching science as the humanitarian situation in Bajor improved so she could spend more time with her children. His father was sent to Bajor as an agricultural consultant and also gained a reputation for his music, though his vital skills for the reconstruction efforts often drew him away from his family for long periods of time. His sister had developed a knack for martial arts by the time Arion was born and the two shared a close bond despite their age difference. | Arion was born on Bajor during his parents’ service as humanitarian volunteers on the planet and in Cardassian space.

Arion was an unexpected though not unwelcome addition to his family and spent much of his childhood on Bajor. In early 2382, his mother was killed by Cardassian extremists during an otherwise routine humanitarian mission to their space. While his memory of her steadily faded, the loss left an enduring impression on Arion and increased his dependence on his sister as a parental figure. His father did his best to step in as Yadzin's Starfleet training and duties drew her away. The family returned to Trill with Bajor’s admission to the Federation. His sister had by then graduated as a security officer and used the opportunity to apply to | Arion was an unexpected though not unwelcome addition to his family and spent much of his childhood on Bajor.

Life on Trill was quite the culture shock for Arion who had grown accustomed to at least the concept of equality between sentient beings that simply wasn’t plausible in a society boasting a social elite with centuries of experience. While at first taking matters in stride, spending much of his time shyly tinkering with technology, his sister’s joining changed the course of his life. A previously close companion and idol seemed to become a stranger to him, though how much of that perception was down to changes in her behaviour or Arion's fears of losing out to the Symbiont in her estimation is difficult to say. The experience left Arion suspicious of the joining. | Life on Trill was quite the culture shock for Arion who had grown accustomed to at least the concept of equality between sentient beings that simply wasn’t plausible in a society boasting a social elite with centuries of experience.
