Personal History
Early Years 2356 - 2375
As a child Brell was quite a handful always wanting attention in which his three parents could never give enough of to please him. He was good at his studies, always attentive when his parents, aunts and uncles were teaching. Usually the first to blurt out a question or comment often earning him the ridicule of his siblings and cousins. This caused him to become very a defensive boy and when he entered puberty his questions and comments began to skew to the sarcastic or lewd earning him the ire of adults in the family. At the age of fifteen Brell was caught shop-lifting from a shop in which he and his co-father had just made a delivery too. After they returned home his father yelled at the troubled teen for over an hour about how disappointed the family was in him and how is attitude had been destroying harmony built over generations. Brell slipped away from the family's underwater homestead in the dead of night.
Living on the streets he fell into a life of crime quickly as he was unable to use any terminal or replicator using his own credentials without leading his family to find him as soon as the data was logged. He stole whatever he could food to feed himself, trinkets, PADDs, even jewelry right off the wrists of unsuspecting tourists. Being a cocky youth he got into a fight with some local two bit thieves the fight ended when one pulled a blade and slashed Brell deep across his forearm. Injured Brell had to go to a hospital, lucky for him the parent they reached was his co-father Daro. Who pleaded with the misguided youth to return home. Cocky and still mad at his birth father Brell refused and vowed that he would never need any of them for anything again.
In the next six months Brell found himself gaining a reputation as the boy who could steal anything. He lived a comfortable life preying on tourists and those who didn't keep their PADDs close in hand. Then he was approached by the Orion syndicate who were in need of his talents. He quickly built up his worth to the syndicate obtaining whatever they asked him get, at whatever the cost, though he never found it necessary to harm anyone or cause much damage he would he would make his mark and get the goods usually without the person even noticing.
It was when he was tasked to break into the home of a Starfleet officer and steal a PADD containing information on upcoming raids that everything changed. He was to follow the officer's son Jason and use the boy to gain entrance. Brell tracked Jason to his home but the human saw him and ended up inviting him in eager to make new friends Brell almost went through with robbing him, instead the two boys ended up talking, and talking he opened up and when the boy's father arrived The man recolonized Brell from a security report nearly taking him into the civil police. Brell felt remorse for what he was sent to do, and gave himself up. Jason's father Lt. Ranson was Starfleet intelligence posing as a starfleet security officer, He took pity on the young Bolian and saw an opportunity, So instead of taking him in Ranson told him that if he helped uncover the syndicates operations on Bolarus, make amends to those he had robbed, and go home to his family that he would not be arrested. Bolian civil security forces gave their approval so long as he was in the custody of Starfleet security during the operation.
Brell did what he was told in fact he did it in record time, he returned all of the things he had stolen that he had yet to sell and worked off those things he could not return. He lived with Jason and his father while he worked to repay those the had wronged. Thanks in part to Brell's help Starfleet officers from the SB118 taskforce were able to arrest several members of the Orion syndicate, with precautions taken to make sure they could not trace the arrests back to him. It was time for the seventeen year old to return home. Lt. Ranson went with him that night and told his parents about what Brell had done and then what he had done to make amends. He was welcomed back into the arms of his teary eyed mother overjoyed that her son had finally returned. The next few years Brell spent with his family working with his co-father, and growing closer to his siblings, he and Jason kept in close contact.
Academy & First Starfleet Tour 2375 - 2384
When the Dominion War broke out, Betazed fell to the enemy and the Bolarus sector became a battle front, Brell wanted to enter Starfleet to defend his homeland but due to his past it took him some time to get approval to join. With Lt. Ranson's support he was granted a position in Starfleet academy During the final year of the war, it may have been starfleet was willing to give him a chance or that they were desperate for new recruits.
His years at the academy were a pleasure of work for the young man eager to serve. More than once he had been temped to switch sides to the Starfleet Marine Corps but he preferred the goal of keeping order in security to the notion of being on the front line. His minor in engineering proved to be something he had a real knack for as well he could get lost in specs for hours and actually enjoyed warp theory classes.
Shortly after being posted to the Federation Embassy to Duronis II Brell was promoted to Chief Engineer, though he had come to the Embassy as a security officer his quick thinking had caught the eye of the captain who moved him into engineering following the death of Ensign Cambell.
After an undercover mission to recover a Betazoid from the Zalkonian Embassy, Brell was given bad news his brother Vlenn and his wife had died in an accident on Bolarus. He was shocked even more when he was told that he was now the guardian of his his nephew Morin. When a short time later a shuttle crashed into the embassy on Duronis II, Brell sent his nephew home to the homeworld to live his grandparents.
After the closing of the Embassy and the expulsion of the federation from Duronis II, the crew was assigned to the Constitution-B. Brell was instead transferred to McKinley Station. While there he was part of a team of engineers overseeing the refit of the USS Galaxy. Starfleet felt this was the best way to grant the Bolian's request of learning more about the line. Brell found the time there very enjoyable and learned the class like the back of his hand. Shortly after resuming duty on the USS Constitution Brell was Honored by receiving the Barclay bead during a formal annual ball at SB118. On this same night he learned that his sister Greatha is engaged to Jo'van a family friend that he had worked closely with on his co-father shimmershells farm.
After a short period of time aboard sb-118 Brell found himself wanting to return to his roots. To go home and provide his nephew with more normal bolian upbringing. He gave his resignation to starfleet and returned home to Bolarus IX. Moving himself and his nephew into his families homestead between underwater city of Tragon and the Rasara mainland.
Civilian life 2384 - 2391
He took a job with his co-fathers company Daro's Shimmershells, and began overhaul of the shimmershell farm upgrading equipment and expanding the clam spires.
In this time among his family Morin finally and slowly came out of the shell he had been in since his parents death. He takes an interest in botany.
With the help of an old friend who was now stationed on DS9 he established trade with a Ferengi company, Lok's Specialty Food Markets. The expansion forced Brell's co-father the companies owner Daro to do something he never thought would be needed and had a office/warehouse complex built next to the spires leaving the four rooms the company occupied in the families underwater homestead empty for the first time in generations. Not to mention the two state of the line cargo subs to ferry the extra loads to the mainland spaceports. The company continued its expansion and even more farming spires were constructed. Its number of employees made up mostly members the extended family and clan this was due to clan call to settle put out by Daro. Though the adherence to clan leaders is considered an outdated tradition in modern Bolian society a great number of the families extended relations responded eagerly.
As the business expanded, and more members of the extended family began to erect additional modules to the original homestead and farm spires over the subsequent years. As of 2391 the structures have a capacity of supporting up to 3,000. Due to the homesteads location in a squat deep trench Brell introduced the idea of establishing a relationship university of Bolarus to study the region, with the company taking on most of the cost. The extended family saw this as working for the greater benefit of all a tenant of Bolian philosophy and embraced the idea. The university accepted citing the homestead's trench having exceptional current pattern and water quality and the little impact from the farming. Construction began on research outpost module. In thanks for the company supporting nearly all of the cost of the research outpost the university donated a entertainment module with holosuites and holomat as well as a few shop spaces.
After the research outpost was completed Brell began to spend more and more time there along with his adolescent nephew Morin. He grew close to lead oceanographer Lokax and his family inviting them to reside in the homestead's original habitat module. During this time he was introduced to the lead scientist's daughter Lyldra and her husband Hars Vlin. The three became fast close friends. Seeing Brell's curiosity of ocean biology and innate technical skill first hand Lakax recommended him to the university's renowned Oceanography and Exobiology program using his credentials from Starfleet academy to satisfy core class requirements. Leaving his position in the family company Brell dived into his studies, evolution of sentient species from aquatic beginnings was a particular interest, later becoming his specialty. He spent his time bearing the heavy work load of a Bolian college well, often spending time studying with Morin, Time in consul with Lokax and Even more often studying late into the night when with Lyldra and Hars.
As Brell neared the end of his third year of the graduate program he was knocked off his feet when his closest friends invited him to join their marriage saying they had never felt they would find someone they could be so comfortable with. Brell was over-joyed and the wedding was preformed weeks after. With Daro as the head of Brell's family, and Lokax being the head of Lyldra's family officiating the three's union.
Knowing the study of other worlds oceans and how they lead to bare life can only be truly studied in the field In 2391 with the support of his spouses he submitted his reenlistment to Starfleet.
Reenlistment 2391 - 2392
When he learned that he was not only to return to Duronis II as his first assignment, but that his former crewmate Toni Turner was now in command of the new embassy, he knew he had made the right choice to reenlist. Upon arrival he found out that the senior staff spent a good deal of time doing missions aboard the Uss Thunder-A. Meaning that the ship did not need a third science officer on the senior staff. The Bolian was first worried he was not going to get the chance to study the oceans of Duronis II, but Fleet Captain Turner and he were able to come to a arrangement. With his engineering, security and science backgrounds he would don a red uniform and become an HCO officer while also being given dispensation to lead a team in the underwater science lab 3 at the embassy. [[1]],[[2]]
Since joining the embassy crew Brell has settled in well to his new role of HCO officer aboard the Thunder. His first few weeks with the crew were spent vacationing on Trill then Ba’Ku. As she was on assignment on Trill his wife Lyldra joined him in the shore leave, she then found her way into the service of the embassy offering her help when their vacation was cut short unexpectedly. His first time in the pilot's seat was in the Briar patch while the ship was under duress that made for a kind of out of the frying pan into the fire experience. As soon as they were out of the patch the rescue mission took them into a dense asteroid field which he had to navigate in during a combat situation. After getting through all of that he feels like he could fly the ship through anything.
When the Thunder’s rescue mission wrapped up he finally stepped foot again on Duronis II. Til’ahn had always felt like a second home to him and the new embassy was just as if not more impressive as the old one had been. Upon arrival he was surprised to find that his co-husband’s posting to the underwater lab had already gone through while the Thunder had been away. [[3]] Later that same day at a formal gathering of the Embassy and USS Victory crews he was promoted to Lt. JG. [[4]]
With Lyldra now assigned to the embassy diplomatic team, his Co-husband Hars assigned to the embassy’s underwater lab, Til’ahn and the Embassy are starting to feel like home and more than just an assignment. He and his spouses feel they can build their lives together here living among the staff and as guests of the Laudean people.
After a short but eventful joint mission with the [USS Victory], Brell and Hars returned to the embassy where they were given the news from Lyldra that she was three weeks pregnant with the marriage's first child. Their Bolian traditions meant that soon the group and any children they have would either be joining Brell's extended family clan or would be joining Hars' family unit and taking the Vlin name as their own as was the custom in his home region of Bolarus. Tradition also stated that they would not learn the paternity until three days after the child's birth to ensure that the bond forms regardless of whom the birth father actually is. He did not care much about whether the child would be his or his co-husband's but he was also quite close to his family and the tight knit extended family he grew up with and knew they would be hoping he would be the father and his family would all be considered official members of his greater family. Though in modern times it was only ceremonial or by some considered antiquated to care about clan loyalty. Lyldra and her father held no bond with their clan generations ago becoming urban dwellers but to Brell his clan was just simply family he had always been around close cousins, distant cousins, aunts, uncles and their spouses it was all normal. He also knew they would still be his and his children's family even if their first child was Hars'. The embassy crew took shore leave and celebrated with a fish fry on the beach. Brell took over the cooking of the fish and spent his first day of leave going to the fish market fileting fish and mixing batters then frying it all up for his crew mates. After a quick swim with a few other officer he enjoyed the concert put on by musically inclined crew members one of whom was his otherwise shy co-husband Hars. After the performance he was pleasantly surprised to be called on stage along with Toni Lupo by Captain Frazier to receive a promotion he to full Lieutenant and his human friend to Lieutenant JG. The promotion being given to them by Frazier was fitting as the three had spent a good deal of time together recently working on the designs for the Captain's Miranda escort refit project.

- Hars Vlin and Brell first met when the University of Bolarus research module at his family's homestead was brought online. Hars' enjoyed the the homestead finding the underwater setting relaxing and that he could focus on his work much easier. Meeting someone here who he would eventually invite into his marriage was not expected. He, Brell, Lyldra, and Lalax spent a lot of time together both in the research lab and and at home as Brell's co-father had invited the science team to live in the main family's habitat module. When Brell started to attend the university himself Hars spent even more time with Brell and the two became even closer. It was Hars that proposed the idea the the three join together.
- Lyldra was just a happy married young bolian woman living among millions in the old capital and attending the University of Boralus' xenopolitical sciences program when her life changed forever. Her father and husband had both accepted a field posting to some underwater farming homestead and she would coming along to live there. It was almost culture shock for her to go from the big city life to living as one of only 2,000 bolians that dwelt there. As months past she found the smaller group had great unity and family ties, unity they bestowed upon her and her family as well. She and Brell spent a good deal of time together when he entered the university. Hours spent shuttling her and himself to and from the campus daily. It was during these times alone with him that she warmed to him and affection bloomed. When Hars asked her what she felt about expanding their marriage she knew instantly it was Brell that he was wishing to speak of. Her reply cut through to their shared love of another as she said. "Yes we should marry him."
- Toni Turner and Brell met as junior officers at the old embassy to Duronis II. Though they moved on to different assignments and lost contact after Brell left starfleet, his stories of his times at the embassy often featured their exploits and he remembered her fondly. When reenlisting and finding himself posted to the new federation embassy under the command of Then Fleet Captain Toni Turner, the two greeted each other as old friends and started to get to know one another again. Brell is proud of his friend and proud to served under her again. Since Transferring to the Darwin-A to be with Lyldra he tries to keep in touch with his former c/o.
- LtCmdr Didrik Stennes, Brell’s relationship with the Darwin’s counselor and second officer is complicated. The two grew close while the crew of Darwin was exiled on Turisan II quite close. Since then they have kissed twice and enjoyed a few secret rendezvous. Didrik somewhat overwhelmed by the complexities of Bolian relationships wished for them to take things slow but Brell anxiously awaits the day when they speak to his spouses about their affair.
- Brell first met Lupo when she reported aboard the Thunder during a rescue mission. They started to get to know one another when later in the mess hall he found her asleep at a table. This embarrassing moment for her had broke the ice and he much to her ire tends to remind her of it bringing it up at inopportune moments. The two often work closely as a former engineer himself and now HCO officer Brell is often willing to get his hands dirty when it comes to the ships propulsion systems. Having served together for several months seeing her quirky personality and brilliant mind he thinks of her as a spunky little sister.
- Nigel Barrett and Brell met just after being posted to the embassy to duronis II. As the newest officers joining the ship while on leave they spent many of their first days among the crew together. Brell enjoyed the human's sense of humor, company and the shared experience of being the new guys made the two form a quick friendship during the short time they served together.
Quarters
Brell’s quarters are located on deck six, aboard the USS Darwin-A. The Bolian family of five were granted larger quarters with two bedrooms and a larger living space. The most notable feature when a guest comes in is their kitchen area featuring a cooking unit with oven, a small counter next to the replicator, along with a four foot tall seawater tank that holds fresh growing seaweeds, and kelp from their homeworld. Brell can often be found there preparing meals for the family and guests. The space represented the three spouses well even with Lyldra and Hars establishing a residence on Outpost Unity. Brightly colored Bolian plants fill the rooms, many silk tapestries favored by Lyldra adorned the walls, dominating the seating space wall is a oil painting of the Daros’ll family underwater homestead, a model ancient Bolian houseboat stands on the on the coffee table as Brell's favorite reminder of Hars' when they are parted. Renu & Linalu’s nursery with it’s circular crib the twins share when aboard is filled with items given to them by the crew at the naming ceremony as well as some other things that had been sent from their families on Bolarus. The spouses bedroom was just large enough to fit their extended sized bed.
Interests and Hobbies
- Deep sea diving: What had once seemed like a fact of life for someone who grew up in an underwater homestead Brell has come to take pleasure in viewing underwater vistas and marine life in person and up close. This has also led to a developing interest in holophotography. He enjoys snapping images of his underwater excursions.
- Cooking: Another fact of life from his childhood that became a hobby and source of enjoyment to him. He usually cooks meals at home for his spouses when he is able, He will sometimes go out of his way to get to cook for groups of friends and crew mates.
- Boxing: After competing in the Embassy to Duronis II Boxing Tournament of 2383. He has kept practicing the sport though has never been quite able to master keeping his footing in check.
- Vectorboarding: Brell has his own Vectorboard which hangs in his above his bed when not in use. Though he rarely gets the chance to use it anywhere other than a holodeck due to the risk and the ire of his spouses.
