Evan Delano is a 28 year old Vulcan/Terran currently serving as a "civilian" advisor on board the USS Veritas, a ship assigned to the dangerous region known as The Shoals. Previously, Evan was a Starfleet officer serving on various vessels taking part in the Menthar Corridor expedition, including USS Garuda, and USS Invicta. He is currently considered on an indefinite leave of absence from Starfleet.

Evan has long struggled to balance his Vulcan and human halves, and this struggle has led to occasional emotional turbulence in his life. Of note, Evan pleaded guilty of assault, conduct unbecoming of an officer, and illegally using a Vulcan mind meld against an unarmed prisoner during a court martial in 2392. Evan was nearly expelled from Starfleet, but extenuating circumstances, and a previously sterling record, ultimately led to clemency. Although Evan tried to return to duty following this incident, Evan eventually asked for his Starfleet commission to be officially suspended. Several months later, he accepted an assignment from Federation Security to infiltrate, observe, and report on an illusive Vulcan splinter group called the Reya-Laialara.

• Raina: Ex-Fiance by an arranged marriage. Evan has released Raina from this agreement, though it was against her wishes.

Summary

Evan's parents met at a civilian engineering conference in New Berlin on Luna in 2365. Their meeting extended into a short-lived affair which ended when Evan's father, Kedall, confessed that he was married. Ashamed at what he saw as an "emotional outburst," Kedall returned to Vulcan and broke off all contact with Evan's mother. During his early years, Evan had a troubled childhood in which he struggled to control his erratic, sometimes violent emotional outbursts. He resented his stepfather and refused to accept his surname when he married his mother. Though Evan and his stepfather have since reconciled their differences, he continues to use his mother's maiden name. Evan's inability to control his emotions eventually got him into trouble after he severely injured another classmate over a minor altercation.

Evan was to be admitted to a juvenile rehabilitation center until Kedall intervened and offered to take him to Vulcan to be properly trained to control his emotions. Temporarily placed in the guardianship of his biological father, Evan lived on Vulcan for five years. Though he struggled to fit in just as he had on Earth, Evan learned to control his emotions through the use of basic Vulcan meditation exercises combined with his devotion to learning Suus Mahna, a defensive Martial Art.

After returning to Earth, he achieved academic success, though he still struggled to connect to many of his peers. At the urging of a teacher, a former starfleet officer, Evan applied for and was eventually accepted into Starfleet Academy.

Summary

Evan Delano, 2392

Evan entered the Academy as an engineering major in imitation of his civilian parents. He struggled to adapt to the rigorous academic requirements of the school and nearly washed out. The mentorship of Commander Tarla Dean gave him the tools he needed to recover, and at her urging, Evan transferred to the Security Department. He had to work harder than most to succeed, but excelled in combat and tactics training. He spent a considerable amount of his free time with the Academy's mixed martial arts club, which he used to fulfill his athletic participation requirement. Evan spent almost a full year on a cadet cruise aboard the USS Centaur where he was eventually promoted to Acting Chief of Security. He was briefly transferred to the Starbase 118 Academy campus to complete training aboard the holographic USS Centris-A. After graduating, he was commissioned to the USS Tiger-A as a security officer.

During the Iconian Gateway crisis of 2390, Fleet Captain Riley granted Evan a field promotion to Lieutenant (JG) and a new assignment as the chief of security. Evan was injured during an away mission and, upon his return to the Tiger, was forced to take medical leave for several weeks. By the time he'd been deemed fit to return to duty, Tiger was on route to receive a major refit. Evan was given a temporary reassignment to the USS Garuda following a recent refit. The Galaxy Class ship's tactical systems had recently undergone significant improvements, and Evan's combined experience in both Operations and Security made him an ideal candidate for the assignment. Evan only learned that his assignment was being made permanent when most of the crew of the USS Mercury was transferred to the Garuda.

Aboard the Garuda, Evan held a variety of posts, first as a helm officer, then as the assistant chief of security/tactical, and most recently as the head of the ship's small strategic operations department. Evan was assigned to the Chief of Security/Tactical position in 2391. In mid-2392, Evan was transferred to the USS Invicta along with all of the Garuda's senior staff, though Evan was relieved of duty shortly thereafter due to misconduct during a prisoner interrogation. Following a court martial, Evan was demoted to the rank of Lieutenant and sentenced to two years of bond, pending good behavior. Relieved of his duties as a department chief, Evan was assigned to serve as the ship's tactical operations officer. Shortly thereafter, Evan requested an indefinite leave of absence.

During this time, Evan was approached by Federation Security, who asked him to increase his contact with the Reya-Laialara with the ultimate goal of allowing him to join the enigmatic organization and report back on any suspicious activity. Evan accepted the assignment, and took the opportunity to join the organization at the end of 2392. Over the next few months, Evan sent back several reports before ultimately breaking off contact. He was quietly declared Missing in Action shortly thereafter.
