Ayeden Blake

Ayden Diego Blake is the 10 year old son of Starfleet Ranger Sky Blake and deceased Armory officer Sabor. He was born in 2391, and is of Vulcan, Brekkian and Betazoid heritage, and is the younger brother of Faith Blake.

With slightly pointed ears and brown eyes, Ayden is considered the spitting image of his father. However, he sports blonde hair, and is forming a ridge on his nose, courtesy of his Brekkian heritage. Due to the nature of his hybrid biology, he suffers frequently from lapses of energy, despite how his development should be progressing, and requires ongoing treatment to improve his quality of life - in comparison to his older sister, Ayden is considered quite timid. He is otherwise an active child (as much as he can be), curious in nature and constantly asking questions.

Shortly after Ayden was born, his mother underwent a surgery that left her with severe retrograde amnesia - she had next to no recollection of her two children, nor her husband. In denial, Sky found that bonding with Ayden was difficult. When she suffers a panic attack due to separation from him, the denial lifts somewhat, and she becomes closer to her newborn son.

Sabor dies in May of 2391, when Ayden is only 4 months old. A grieving Sky leaves Ayden and his sister Faith in the care of their grandmother, Lila Cole.

In 2393, Sky relocated Ayden and his sister to Ornara after a minor dispute with their grandmother, who had been looking after the two. They were then placed in the guardianship of Sabor's surviving siblings, Syb and Veusa. It was believed that this move was also safer for them, as Brekka had been in an ongoing state of civil war.

He was relocated to the USS Veritas in late 2394 to live with his mother, escorted to the ship by Zhou Tai-Sheng.
