Maz Rodan is an enthusiastic and adventurous Trill. He loves exploring the universe and finds excitement in most things. He is bubbly and friendly, yet sometimes often self-reflective. Although he has been Joined since 2397, he is still coming to terms with the 'new' Maz. He enjoys sports, particularly basketball and hockey, and has a strong liking for Earth music and food. He's a lot laid back than other Trill, and enjoys socializing. He was born and raised in Mak'ala City, the capital city of Trill, and considers himself more cosmopolitan and open minded than Trill from other parts of the planet.
The eldest son of a family of typically 'ordinary' Trill, he opted to join Starfleet and see the galaxy rather than accept a position at the Trill Science Ministry. His father is curator at one of the largest museums in Mak'ala City and has an interest in history, while his mother is a nurse. His mother had strong reservations about his Joining, since Maz was the first of the Nevrons to be chosen to be an Initiate. She believes that after the Joining, Maz won't be the same son. The rest of his family were supportive of his Joining. His younger brother Aran is about to graduate high school and has expressed an interest in joining Starfleet.
Like most Trill, Maz is inherently bisexual, though has accepted that he is - and was before Joining - homosexual.
He graduated from the Academy with a major in Astrophysics and Astronomy, with a minor in Quantum Mechanics. He is fascinated with the workings of the universe and his biggest dream is to witness the birth of a star.
- Quarters: Generally tidy but with hints of disorganization.
- Habits: Drumming fingers. Has seemingly bottomless pockets, and pulls out a myriad of strange things, but mostly carrot sticks and chocolate bars. When asked where they come from, he nonchalantly replies with "Don't worry about it".
- Hobbies and Pastimes:
- He plays basketball, and supports the FBA team the Mak'ala City Mavericks. He also supports the FHL hockey team Mak'ala Rangers.
- Enjoys Earth music, such as jazz and rock and roll. He is attempting to learn to play the saxophone.
- Holoadventures.
- Watching F1 Shuttle Racing.
- He has a novice level interest in botany.

Raffi Rodan
Third Host
The Third Host of Rodan, Raffi was an eccentric musician bon vivant who enjoyed the music and culture of various Alpha and Beta Quadrant races. He picked up Shona's sharp tongue and penchant for arguments, and met his fate at the end of a dak'tagh in a Klingon dive bar in his late-forties in 2353.

Jareth Rodan
Fourth Host
Jareth was a noted Starfleet Officer. He served on several starships in his career and saw action in the Borg Invasion of 2373, and The Dominion War. While exploring uncharted space in 2397, Jareth was infected with a deadly and unknown disease, which proved terminally fatal. He requested to return to Trill to die, where he could meet the future Initiate to have the Rodan Symbiont, and pass along some advice. That Initiate was Maz.

Early Life
- Childhood: Maz had a typical childhood, living and exploring Mak'ala City. He learned about Trill science and history by hanging out in the museum his father works in. He was an only child until the age of 8, and became a protective and supportive older brother.
- Education: Bright and outgoing, Maz excelled in school and attended both primary and secondary school on Trill. He attended Starfleet Academy on Earth.
- Joining: With the expediency of having to re-Host Rodan, Maz was surprised to be called back to Trill in an emergency to be Joined. He was able to speak to Jareth before he died, and the older Starfleet Officer passed along some advice prior to him being Joined.
- Starfleet: It was always Maz's intention to join Starfleet. He was accepted to the Trill Science Ministry as a junior scientist, but wanted to see the galaxy instead. His previous Host - Jareth - was a Starfleet Officer and so the role comes naturally to him. Maz was already an Ensign serving on the USS Dickens when he was Joined in 2397.
