Aron Kells
Position Commanding Officer
Rank Captain
Species Human/Romulan
Gender Male
DOB 235412.20
Age 46
Birthplace Spirit, Mars

Aron Caleb Chassigne-Kells, commonly known only as Aron Kells, is an officer of the Federation Starfleet. Known for his scientific work with epigenetics and extinction rehabilitation, he has been the subject of two temporal accidents throughout his career, and served as a civilian scientist briefly until called into service again at the behest of Starfleet. Since June 2392, when it was announced during President Nan Bacco's State of the Federation Address, Kells has commanded the high-profile starship USS Invicta.


OOC note: Captain Kells is played by the same writer who writes for Fleet Captain Cassandra Egan Manno of Astrofori One. He uses Egan Manno primarily OOC (as Cadet Steward, for example) and as a supporting presence for Astrofori One and the Invicta, and Kells more as a primary character IC.

Friendships & Other Important Relationships

  • Saveron and Aron have had an important relationship since Aron first took command of the Mercury in 2389. When Aron suffered an apparent temporal accident the following year that left him in an older body, the relationship between the two grew into a mutual respect grown from their long lives. Now, with Saveron back under Aron's command on the Invicta, both rely upon each other more than either cares to admit.
  • Quinn Reynolds was Aron's first starship captain (after his time on Zosma Station). She has been assigned to the Menthar Corridor as the region's intelligence director since the days of the Mercury and Aron, though he's come and gone from his own captaincy, considers her an important ally and, occasionally, a friend.
  • Alora DeVeau was assigned as a young science officer under Aron's first command and helped him make several important breakthroughs in discovering and coming to terms with the fact of his partially Romulan heritage. Since his return to the fleet, first as a civilian and then as an officer, she has been steadfastly supportive of him.
  • Roshanara Rahman was Aron's chief of engineering aboard the Mercury and, despite leaving Starfleet in the wake of Harrison Ross's defection, Aron convinced her to serve concurrently with the Starfleet Corps of Engineers and as his first officer due to his familiarity and comfort with her command style. The two rarely see eye-to-eye, but theirs is an effective, usually efficient working relationship.
  • Nic del Vedova and Aron are old friends from their Academy days, though they were initially only acquaintances and only became better friends afterward, when their work brought them closer together. Del was especially alienated by the latter of Aron's two temporal accidents; he didn't recognize very much of his friend in the older man's body. Since Aron's return to command in the Menthar Corridor, Del hasn't seen much of his old friend, though that may change in the future....
  • Arden Cain was Aron's first executive officer and, like Aron, came from a background as a science officer. The two developed together well a bond of respect; that bond was strong enough that the older Kells doppelganger sought out Arden when he was on the run from the disabled Mercury -- though where the doppelganger went from that meeting, no one seems to be sure.
  • Didrik Stennes and Aron evolved a complicated romantic relationship after Aron's first accident and his ill-advised admission to Didrik that the two had been in a relationship in that Aron's future. Though they attempted to begin a relationship then, and maintain it after Aron had transferred, the romance did not last.
  • Sinda Essen has the dubious distinction of being the first person Aron met as an officer aboard a Federation starship: Immediately after arriving on the Drake, he invaded her personal space by performing an unauthorized scan upon her; he was fascinated by her hybrid biology. Despite this, the two developed a strong friendship after Aron invited Essen to his Romulan grandfather's trial; in this moment of vulnerability, he offered himself up as in need for a good friend.
  • Andrus Jaxx and Aron never worked together aboard the same ship, but the former officer acted as Aron's good friend, confidante, and mentor as a captain
  • Kali Nicholotti was Aron's first and only commanding officer when he served as executive officer, and he found (surprisingly) that his more cowboyish tendencies were on display during his tenure ... yet it seems that these same qualities endeared him to her, and the two developed a friendship following Aron's promotion to commanding officer.


Pre-Service History

Aron Kells is the third child of an ex-officer and a now-deceased actress, both of whom gained marginal success in their respective careers. Bridget Kells helped the young holopic industry on Mars move into its own as a leading lady, and John Joseph Buckingham successfully tested three new Starfleet fighters, one of which he had helped design. Aron and his brother and sister never wanted for much as children, and so he grew up to be rather privileged. He possesses the intelligence to back up a certain arrogance, though the unequal ground between "moderately successful" and "smashingly popular" seems, to him, to be quite irrelevant. In short, he is most unproven, though eager to get on with the proof.


Academy & Zosma Station

Aron proceeded through the Academy at the normal age and graduated after a year aboard the explorer USS Tesla on a survey of the reaches of the Beta Quadrant, where he worked to catalogue the genetic and epigenetic makeups of strange new creatures.


USS Drake & Starbase 118

Following the cruise, he was assigned to the USS Drake and rapidly found his element receding. Despite his initial reluctance aboard a non-explorer, Aron soon began to adapt to life aboard the Drake; but not even a year after his assignment, he experienced the first of two temporal accidents that would result in a change in his appearance and the doubling of the number of Arons in Kells' head.

  • 238804.11: Assigned to the USS Drake as a science officer.
  • 238807.24: Participates in the capture of the Infernal.
  • 238808.04: Discovers the tetryon sandbars when the Drake and its convoy is unexpectedly beached.
  • 238808.16: When the Infernal escapes aboard the Drake, Aron assists in his recapture.
  • 238808.27: Aron and Sinda Essen attend the sentencing trial for the Infernal on Vulcan.
  • 238809.14: Aron and Sinda are kidnapped by the again-escaped Infernal; the Infernal reveals to Aron that he assisted his grandmother to create the Jaborrhik race and that the entire scenario was a massive experiment. The Infernal intimates that he is Aron's grandfather.
  • 238810.04: Aron discovers that the Infernal was correct about his heritage and informs Lt. Commander Rogers, who refuses to relieve Aron of duty as he wanted.
  • 238810.24: Aron and Mitchell Kavalier retrieve an alien machine from the enormous Ring above a Tellarite colony.
  • 238811.06: When Dr. Dantin-Vex is infected with an unknown agent, Aron volunteers to go into the Sickbay morgue to retrieve a sample of the toxin.
  • 238811.06: Aron discovers a new life form growing on the Tellarite corpses in the morgue and is later attacked and nearly knocked unconscious.
  • 238811.11: The interference of the alien machine in the transporter stream combines Ensign Kells with his thirty-five-year-old self, Lt. Commander Kells.
  • 238903.02: Aron is promoted to the rank of commander in recognition of his work rehabilitating the extinct Jaborrhik race.
  • 2389.03.29: After the Drake emerges from Null Space, Aron participates in a holographic biosciences conference to discuss the preparedness of the 118 fleet for virulent and adaptable pathogens.
  • 238904.05: Aron is assigned as the executive officer to Starbase 118 Operations, a move in part designed to station him closer to the Jaborrhik project.


USS Mercury

He nevertheless rose quickly to the rank of captain and commanded the USS Mercury until he went on an ill-advised, unofficial mission that resulted in his kidnapping by a cybernetic entity known as "the Ring." Aron was imprisoned by the Ring for nine months, during which a doppelganger of his commanded the Mercury in absence before eventually abandoning the ship at the same time that the Ring, for reasons known best to itself, let Aron go and disappeared.

One of Aron's goofier command moments
  • 238905.08: Aron is assigned as the commanding officer to the deep-space explorer USS Mercury.
  • 238906.18: With the help of the counselor aboard the Mercury, S'Peek Avandar, Aron discovers that he has some telepathic abilities, likely courtesy of his part-Romulan heritage.
  • 238909.23: Aron's former COs Quinn Reynolds and Kali Nicholotti present him with his promotion to captain.
  • 239005.03: Aron is combined in another Ring-induced temporal incident with his 60-year-old self. The mechanism or reason for these combinations is, as yet, uncertain.


Recovery, Civilian Status, and the USS Garuda

Since his release, Aron has been recuperating and attending lots of counseling, and though he has been cleared by Starfleet to return, the effects of his incarceration and his fears that his former subordinates and colleagues might harbor ill feelings for his doppelganger's abandonment of them have kept him from doing so thus far.
