History
Ashton grew up like most Trill children. He had a love for life and a zest for the extraordinary. He did, however, have parents who were both involved in Starfleet in one way or another. He was very good at Terran football and was given a scholarship to attend Harvard University on a scholarship for academics and athletics.
This was a new thing for his family. All had grown on Trill and were in love with everything there. Ashton was able to quickly go through premed and play a sport he dearly loved. Upon graduation, he came back to Trill to add alien medicine to his already expanded knowledge of medicine. Quickly he grasped what he needed to succeed as a physician.
On his 19th birthday he met Looryx Bendix. The two of them became great friends. The Bendix symbiont found Ashton to be full of passion and life. Upon the death of Looryx, Bendix chose Ashton as his next host. Ashton never thought about joining Starfleet, but with having Bendix's past host memories flooding into him, he felt that Starfleet was where he belonged.
Joining Starfleet was a joy. Everything seemed to flow for Bendix. He finished top in his class and was given his choice of assignment.
Personality
Bendix is fun loving. He enjoys being with others and gets great joy from making people happy. He works hard as a surgeon, because he feels compelled to assist his fellow man. He is dashing and has a joy for music and cooking. Considers himself a ladies man.
