! style="background:#ffffff;" align="left" |Tomas Alexander was never educated beyond primary school, and spent most all his life working in a Starfleet Manufacturing and Assembly facility on Earth. While he never saw any disrepute in his work, Tomas vowed that he would be the last in a long line of blue-collar workers, and insisted his son focus on studies and enroll in high-level university. Caleb maintained a relationship with his father, though the pressure of a father's expectations created a cool distance between them. Upon Tomas' death on stardate 238305.20, Caleb finally made the decision that he would be able pursue his own dreams without fear of breaking his father's heart. | |||

He spent most time with his father or sister, and only shared cursory familial affections with his mother. Olivia felt that her children, mostly Caleb, dishonored their deceased father by failing to fulfill his dreams for them. Caleb was disappointed, though not surprised, at his mother's lack of support, and the two have not spoken since Tomas' funeral. | |||

Sophia was always interested in the arts, and left home at seventeen to travel across Europa, Earth working as a singer. Caleb and Sophia, united by a lack of closeness with their parents, have maintained a very close relationship since childhood. They regularly write to one another, and spend time together whenever Caleb is able to visit the Starfleet base in Marseille. | |||

While a manufacturing floor might seem an inappropriate place for a young boy, Caleb had a distant relationship with his mother and grew to enjoy his time around the blue-collar workers. As he grew into a young man, Caleb would take an important lesson from the working class men and women. Too often, the technology of the 24th century made it easy to forget that the toils of nameless workers were still a necessity in their world. | ||
It would have been only natural for Caleb to take up his father's work, but Tomas Alexander had a certain dream for his son, and would accept nothing less. Caleb - at his family's urging - applied for and was accepted to the Accelerated Law Program at Earth's Stanford University. In his third year of the six year program, Caleb had been academically and personally successful, when he received he received word that his father had passed away at the age of sixty-two. Caleb spent one more year at Stanford, finishing his undergraduate education and the first year of his legal education. Despite his success, an unshakable understanding struck the young man when his father died, and it grew in him relentlessly from that moment on - he was only there because it was his father's dream, and his father was gone. Caleb left the program early, parting ways with a girlfriend and a host of friends as he did, turning away from the life that had been selected for him. | It would have been only natural for Caleb to take up his father's work, but Tomas Alexander had a certain dream for his son, and would accept nothing less.

He tries to spend time planet-side whenever possible, though he considers holodecks an adequate enough substitute. His favorite activities include trail running, hiking, and camping. When Caleb is unable to escape his quarters or finds a quiet moment on duty, he enjoys reading Terran drama novels. | ||
