Background
Corum Hak is a 26-year-old Bajoran male. He was born on Bajor but lived most of his early life in Terran culture. His Parents, both Bajoran, provided most of Corum Hak's exposure to Bajoran culture, language and faith. Having lived his early life on the Terran moon Luna, Hak has a good grasp of human culture, even to the point of enjoying their selections of Teas. A by-product of this, however, is that he lacks fluency in the Bajoran language, only having formalised his knowledge of its writing systems in his secondary school experience.
With the return of his family to Bajor, his parents were able to resume their careers in their desired fields. His interest in biology and medicine concepts was born from watching their work. During this time, an interest in the study of new cultures, although this partly originated from living in the cultural melting pots of New Berlin. Corum Hak's return to Bajor is where he attributes the origin of his path to Starfleet.
Corum Hak's Parents, having received the aid, and witnessed the benefits of Starfleet and the Federation, praised them often and presented them, in Hak's eyes, as peacekeepers and healers. His parents, also having witnessed the Cardassian oppression and fleeing from the dominion, hated aggression, violence and other prerequisites of war. Whenever Hak and his sister were fighting, it often harkened the worst of their reprimands. Ultimately, this instilled a similar outlook of pacifism and a disdain toward militaristic stances.
The choice to join Starfleet was an easy one, and outside of his parents being saddened by another child leaving the nest, Hak was still supported. Hak was not necessarily a high achiever in his schooling, but he had done well enough that he was able to enter Starfleet's Medical Pathway, which set him on an 8-year course of study. His final assessment was observed by (at the time) Lieutenant Commander Tomas Falt and Commander Serala.
Corum's first-ever posting was aboard the USS Gorkan under the guidance of Vice Admiral Quinn Reynolds. He began his career as a Medical Officer led initially by Junior Lieutenant Tali Namura, the Acting Chief Medical Officer at the time.
During the first weeks of his career as an Ensign aboard the USS Gorkon, Hak encountered a sentient telepathic Annelid, which, resembling a giant leech, had attached itself to an unlucky crewman called Roshier Jackson brought in by Petty Officer Christopher Sienlis. Hak doesn't like to talk about what happened that day, but suffice to say, he now dislikes telepathy—and leeches—if you were to ask a Psychologist, they might suggest "the traumatic event is likely the foundation for moderate Telepatho- and Bdellophobia, which the patient continually dismisses despite clinical presentation."
