Known Medical Issues

Whale has been diagnosed with space myopia. As a result, he is not cleared to pilot star fighters or other small craft.

Due to cardiac arrest suffered in the Second Battle of Eratis, Whale's heart sustained some damage. Though his recovery from the injuries is not one hundred percent complete, it is expected that Whale will make a full recovery. However, given the slow progress being made, his heart will require regular monitoring by medical personnel as a precautionary measure.

Manner

  • Quarters: Largely undecorated beyond standard Starfleet issue furniture and a handful of personal effects. Most important to Whale is a small wooden box containing his old Type II phaser and a battered photograph of Gianna Dacosta.
  • Mannerisms: Has a tendency to speak bluntly.
  • Physical Limitations: Whale is human and as such, has human limitations.
  • Temperment: Generally stand-offish. Whale does not suffer fools gladly and has little problem with telling people exactly what he thinks.
  • Religion/Spiritual Devotion: Whale does not believe in any gods. And if he ever met one, would likely try to punch it in the face.

Personality

David Whale has dealt with significant tragedy in his life and his personality reflects it. He is generally stand-offish, rarely willing to open up to anyone about his feelings or discuss, in detail, the circumstances of his presence in this century. While he is not by nature a mean or difficult person, the difficulties he has had -- and continues to have -- in adjusting to his "new" life have affected him to the point where many see him this way.

Personal Achievements and Disappointments

Though he has never voiced this to anyone, Whale biggest disappointment - to put it mildly - is his failure to propose to Gianna Dacosta during their last time together, only a week prior to the disappearance of the USS Ackerman. He had the ring in his pocket, but was too nervous to go through with it.

Again, though he'd likely never say this out loud, Whale is quite proud of the fact that he has achieved the rank of Lieutenant Commander. When rejoining Starfleet after surviving The Ackerman Event, his only goal was to survive -- mentally and emotionally -- but when promoted to Lieutenant Commander, a full grade above the highest rank he held in the 23rd Century, Whale came to realize that somewhere along the way, he'd not only adapted, but began to grow beyond the tragedy that brought him to the 24th Century.

Family

For historical information on Whale's family, including Clan history and profiles of notable ancestors, see David Whale: Family History.

Due to the circumstances of his life in the 24th Century, Whale no longer has any living family of which he is aware.

Spouse

  • Marital Status: Single

Parents

  • Father: Robert Roy Whale
  • Mother: Rebecca Elizabeth Whale (née Hargreaves)

Siblings

Whale did not have any brothers or sisters.

Important Relationships

  • Gianna Dacosta: A Starfleet science officer with whom Whale was romatically involved during his first tour of duty with Starfleet. Deceased. Whale has yet look up her personnel file, afraid of how he will feel reading about her life after his "death." Most importantly, he's afraid to find out that someone else ended up marrying Gianna, having children with her, growing old with her... all the things that Whale had wanted.
  • Yautja Uatu: Former bartender/manager of D-10, the USS Tiger crew lounge. Whale and Uatu were involved romantically for over a year, but the relationship ended on 238703.14. Utatu revealed herself to be a Klingon operative working for Kolkorr the Merciless.
  • Fiona Shelley: A doctor currently serving aboard the USS Independence-A who was also one of the first to treat the survivors of The Ackerman Event. She and Whale have developed a strong friendship, but Whale is beginning to have doubts as to whether his feelings for the doctor end at or extend beyond friendship. At least, he keeps telling himself he has doubts. The truth is, he knows exactly how he feels about Shelley, he's just afraid to admit it -- and that fear has led to his transfer from the Independence to the USS Constitution-B.
  • Danilo Pitik: A security officer with whom Whale served aboard Starbase 118, USS Tiger and now the USS Independence-A. The two have become become friends after Pitik was responsible for saving Whale's life during the Second Battle of Eratis.
  • Anna Cortez: A cadet participating in a Starfleet Academy field training pilot program. Whale has been assigned as her mentor/trainer and much to his own surprise, he's quite enjoying the role.
  • Alleran Tan: Though they served together on both Starbase 118 and the USS Independence-A, Whale and Tan didn't begin to develop a friendship until both had begun to move on. Both left the Independence for personal reasons -- Whale to escape a potentially disasterous romantic entanglement and Tan to escape the aftermath of one.

StarFleet Assessments and Records

Full Articles: David Whale: StarFleet Records 2259-2269, David Whale: StarFleet Records 2381-Present

Whale's career history with Starfleet is somewhat unusual, as it contains two separate tours of duty spanning nearly 120 years. As such, it has been divided into two sections: the years 2259-2269, followed by the years 2381-Present.

In 2269, while responding to a distress call from a civilian freighter, the USS Ackerman was lost with all hands after an encounter with a spatial anomaly. This event is frequently referred to as the Ackerman Event.

In 2379, the Ackerman re-emerged from what has since been determined to be a temporal anomaly. There were only three survivors -- including David Whale. Biologically, David Whale is currently 36 years old. In terms of actual years since his birth, he is 146 years old.

Awards & Commendations

Working Areas

  • Quarters: Whale has set aside a small part of his quarters as an office, featuring a decent-sized desk and a small, wall-mounted holographic unit that can display a schematic of the Independence and current personnel deployment. The dominant feature of the office is a massive shelving unit containing dozens of hard copies of various Starfleet operating and procedural manuals as well as thick, leatherbound editions of Federation legal texts.

Subordinates

  • Anna Cortez: Cadet 3rd Class Anna Cortez serves as Whale's assistant, essentially serving the same general role for the chief of security as a Captain's yeoman.
