Ian comes from a working-class Scottish family and joined Starfleet right out of high school.  Ian served as a security and later science officer on a number of vessels, and quickly built a reputation as an expert in xeno-archaeology and was one of the lead archaeologists in connecting the mythical race known as The Preservers with their modern descendant species.  His Starfleet career was cut short by his discovery of the "Rosetta Stone" for the ancient Menthar script and immediate acceptance in the doctoral program at Oxford University.

Academia suited Ian rather well, with him completing his Ph.D and then joining the Oxford faculty in the antiquities department.  Eventually he was posted as the associate dean of ancient studies and always remained both an active professor and working archaeologist.  Despite his expertise in the Menthar corridor and its ancient inhabitants, Ian's passion has remained The Preservers and their seed species the Vulcans, Humans and Klingons.  He is one of a small handful of living beings who can read the earliest scripts of these cultures, and as a hobby enjoys following their ancient recipes inscribed on stone tablets; usually for the making of alcoholic beverages.

Ian married a fellow professor, Dr. Elizabeth Hastings, and the two had two daughters, both of whom are now grown.  Elizabeth died shortly after Ian's 60th birthday, which for the first time in decades caused Ian to search for some other meaning in his life.  Following a month of binge drinking, he abruptly resigned his position at Oxford, sold most of his possessions and started backpacking across the ancient silk road.  When he finally emerged in China, Ian made the decision to contact some of his old acquaintances at Starfleet and see about returning to service.

Ian's starfleet service included his participation in the battle of Wolf 359 as the first officer of the USS Lexington, which still often results in old admirals buying him drinks.  The captain was seriously injured early in the battle, and despite the Lexington suffering severe damage, Ian took command and sent the ship back into the thick of battle, saving the lives of four other starship crews in the process.

He has been an amateur boxer most of his life and remains active in senior leagues and occasionally unlimited (no age grouping) leagues to this day.  Some younger fighters are stronger and have more endurance, but very few have more experience in the ring making Ian a formidable opponent in the heavyweight class at most amateur levels.  Most recently he earned a silver medal in the Senior Olympics at age 60.

Archaeology was, is and will likely remain Ian's passion.  He is perhaps once of the top five experts on ancient Egyptian and Mesopotamian civilizations on earth, pre-Surrak vulcan and pre-Kahless Klingon civilizations, and considered as the lead authority on the ancient Menthar and in the top five on the Ionians and the Preservers.

Elizabeth was a physics professor at Oxford and like Ian, a Starfleet veteran. They were married for 26 years and have two daughters, aged 28 and 26. Six-years-ago, Elizabeth suffered a stroke and died in her sleep.

Background


Ian comes from a working-class Scottish family and joined Starfleet right out of high school. Ian served as a security and later science officer on a number of vessels, and quickly built a reputation as an expert in xeno-archaeology and was one of the lead archaeologists in connecting the mythical race known as The Preservers with their modern descendant species. His Starfleet career was cut short by his discovery of the "Rosetta Stone" for the ancient Ionian script and immediate acceptance in the doctoral program at Oxford University.

Academia suited Ian rather well, with him completing his Ph.D and then joining the Oxford faculty in the antiquities department. Eventually he was posted as the associate dean of ancient studies and always remained both an active professor and working archaeologist. Despite his expertise in all Ancient spacefaring races, Ian's passion has remained The Preservers and their seed species the Vulcans, Humans and Klingons. He is one of a small handful of living beings who can read the earliest scripts of these cultures, and as a hobby enjoys following their ancient recipes inscribed on stone tablets; usually for the making of alcoholic beverages.

Ian married a fellow professor, Dr. Elizabeth Hastings, and the two had two daughters, both of whom are now grown. Elizabeth died shortly after Ian's 60th birthday, which for the first time in decades caused Ian to search for some other meaning in his life. Following a month of binge drinking, he abruptly resigned his position at Oxford, sold most of his possessions and started backpacking across the ancient silk road. When he finally emerged in China, Ian made the decision to contact some of his old acquaintances at Starfleet and see about returning to service.

Ian's starfleet service included his participation in the battle of Wolf 359 as the first officer of the USS Lexington, which still often results in old admirals buying him drinks. The captain was seriously injured early in the battle, and despite the Lexington suffering severe damage, Ian took command and sent the ship back into the thick of battle, saving the lives of four other starship crews in the process.
