Rhyn Symbiont

Current Host: Emery Dira Date of Joining: 239301.02 Place of Joining: Caves of Mak'ala Number of Previous Hosts: 7 Age: 296 DoB: 210503.17

The Rhyn symbiont, a sentient vermiform lifeform, was born in 2105 in the Caves of Mak'ala on the planet Trill. Like all symbionts, it has the ability to be transferred from one humanoid Trill host to another, upon the death of the prior host. The symbionts take with it all of the memories of the previous Trill hosts so, upon joining, the new Trill host gains those memories. The Rhyn symbiont has had seven prior hosts, and is currently coexisting with its eighth host, Emery Rhyn.
