Jorus was brought up by a family who despised the Orion people. Jorus was brought up to hate them and anything to do with them. The hate goes back to when Orions killed Jorus' grandfather (A man who Jorus did not know)however dealings with the Orions did not stop however when Jorus' father sold a faulty ship to the Orions they got set on revenge and began to track down Jorus' father causing the whole family to go into hiding on a Ferengi Smuggling Vessel. When Jorus was assigned to the USS Discovery-C and found out there where at least two Orions on board he began to get nightmares about things his uncle had taught him about what the Orions will do. Cogud stays clear of any Orions on the Discovery.

Before meeting Neron, Fenna was training to become a teacher. She hoped to become settled and have a normal life on the Federation Space Station where they lived but it was not to be when Neron got caught out by the Orion Syndicate all hope of leading a simple life where gone. She, while pregnant with Jorus, was taken off the station with her husband by Darzen Cogud, her brother in law, to get away from the Orions perusing Neron. She did not enjoy living on the Ferengi Smuggling Vessel for a year and she protested when Zug was named her sons godfather however she became accustomed to having Ferengi around and when she left the vessel a year later she missed the life she had aboard Zug's ship. While living on Trill she looked after Jorus until he was old enough for school after which she planned to take up teaching once again. However it was not to be when the Orions chasing Neron where released from prison they immediately restarted the hunt and so the Coguds had to live with the Ferengi once more. When aboard the vessel Fenna gave birth to another son Senon, she looked after him while Jorus was blasting around the ship interacting with every Ferengi on board. She was not surprised when Cogud came back to here reciting the rules of acquisition or a pocket full of latinum after playing Dabo. Fenna was pleased to be off the Ferengi ship and living in a merchant vessel when Neron bought it and was pleased to know Jorus wanted to join Starfleet. She pledged to Cogud that she would remain supportive throughout his career.

*'''[[Blueheart, Raj|Raj Blueheart]]:''' Cogud has built a good working relationship with Commander Raj Blueheart, the Discovery's first officer. Commander Blueheart knows of the clash between Vedra and Cogud and is working to help mend the damage.

Jorus Cogud was born on a Ferengi smuggling vessel while his Father and Uncle were "Working" for a short while, his father, uncle and mother had to leave on short notice due to a disagreement with some unhappy customers. Jorus' father Neron was an accomplished merchent and his mother used to be a teacher before she married Neron. Jorus' uncle was a different story, Darzen Cogud was a conman, but despite his criminal dealings, Neron felt a duty towards his family, over the law. The Ferengi captian, Zug, was a good "friend" of Darzen and allowed them safe passage until their customers had accepted that there was no guarantee.  

Jorus grew up on the Ferengi ship, his uncle became his mentor teaching him the tricks of being a conman, some of the Ferengi's on board taught Jorus how to read using the rules of acquisition and his father taught him maths, science etc. When Jorus was eight his mother gave birth to Jorus' younger brother Senon, who became a friend to Jorus. Jorus taught Senon the things his uncle had taught him. Jorus lived on the Ferengi ship until he was 14, that's when his family found out that the Orion's hunting his father had been arrested so they could return to Trill, however the family had grown a custom to living on a ship so his father bought a small ship big enough to live in for the family. Darzen left to continue his work and Jorus lived with his family until he was eighteen. On board the ship Jorus learnt the ins and outs of piloting the ship, he also gained an interest in Starfleet. When Jorus was seventeen he told his father what he wanted to do with his life, and his father unwillingly agreed. Jorus started studying everything he would need to get into the academy. When he was eighteen he was accepted into the academy.

After graduating the academy Cogud was assigned the the USS Discovery-C, on his first mission he was infected by a deadly plague which only the shapeshifter Zero could cure. By the time the mission was out he was cured of the plague. After the mission the crew went back to DS-285 were Cogud joined, Telice Shagan, Tom Westerbridge, Collim Kieran and James on a night out drinking, there he ran into Krax and Krull, operatives for the Orion Syndicate, they caught up with Cogud for a 'chat,' after escaping them Cogud ran into the Captain, Krax and Krull found the group and a barfight followed. With Krax and Krull defeated Cogud returned to the ship where he was contacted by his Ferengi Godfather Zug, he agreed to talk to the captain about granting him asylum (mainly from Krax and Krull who where after Zug.) The following morning Cogud had a chat with the Captain about the previous night and explained everything, as well as asking for Zug's asylum. With the Captain in allowing Zug came aboard when the crew got to Sigma Iotia II.  

After the mission to Gurab II, the crew of the Discovery had shore leave on earth. Cogud decided for his shore leave he would enter the Sol System Rally, and so raised a team of [[Raine Vedra]], [[Frye, Rostan|Rostan Frye]] and [[Waltas, Daisha|Daisha Waltas]]. Unfortunately during a private meeting Cogud racially attacked Vedra because of his upbringing and own experiences with Orions. This caused much tension between the two men before and after the race. Luckily enough the race itself was a big enough distraction for them both so it didn't interfere with their performence. The team won the race, they were presented with a trophy by Cogud's friend and the race coordinator David Vestor.
