Born to '''Josiah Bartholomew Whittaker'''- a former dean of Tucker's Landing University- and '''Madeline Fatima Whittaker''' (neé Carson)- a Starfleet officer- Theo Whittaker grew up a well educated and well spoken young man. Attending the best schools on Archer IV, he was expected to comport himself accordingly under the strict rules of his father whom he lived with full time while his mother served in Starfleet. Never the less, he inherited his mother's rebellious nature and often clashed with his uptight, privileged father who expected his only child to continue the family tradition of a career in the academic world. In an open act of defiance, Theo chose to follow in his mother's footsteps and enroll in Starfleet. The decision led to a rift between father and son which had not healed by the time of Josiah's death during Theo's second year attending [[Starfleet Academy]]. | Born to '''Josiah Bartholomew Whittaker'''- a former dean of Tucker's Landing University- and '''Madeline Fatima Whittaker''' (neé Carson)- a Starfleet officer- Theo Whittaker grew up a well educated and well spoken young man.

[[File:20080815parkstreet(1).png|thumb|Theo Whittaker's childhood home.]]During his teenage years, Theo spent two months every year living with his mother aboard the ''U.S.S. Sparrow'', a Starfleet patrol ship assigned to the 'core worlds' of the [[United Federation of Planets|Federation]]. While his mother did appreciate her husband's wishes for Theo to follow in his footsteps, she also privately believed that her son should be allowed to make his own choices and thus did not oppose Theo's decision to enter Starfleet Academy. While she stood publicly by her husband, Theo was never the less aware of his mother's true feelings. | [[File:20080815parkstreet(1).png|thumb|Theo Whittaker's childhood home.]] [[File:Tucker's Landing.jpg|thumb|Tucker's Landing, Archer IV: Theo's home city.]]During his teenage years, Theo spent two months every year living with his mother aboard the ''U.S.S.

On Archer IV, Theo lived in a mock-Georgian mansion close to Tucker's Landing University with his father. Designed in part by his father to recreate the ancestral home of the Whittaker family who hailed from the United Kingdom as far back as the 16th century, Theo spent many years exploring the various tunnels underneath the mansion. On many occasions he used them to evade his father's punishments. Modern day technology was expressly forbidden in the house aside from replicators, an unusual side effect of this being, it sparked Theo's interest in technology and in engineering. | On Archer IV, Theo lived in a mock-Georgian mansion close to Tucker's Landing University with his father.

Theo freely admits that he had very few friends growing up as a direct result of his father's drive to turn his only son into an academic. Forced to study, he became a socially awkward and rebellious teenager. At the Academy, Theo found himself with more freedom than ever before and he soon began to forge his own path. However, it has been aboard Columbia where he truly began to flourish on a personal level. His growing friendship with Nuvia Oori (see below) a fellow engineer and the welcoming nature of the crew have seen him relax and even express his dry, often sarcastic, sense of humor. He even began to consider going on a date with a young ensign from another starship docked at Starbase 118 | [[File:Theo Whittaker Beach Party.jpg|thumb|100px|Theo relaxes at a Risian themed beach party.]]Theo freely admits that he had very few friends growing up as a direct result of his father's drive to turn his only son into an academic. Forced to study, he became a socially awkward and rebellious teenager. At the Academy, Theo found himself with more freedom than ever before and he soon began to forge his own path. The strict discipline of Starfleet helped to temper his rebellious streak and began making person connections with others his own age for the first time in his life.

He even began to consider going on a date with a young ensign from another starship docked at Starbase 118, marking his first consideration of a romantic entanglement, although nothing came of it at that time. | ||
