Kael Tam is a kind, personable, easy-going man with a ready sense of humour.  He is a good listener, and enjoys supporting and encouraging others.  He has a strong sense of compassion and duty and is not above speaking his mind if he thinks a particular course of action is not in a patient's best interests or unethical.

Despite his gregarious nature, Kael can be remarkably closed about his own personal feelings and past.  Very few people know about his family - especially his daughter - and fewer still know about his youth on Trill.  He doesn't like spending time alone and keeps busy with other people, even when solitude would be beneficial to him.  The needs of other people are very important to him and he frequently places them above his own, sacrificing his own priorities.

* Self-defence: Kael enjoys Renzati, a Trill form of boxing.

* Dislikes:

** Pure Logic: As a people person, Kael always tries to consider the 'human' aspect of a situation and finds cold logic hard to comprehend.

After the death of his wife, many of Kael's ambitions were pushed aside for the simple goal of surviving from each day to the next.  While things are improving, he still has few long-reaching goals other than doing his job to the best of his ability.

Kael is proud of his Starfleet record and the commendations he has received from his superior officers, as well the reputation and rank he has earned for himself.  He feels that while there is always more to learn, he is a capable and skilled nurse who actively assists in his patient's recovery.

* '''Number of children''': One

** '''Daughter''':  Aimi Tam.

Kael is one of the few natural Trill telepaths and was raised from a young age to be a Guardian in the employ of the Symbiosis Commission, assisting and facilitating the varied rites that joined Trill and their symbionts participate in.  It was an upbringing he rebelled against and when he was 18, he left Trill to join Starfleet as an enlisted crewman, specialising in emergency medical care.  He maintains to this day that he made the right decision and was grateful when his parents supported him in it.  His sister, an aspiring host, was less enthused by his decision and her subsequent joining with the symbiont Seren has resulted in continuing strained relations between the pair.

He met his future wife Idra while on teaching assignment to Starfleet Medical; she was a systems technician involved in the maintenance of the complex computers employed there.  After several months together, they returned to Trill and married.  Their daughter, Aimi, was born two years later, an event Kael would described as "the most important in his life".
