'''Josiah Whittaker ''': Perhaps the most defining relationship of Theo's life is the frought and complex one with his father. A staunch traditionalist, Josiah Whittaker intended for his children to follow him into a life of academia as had 19 generations of Whittaker's before him. Being the main caregiver for the infant Theo while his mother served in Starfleet, Josiah had Theo accepted into all the best schools and was relentles in his education. What he had not counted on was Theo inheriting his mother's rebellious nature. He did not want to follow in his father's footsteps and as a result the relationship detoriated over time. The younger Whittaker would often test his father's patience by refusing to study, disappearing off into the nearby mountains for days at a time or even hide out in the tunnels underneath Whittaker Manor. When Theo turned he announced to his parents that he wanted to enter Starfleet Academy and, naturally, Josiah forebade it. Over the next twelve months, their relationship eroded completely and the last time Theo spoke to his father was the day he left to join his mother aboard the ''U.S.S. Sparrow''. During Theo's first year at the Academy, Josiah contracted Meenok's Disease and sucuumbed to it a year later. Neither father or son made an attempt to repair their relationship- the guilt of which has stayed with Theo ever since. | '''Josiah Whittaker ''': Perhaps the most defining relationship of Theo's life is the frought and complex one with his father.

''' Madeline Whittaker ''': Theo's relationship with his mother was a stark contrast to the one he shared with his father. Warm, loving and accepting of Theo's life choices, Madeline arranged for her commanding officer on the ''U.S.S. Sparrow'' to sponser Theo's admission to Starfleet Academy. Although she tolerated her husband's strict methods and his expectations, she wanted Theo to lead his own life wherever that might have taken him. She attempted numerous times to engineer a reconciliation between father and son to no avail. While a firm, but fair, mother- Theo remains very close his mother, writing to her often aboard her current assignment, the ''U.S.S. Orb of Prophecy''. | ''' Madeline Whittaker ''': Theo's relationship with his mother was a stark contrast to the one he shared with his father.

'''[[Flynn, Antero|Antero Flynn]]''': Meeting several weeks after Flynn's assignment to Columbia, Theo was instantly struck by the Risian's laidback and carefree nature as well as his striking eyes. Flynn left an indelible impression on naive Theo, which swiftly led to him developing feelings for the pilot. The two became fase during shore leave when they both attended a Risian beach party on one of [[Starbase 118]]'s many holodecks. After the mission to [[Hemix]] the two went hover surfing on Columbia's holodeck, which culminated in the two kissing briefly before Antero left quickly, shocked by his actions and leaving Theo feeling humiliated. They patched things up the following day after an honest talk, with Antero agreeing to cook dinner for Theo as a date. With the decommissioning of the Columbia, their burgeoning relationship came to a mutual- if abrupt- end. Theo was reunited with Antero in early 2393 when the helmsman transferred to Starbase 118 Operations. After an uneasy and awkward first encounter, they agreed to be friends but both acknowledged that it would be awkward, especially since Theo was now dating Antero's chilhood friend- Baylen Anders. | '''[[Flynn, Antero|Antero Flynn]]''': Meeting several weeks after Flynn's assignment to Columbia, Theo was instantly struck by the Risian's laidback and carefree nature as well as his striking eyes.

'''[[Ezo, Mirra|Mirra Ezo]]''': During the [[Hemix]] mission, the two became fiercely protective of each other as they faced the threats of [[Chennel]], the feral [[Nugra]] and the deadly environment of the planet. Theo shielded Mirra from the energy vampire moths and Mirra stunned Chennel aboard her raider when she threatened Theo's life. Upon returning to the Columbia, the two of them began sharing meals together and a deep friendship developed. Mirra was the first person that Theo told about his feelings for Ensign Flynn. The two have quickly established themselves as fast friends have been known to indulge in shipboard gossip with one another. Two months after Theo's transfer to Starbase 118, Mirra also transferred to the station's medical department and reunited during the Tribble crisis on New Years Day 2393. | |||

'''[[Baylen Anders]]''': Within hours of reporting for duty aboard Starbase 118, Theo was thrust into a dangerous mission to track down a renegade Starfleet officer and spent several hours working with Lieutenant Commander Baylen Anders- the station's Mission Specialist. The two had an instant rapport with one another, which rapidly escalated into flirting. Theo was not sure whether it was because the man reminded him of Antero Flynn or not- but the two made it through a plasma fire and a journey through the Jeffries Tube and finally realligning the deflector dish. On their return to the station, the two visited Kael's Old English Pub where, on leaving, Baylen kissed Theo on the cheek. Despite denying that nothing was going to his friend, [[Tatash]]- Theo was not entirely convinced. The following morning, the two went for a morning walk after posing as a couple to stop a Tellarite baker from attempting to accquire Baylen's dog Baxter, in order to turn the canine into a pie. He was present when Baylen returned from a brief sojourn into the Mirror Universe and was the one to call for medical assistance. He visisted him the following morning to ask him some question and found himself holding his hand. That evening, after Baylen was discharged, they went on their first date. By the end of January 2393 they were a couple and after a soiree at Theo's new apartment in the New York District, the two spent their first night together. | '''[[Baylen Anders]]''': Within hours of reporting for duty aboard Starbase 118, Theo was thrust into a dangerous mission to track down a renegade Starfleet officer and spent several hours working with Lieutenant Commander Baylen Anders- the station's Mission Specialist.
