*'''[[Mirra Ezo]]''': [[File:Ezo, Mirra.png|150px|thumb|Doctor Mirra Ezo]]Theo and Mirra were junior colleauges aboard the [[USS Columbia|U.S.S. Columbia (NCC-85279)]] with Mirra joining the crew several weeks after Theo. She was the physician who treated Theo's injuries when he was assaulted by a being who claimed to be an Iconian who was seeking to drive Columbia and the Romulans from [[Avronis V]]. Their friendship, which has become a defining trait of both, truly began in the wake of Columbia's assignment to Hemix I and their first encounter with the Bolian criminal Chennel. Theo saved Mirra from an attack by a species of moth that fed on biological electrical energy and in turn, she saved and treated Theo from Chennel who had tortured him as a form of leverage in negociations with Columbia's commanding officer, [[Brek]]. The two remained friends following Columbia's reassignment, although were reunited when Mirra transferred to [[Starbase 118 Ops|Starbase 118 Operations]]. Theo views Mirra as a sister, one he is fiercely protective over and the two can usually be found together in their off duty hours, either indulging in station gossip or simply spending time together. Theo has, on occasion, 'borrowed' Mirra's beauty products for his own use. When Theo's relationship with [[Baylen Anders]] falls apart, Mirra was one of the first people he turned to for support and comfort and when he is made Acting Commanding Officer of the station, he did not hesitate in appointing her his Acting Executive Officer, knowing that there was no else aboard the station that he trusted more. Mirra later took a leave of absence without warning due to her experiences at the hands of Chennel who had invaded the station. During his first assignment aboard the [[USS Blackwell|Blackwell]] he was reunited with Mirra and they resumed their friendship, with her serving as a [[Diplomatic Officer]]. She follows him to the Columbia, the ship where they first met.




[[File:MirraEzo Red.png|75px|left|]]
'''[[Mirra Ezo]]''': Having served together for most of their respective careers and forged a close bond, Theo has come to consider Mirra as his best friend. Though much of their friendship has been characterised by playful and sassy banter they have an enormous amount of respect, affection and love for one another. They have saved each other's live on more than occasion from threats ranging from Iconians, sadistic criminals and Human Augments... to name but a few.  Always there for another regardless of the situation, many have speculated that there is nothing that they would not do for one another. They briefly lost contact after Mirra took a Leave of Absence to deal with personal issues stemming from her stabbing by the criminal [[Chennel]] but were reunited aboard the [[USS Blackwell|Blackwell]] after she was caught up in the [[Hur'q]] invasion of Arndall. Mirra currently serves alongside Theo aboard the [[USS Columbia]] as his Diplomatic Officer, exploring the very edge of the galaxy in the distant [[Sagittarius Reach]].


*'''[[Tatash]]''': [[File: Tatash2.png|left|150px|Major Tatash]] Tatash was one of the first people that Theo met when he transferred to the [[USS Columbia|Columbia]] and was imediately intimidated by the man's height, 7 foot. However, the two of them became friends in a way that most junior officers do. Theo was surprised and upset by the Gorn's sudden and unexpected transfer to the [[USS Avandar|USS Avandar (NCC-80203)]] and was elated to discover that he was serving aboard [[Starbase 118]] several months later. Tatash has become Theo's other best friend and the Gorn is fiercely protective of him- although he does rib him over Theo's aristocratic speech pattern. When Baylen Anders ended his relationship with Theo, Tatash immediately comforted his best friend and brought him a bottle of Romulan ale. When Chennel and her Orion allies boarded the station during an unusually powerful neutronic storm, Tatash was the first to suggest an external fightback and despite the dangers, flew into the heart of the storm to help Theo's resistance effort. Later, Tatash returned to Ghdar to care for his family but returned to Starfleet at Theo's request and now serves as the [[USS Blackwell|Blackwell's]] Chief of Security.






'''[[Sal Taybrim]]''': [[File:Sal Taybrim Captain.png|75px|right|Captain Sal Taybrim]] Perhaps the greatest influence on Theo's professional career has been Sal Taybrim, StarBase 118 Operation's iconic Commanding Officer. It was Taybrim who put Theo on to the command track, asking him serve as his Executive Officer. He encouraged and fostered his natural, but latent, leadership ability and was always there with advice and a kind, non-judgement ear. In many ways, one call Taybrim a mentor to Theo, with the Columbia's CO attributing much of the success he has had in his career to the ginger-haired Betazoid. When Theo considered stepping away from the fleet, it was Sal's gentle encouragement that stopped him. In return, when the man was removed from command of the station for disobeying orders, Theo protested profusely and made no secret of the fact that he did not have faith in his temporary replacement- [[Storm Bomba]]. While more professional than his friendships with Mirra and Tatash, Theo came to deeply care for his mentor and a friendship truly blossomed. Even now, tens of thousands of light years away at the edge of the galaxy, Theo still fondly thinks on the advice that Taybrim gave him during the two years he served under him.


*'''[[Antero Flynn]]''': [[File:Lt-flynn.jpg|150px|right|Lieutenant Commander Antero Flynn]] Flynn joined Columbia fresh from Starfleet Academy at the same time Doctor Ezo and for a while, Theo and the Risian were nothing more than colleauges, although Theo did have a romantic attraction to him. Eventually, the two began dating after sharing a kiss on the holodeck, although little came of it owing to Columbia and it's crew's reassignments. However the two of them were reunited when Antero was transferred along with Doctor Ezo to [[Starbase 118 Ops|Starbase 118 Operations]]. The two agreed to remain friends and when Theo moved into his penthouse apartment, Antero purchased him the ingreidents with which to make his favourite cocktail. They had since settled into a comfortable friendship. Theo was overjoyed to learn that Flynn was going to become a father after discovering Lieutenant [[Aitas]] had fallen pregnant.


'''[[Tatash]]''': [[File: Tatash2.png|left|75px]] Much like Mirra, Tatash has served with Theo for most of his career and they also share a close bond. Unwavering in his support, Tatash has become somebody that Theo relies on as well as looks up to (quite literally given their height difference). Their friendship grew considerably in the two years that they were stationed aboard StarBase 118 and Theo was the first person to champion the Gorn's transfer to the Marine Corps to take command of the [[StarBase 118 Marines|292nd "Iron Jaegers" Tactical Marine Regiment]]. During the final confrontation with [[Haz Arrihmen]] Tatash lost an arm and Theo kept a vigil at his bedside and supported his friend through his rehabilitation and subsequent training to use his prosthetic arm. When transferring to the [[USS Blackwell]], Theo asked him to serve as the Andaris Task Force's Strategic Operations Officer, although he was unable to due to family concerns. Never the less, the two remained friendly and when Theo needed a new Chief of Security, Tatash was his only candidate.




'''[[Jarred Thoran]]''': [[File: Jarred Thoran 5.png|right|75px]]: Impressed by the man's bravery, diligence and dedication, Jarred Thoran was Theo's first choice for First Officer (along with [[Randall Shayne]] when [[Cayden Adyr]] was reassigned to Starfleet Intelligence. In the months since his ascension to the second highest position of the ship, Theo has developed an excellent working relationship with the man and there are clear signs of a friendship developing between the two men. One of Theo's first official acts as the Blackwell's commanding officer was to promote him to Lieutenant Commander, which he felt was long overdue. Their friendship has stood them both in good stead on the galactic edge as Theo needs somebody he can trust to be his XO- and there is nobody better suited for the job than Thoran.




'''[[Aitas]]''': [[File:AitasSB118.png|75px|left|Lieutenant Aitas]] The friendship between the then-XO of StarBase and it's second Chief Intelligence Officer began slowly, evolving from her simply delivering weekly briefings to becoming meditation partners and close confidants. There are very few people that Theo trusts more than Aitas. He dotes (when he can) on her son, Aurelio and she in return sends him parcels of alcohol when she is able to for his growing interest in mixology. She was present for his promotion to Captain and the two reaffirmed their close bond with one another. Theo is proud to have watched Aitas ascend the ranks of Starfleet Intelligence and supports her wish to make the Intelligence Tower a more transparent place. She is also unfraid of telling Theo the truth and has put him in his place more than once- chiefly over the sloppy way that Theo ended his burgeoning relationship with Taelon, another one of her close personal friends. It is this honesty that appeals most to Theo.




*'''[[Sal Taybrim]]''': [[File:Sal Taybrim Captain.png|150px|left|Captain Sal Taybrim]] Despite the Betazoid being his commanding officer, Theo also views him as a friend as well as a mentor. Sal personally asked Theo to become his XO after only serving as Chief Engineer for three days. The two have cultivated an excellent working relationship and trust each other completely. Sal was the first person that Theo confided in about his doubts serving in Starfleet following being tortured by agents of the Orion Syndicate. When his Captain announced that he would be leading a mission planetside to expose Orion Syndicate influences on an interstellar race, Theo objected strongly and only stepped aside and let him leave the ship reluctantly. When Chennel invaded Starbase 118- Sal, who had been attending a court case on Raskor I- was visibly relieved when he learned that Theo was alive and leading a resistance movement against the self-styled pirate queen. When assigned to the [[USS Blackwell|Blackwell]] Theo made sure to tell Sal how grateful he was for everything he had taught him. Taybrim was the officer who promoted Theo to the rank of Captain in 2395.
'''[[Baylen Anders]]''': [[File:Aeut0h.png|75px|right]]: There was an instant chemistry between Theo and Baylen from the moment that they first met in battle aboard the USS Albion, Starbase 118's late auxiliary support vessel. That quickly blossomed into an intense and passionate relationship... not to mention Theo's first. For several months they were happy together until returning from one mission, Theo found that Baylen had left the station under mysterious circumstances and had ended their relationship without warning. It took him month's to come to terms with what happened. Then just as suddenly as he left, Baylen returned to the station well over a year later. Confused and thrown for a loop, Theo kept his distance unsure of how he should feel. Unfortunately, he had no chance to confront these emotions as Baylen's return coincided with Theo's transfer to the USS Blackwell. At present, the two men are not in communication (although they are not not speaking) and it is clear that Theo has been able to put the past behind him and move on with his life.




 
'''[[Taelon]]''' [[File:Taelon AO2.jpg|75px|left|Lieutenant Taelon]] Something was beginning to develop between Theo and StarBase 118's chronically shy and socially awkward Chief Science Officer although both of them were hesitant to define its nature. It fell into a grey area between friendship and romance. Unsure of how to proceed, Theo made the regrettable decision to leave the station for the USS Blackwell without defining- or indeed ending- whatever was developing between the two of them, which has led to some recriminations with Taelon's family. It is one of Theo's greatest regrets, especially since Taelon was lost in a temporal incursion.
 
 
 
*'''[[Taelon]]''' [[File:Taelon AO2.jpg|150px|right|Lieutenant Taelon]] For several months Theo and Taelon were work colleauges. However after being kidnapped by members of the Orion Syndicate and Theo offering himself up to be tortured over the away team (which included Taelon), the two forged a bond which deepened in early 2394 when Theo realised that he had developed feelings for the introverted El-Aurian scientist. The two went on their first date shortly before Chennel's invasion of the station, during which Taelon provided Theo with invaluable information on Orion movements. Taelon is injured during the successful attempt to retake the station and is visited by Theo, who later takes him out for a cup of tea. They continue to be romantically interested in one another but little happens and any future disintegrates with Theo departs for his next assignment without a proper goodbye.
 
 
 
 
 
* '''[[Aitas]]''': [[File:AitasSB118.png|150px|left|Lieutenant Aitas]] Theo's friendship with the station's Chief of Intelligence began when Theo was struggling to come to terms with the torture he had suffered at the hands of the Orion Syndicate. The two began meditating together in the station's Ashalla District. Theo has come to respect and depend on Aitas' skills as an Intelligence operative and also her advice as a friend. During Chennel's invasion of the station, he trusted Aitas completely and saw her as a potential command level officer. Theo was also one of the first people who Aitas told about her pregnancy. When she volunteered herself for a mission to rescue Flynn, [[Arturo Maxwell]] and [[Zel Rohan]] from Orion slavers following Chennel's defeat, Theo was openly worried about sending her, but kept her confidence about her unborn baby. Aitas was present when Theo was promoted by Sal Taybrim in mid-2395 and the following day he met her son, Aurelio, for the first time.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
*'''[[Baylen Anders]]''': [[File:Aeut0h.png|150px|right|Lieutenant Commander 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, despite the dire circumstances of the mission. By the end of January 2393 they were a couple and after a soiree at Theo's new apartment in the New York District, where Baylen gave him images of every military vessel called Columbia as well as plaque made from the Columbia's hull plating, the two spent their first night together. After the events of 'All Time High' the two agree to foster a child, Mason Parker, found orphaned on Tilanna V which further cements their commited relationship. However, the relationship ended when Baylen takes Mase to raise him on Risa, away from the 'dangers' of Starbase 118. He pre-records a mesage to Theo.
