Jack was born in space--the medical bay of Starbase 211, between Betazed and Cardassian territory--but only lived in space for a year and four months. Shortly after his father and older sister died in a Cardassian attack, he, his eldest brother, and his mother left the Starbase to live on Earth. They were taken in by his uncle on his father's side, who lived in Seattle, WA. From that time on, his brother Jarod refused to ever travel anywhere again, despising all technology and Starfleet especially for "killing" their father. Jack, however, dreamed of the stars from very early on, and loved traveling all over Earth. They had an uncle, Ted, on their mother's side, who lived and taught in Oxford whom Jack would visit nearly every summer from about the age of three on until graduating from Starfleet Academy. Uncle Ted pulled some strings to get Elisabeth a teaching position at Oxford University, but she declined the opportunity because of Jarod's absolute refusal to travel. Instead, she began teaching at a local high school and eventually became the principal of the school. Jarod now teaches mathematics there, but tends to avoid applying his skill in mathematics to anything warp-related, although he teaches basic warp-field mathematics because the school board requires him to. The brothers hardly speak to each other at all, though their mother always tries to encourage each of them to "reach out" to the other. Jack was always a bit closer to both of his uncles than to his mother, though he tried to send her regular updates on his life while at the Academy. | |||
