More than just Theo's former Commanding Officer, Sal Taybrim became Theo's mentor in the two years he spent as the Betazoid's Executive Officer. It was Sal who first spotted Theo's potential and transferred him out of engineering and put him on to the command track. Starbase 118's struggles against the resurgent [[Orion Syndicate]] and the corrupt Starfleet officials in their pockets led the two men working closely to thwart them. This working relationship eventually blossomed in to a close friendship, with Theo learning much about command and even himself as Sal guided him through tough times with gentle support and encouragement. After one arduous mission, Theo contemplated leaving Starfleet but the strength of loyalty to Sal made him realise he was where he needed to be. Even after Theo's reassignment to the [[USS Blackwell]] the two remained in touch and it was Sal who was given the honour of promoting Theo to Captain. When Sal himself was promoted, the Columbia's assignment to the [[Sagittarius Reach]] meant he was unable to attend the promotion ceremony- however he still found the time to send his close friend a message of congratulations. | More than just Theo's former Commanding Officer, Sal Taybrim became Theo's mentor in the two years he spent as the Betazoid's Executive Officer.

Theo first met Jarred on his first day aboard the [[USS Blackwell]] where the man was serving as Chief Security Officer. One of his first acts was to promote Thoran to Lieutenant Commander, believing that it should have already happened. Having a talent for spotting promising command-level candidates, he saw this in Jarred and kept an eye on him. Following the reassignment of his second XO, [[Caden Adyr]], Theo offered Jarred the chance to serve as First Officer and he was grateful when he agreed. Theo affectionately refers to Thoran by the title 'Number One'. While there is a clear CO/XO dynamic between the two, Theo was noticeably grief stricken when he was duped into believing that Thoran and four other members of an away team had been killed in an explosion. Theo also trusted Jarred enough to allow him to represent the Federation and Starfleet on an officer exchange program with the Imperial [[Losarian]] Commonwealth. | |||
