Wil's grandfather, [[Astrad Ukinix]], had a falling out with his parents and became disillusioned with [[Betazoid]] culture and religion. He also hated his telepathic and empathic abilities.
Astrad left [[Betazed]] to start a new life. He ended up on [[Earth]] working in wineries in France, where he met Wil's grandmother, Hayley, an Australian studying viticulture in France. Hayley and Astrad eventually married, and moved to [[Australia]] to run a winery in a small rural community, which suited Astrad. Astrad and Hayley had two children - Sally (female) and Anacem (male - Wil's father).
Anacem studied Oenology, becoming a wine maker. Whilst in Fremantle on the night before a wine maker’s conference, Anacem met his future wife, [[Stacey Ukinix]]. Stacey was born in Melbourne, Australia but moved to Fremantle after she joined Starfleet as a tactical officer. Stacey and Anacem married quickly after their first meeting, and soon after had their first and only child, Wil.
Wil’s home has always been Fremantle, but he attended junior school in Beijing, the Oceanic Regional Middle School in Auckland, New Zealand, and the [[Dr. Andrew Thomas Senior School|Dr. Andy Thomas Senior School in Sydney, Australia]].

Before joining Starfleet Academy, Wil took a "gap year" (that ended up being almost two years), which is why he was slightly older than other cadets.

Wil's grandfather [[Astrad Ukinix|Astradem Ukinix]] was a Son of the [[Ninth House of Betazed]].  His parents [[Kirilow Ukinix|Kirilow]] and [[Alacem Ukinix|Alacem]] stripped him of his title in 2341 after he refused betrothal to a Daughter of the [[Sixth House of Betazed|Sixth House]]{{SimRef|SIMTITLE=Patriarch Ascendant (Part 2)|SIMLINK=https://groups.google.com/g/sb118-amity/c/-v7pxCJsJQM/m/KxQEv8LnFAAJ|CHARACTERS=Kirilow, Alacem, Astradem and Vaxa Ukinix}}[[Sixth House of Betazed|.]]
Astradem left [[Betazed]] for Earth to find and meet the woman he was in love with but had never met, [[Hayley Ukinix|Hayley Cullen]], an Australian studying viticulture. Astradem changed his name to "Astrad", the childhood nickname used by his elder sisters to tease him.  Hayley and Astrad married and moved to [[Australia]] to own and operate a winery in a rural community in the Barossa wine region. Astrad and Hayley had two children - Sally (female) and Anacem (male - Wil's father).  Astrad and Hayley kept Astrad's former nobility a secret from their family and community.


Anacem studied Oenology, becoming a wine maker. Whilst in Fremantle on the night before a wine maker’s conference, Anacem met his future wife, [[Stacey Ukinix]]. Stacey was born in Melbourne, Australia but moved to Fremantle after she joined Starfleet as a tactical officer. Stacey and Anacem married quickly after their first meeting, and soon after had their first and only child, Wil.

Several months later, Wil received a written message from his second cousin [[Keehani Ral]] asking for assistance so that her mother [[Vaxa Ral]] could reclaim the title of Matriarch of the Ninth House.  When [[Ghant Xerix]] returned to the Veritas, Ghant's cousin Choupette was killed in a bombing in France.  Wil decided to attend Choupette's funeral on Betazed to support his new crewmate.  Whilst there, he met Keehani for the first time{{SimRef|SIMTITLE=Foreign Land|SIMLINK=https://groups.google.com/g/sb118-veritas/c/KzuYTMN-FUQ/m/Ir_ZmeofAgAJ|CHARACTERS=Lt JG [[Wil Ukinix]]|SHIP=[[USS Veritas]]|STARDATE=239605.12|REFNAME=ForeignLand}}.

There was nothing special or extraordinary about Wil's upbringing - until his teenage years. At age 16, Wil (like his grandfather) developed strong empathic abilities, which Wil struggled with, affecting his education. He received counselling from several Earth stationed Betazoids to help him cope, with limited success.
