Given first impressions, Tildaen might come across as quite shy and jittery. He stutters when he is nervous, and he is nervous most of the time when moving outside his usual circle of friends. Owing to his difficult upbringing, he is prone to being quite insecure, focussing his attention on trying to please others. He can also be very controlling, or overly sensitive, imagining bad intentions when there weren't any.

If unbalanced or intimidated, Tildaen is likely to treat any point of view other than his own with a kind of amused indifference or a tendency to keep those with differing attitudes and opinions at a distance. At its worst, his conflict with the obstinate and unfeeling contingent realities of the world has him retreat to a kind of psychological castle where only those who have the “right” or “nice” approach can enter, and where feelings based on often tortured logic, attitudes and judgements reign supreme and cannot be questioned; a place where: “give and you shall receive” can ironically twist quickly into: “off with his head!”

Tildaen Ethelwin is eager to prove himself to be a capable Science Officer by overcoming his insecurities and growing as a person. He is eager to please those around him, but also hopes to make the people about the Triumphant think outside the military box. He primarily considers himself a Scientist and an explorer, not a soldier. In his personal life, he hopes to be able to improve the extremely strained relationships with his family whilst pursuing his romantic interests. Sadly, keeping a balance between those two has proven to be almost impossible in the past.

Tildaen Ethelwin is proud to have defeated a Klingon thug on his first Away Mission.

===Parents===   

* '''Father''': Gerdaen Sandalari, homemaker

Tildaen Ethelwin was born in the city of Rotterdam on Earth, to Betazoid parents. His mother Yaxara Ethelwin was (and is) an ambitious doctor and medical researcher, operating on various postings in the European Alliance. In this task she is dutifully assisted by her husband Gerdaen Sandalari.

Unsurprisingly, Tildaen received a very traditional and stern Betazoid upbringing. At a young age, he was sent to a pre-school for Betazoid children. His telepathic and artistic abilities could better developed there, in a nurturing setting with many adults and positive influences. His parents also found it essential that their son would engage in an early bonding process with other Betazoid children. His arranged marriage (a half-betazoid girl called Jemma Summers) attended the same pre-school and went on to attend the same Betazoid-only Middle School on earth.

Jemma's human father, Peter Summers, became something of an adoptive father to Tildaen. The youth readily adopted his cosmopolitan attitudes, abandoned his faith in the Four Deities, and took a great interest in science. In this period, he developed a strong desire to become a StarFleet officer.

====Starfleet Academy====

Before enrolling into the the Academy, Tildaen spent a year and a half doing a medical internship, using the Interspecies Medical Exchange programme to receive a field post on Mars. His experience helping the family practice, and several elective courses at the StarFleet Academy later on, make him qualified to serve as an assistant medical officer.
