[[File:BajoranFarmland.webp|250px|thumb|Right|Bajoran Farmland similar to the Etan family homestead.]]Born to resistance fighters- turned-farmers on the outskirts of the Tamulna Municipality in the Musilla Province on Bajor. He became interested in history relatively young after his mother read him stories of Bajor’s storied past and was encouraged to study archeology by a teacher at the local secondary school. His parents were supportive of his choice of career, although he believes that his father was somewhat disappointed by it at first. At the age of sixteen, he was selected as a volunteer at the excavation of the Holy City of B'Hala. He joined Starfleet as he compelled to give something back to the organisation that- in his mind- had helped his people recover from the Occupation. Holding Benjamin Sisko, a Starfleet officer, in reverence was also a deciding factor in his enrolment in Starfleet. In his spare time, he is a springball enthusiast, both a participant and as a spectator. | [[File:BajoranFarmland.webp|250px|thumb|Right|Bajoran Farmland similar to the Etan family homestead.]]Born to resistance fighters- turned-farmers on the outskirts of the Tamulna Municipality in the Musilla Province on Bajor.

As a teenager he became aware that his parents were former resistance fighters but did not pursue any details after seeing his mother's reaction to his initial question. He was unable to quantify the look in her eyes, but he knew it was enough to stop from delving any further into the topic. | |||
He was a devout follower of The Way of The Prophets and believed that his gods have laid out a path for him to follow. He took a copy of ''Yalar's New Insights'' with him when he was assigned to the ''Resolution''. He also visited a Bajoran temple on Vulcan shortly after he reported for duty aboard the Resolution. He was noted for viewing everything in his life through the prism of his beliefs and through science, which played a similarly important part in his life. | He was a devout follower of The Way of The Prophets and believed that his gods have laid out a path for him to follow.
