Tobias Prex was the first of two sons born to Corbin and Esme. As the son of a Federation diplomat, Prex spent many of his earliest years away from his native world. Corbin believed that this would give his son important perspective on the customs and cultures of other races. These experiences in his formative years gave Tobias an appreciation for the diplomatic process and led to him considering a career following in his father's footsteps. | |||
When the Dominion War began, Corbin felt it was no longer safe for his two children to be with him on his assignments. He sent his children back to the Trill homeworld with his wife Esme to ensure their well-being. Still minded to pursue a career as a diplomat, Corbin undertook a degree in counselling. After graduating in 2378, a friend of Tobias' father, Ambassador Vadosia, asked if Tobias would like to spend some time working alongside him as an aide to gain experience. He agreed and spent a year working for Vadosia. | |||
It was during his time working for Vadosia that his ambitions changed. His father had always been vocal that 'real diplomacy' was done by the Federation's ambassadors yet when working in the field, Tobias observed that it is the explorers in Starfleet who were the ones making first contact and having to establish a dialogue. He began to think of becoming a Starfleet officer. | |||
Tobias was also beginning to consider his identity as a Trill, realizing that he knew less about his own culture than he did about many of the other races with whom he came into contact. The more he studied the history of his kind, the more he came to believe that he would not be fulfilling his potential unless he became one of the small proportion of Trills that were joined. He sent in his application to the Symbiosis Committee and was assigned a docent to establish his suitability as a host. | |||
Recommended by his docent, Tobias was joined to the Brel symbiont on 238001.11. After the joining however Tobias struggled with the four other lifetimes of experiences and memories that were now part of him. His relationships with his parents worsened and he no longer felt capable of being near them. Instead he was once again thinking of a career in Starfleet, believing that if he was to start pursuing his own ambitions again he might find peace with his new self. | |||
Tobias was accepted into the Academy in 2381 where he took courses in counseling, conflict resolution, sociology, anthropology and economics. Whilst he performed strongly academically, his behavior was at times erratic and this did not escape the notice of some of his lecturers. Despite these reservations, Tobias did well enough to graduate from the Academy and receive his posting to a cadet cruise. | |||
