== Personal History ==
== History ==
Stephen Carmody is the older child of WilliamCarmody, a Cultural Anthropologist teaching at Cardiff University, Cardiff, Wales, UK, Earth. He is also a civilian advisor in cultures to StarFleet. His mother, Jean, is the Steven Pinker Linguistics Professor at Cardiff University. She has done extensive work on the Universal Language Matrix, which is used by StarFleet in its Universal Translating Processes.  
Carmody is a native of Wales, and is of a long ancestry of Welshmen, dating to the time when the Celts ruled Britannia. His family is a family of chiefs of the White Horse Clan, and Carmody currently is the ceremonial chief. He has in his possession the sword of the clan, Arianrhod, handed down through the centuries to the elder son of the Carmodys. The possession of the sword designates him as the head of the clan.


Stephen was a bright child, taking easily after both parents, and exhibits an astonishing talent for the precise interpretation of alien languages. Unlike many talented people, however, Stephen exhibits an eclectic range of abilities: he has interests in English Romantic Period poetry, especially Coleridge, he has mastered the art of French cooking, is an outstanding chess player, and survived for a year in an ice cave on Exo III with his sister Maggie, living on what he could catch to eat. He is a top-flight survivalist, and has abilities with both hand-to-hand combat and with a variety of weapons.  
Carmody’s father is the head of the Life Sciences Department at Cardiff University, and works by project for StarFleet in the First Contact Division. His mother, also a full professor at Cardiff University, is a philosopher and poet of some renown. From them both, Carmody got his propensity for scientific enquiry, and his philosophical nature. He was always encouraged to explore the world in which he lived, and often spent summers at the family farm near Swansea, tending the horses and swimming in the Irish Sea. When Carmody decided he wanted to go to the Academy, both of his parents approved completely, only wishing for his happiness. When the opportunity arises, which is seldom, he always chooses to go home and spend time with his horses and his parents.


In his 18th year, he was accompanying his mother, Jean, at a Linguistic conference in London. During this time, his best friend, Bryn Llanwyd, was killed in a barroom altercation in Glasgow. When Stephen attempted to learn the truth behind this tragedy, he was stonewalled by a police and government cover-up that deeply puzzled him and haunts him to this day. He feels extreme guilt about his friend's death, believing that if he had remained in Cardiff, his friend would be still living. The guilt has warped his personality somewhat: he is extremely ill-at-ease in social situations, has no close friends, and prefers solitude to social company.  
Carmody is also father to Eliza Carmody, offspring of the relationship between him and Susan Banks, former medical officer aboard the Ursa Major. She is a bright young girl, and like Carmody, deeply curious about the world she lives in.

He is a good friend, when he has one, is normally outgoing enough, is extremely loyal to those he cares about, but is frighteningly unstable at times.
