The only child of Josiah and Madeline Whittaker, Theo was born on October 18th 2364 at the T'Pol's Landing University Hospital. His late father was a professor of English Literature at the university and his mother is a Starfleet officer, currently serving as Commanding Officer of the ''USS Orb of Prophecy & Change''. Theo's decision to follow his mother in Starfleet led to an acrimonious rift with his father who had hoped he would follow him into a life of academic study. This rift was, unfortunately, not mended by the time that his father passed away in November 2389.

Theo's early days as the latest Captain of the ''Columbia'' were unfortunately marked with a series of arguments with Professor [[Olivia Sellards]], the Director of Research at the Federation science station [[Dehner Base]] on [[Delta Vega I]]. Sellards resented Starfleet's presence in the region and the defensive emplacements they had insisted be installed to protect the base. She made several unsuccessful attempts to convince Theo into advocating their removal. Every time he refused and every time it ended acrimoniously. After one argument, Theo takes the [[USS Kumari]], the Captain's Yacht on a test flight and crashes on a planet where he was quickly captured by [[Human Augments]] who had somehow ended on the planet. Following this he became embroiled in the politics of Dehner Base when it transpired that Professor Sellards was hiding evidence of an important archeological discovery on Delta Vega II: ancient Tkon artefacts. The two clashed several times before he ordered Columbia into a nebula in pursuit of raiders that had stolen the artefacts. This was a success and it led to Theo and Sellards calling a truce. He also agreed to allow [[Jev crim Glev]], Dehner Base's head of archeology to work onboard Columbia full time. Theo then established first contact with the Imperial [[Losarian]] Commonwealth and agreed to an officer exchange program, which has led to friendly relations between the Federation and the Commonwealth. He once again encountered Tkon technology on an abandoned world and saved the Ma'rithh Kenn people from extinction within an advanced computer network of Tkon origin. Most recently, he encountered the [[Shanshuri]] after being duped into believing that five members of his senior staff were killed in the of duty. He and the remaining crew uncovered evidence of the Shanshuri's duplicity also unearthed evidence of a powerful new foe within the [[Sagittarius Reach]] who occupy a different phase variance.
