Character Profiles
Physical Data: Family: Personality: MacLeod is gruff, level-headed but sometimes temperamental. He is not one for mincing words and likes people to be straight forward and honest with him. Description: Tall, handsome and muscular, MacLeod has managed to hold onto his good looks despite his age. He stays in shape and appears to be a man 20-years younger. His years as a special ops commando and intelligence agent have left him with some scars and a slight limp as he's gotten older. History: Born in 2311 in Edinburgh, Scotland, MacLeod's father was a soldier serving with the Federation who fought in several conflicts in the early part of the 24th century. The biggest battle he saw during his tours of duty was the Tomed Incident, a confrontation between the United Federation of Planets and the Romulan Star Empire in 2311 that cost thousands of lives. The incident led to the signing of the Treaty of Algeron, which banned Federation research into or use of any cloaking device, and led to the withdrawal of the Romulan government from interstellar affairs until 2364. During his father's time away at war, MacLeod grew up in Scotland, where his mother worked as a warp core engineer at Starfleet. As a boy, MacLeod spent a great deal of time around the scientific community and his mother hoped he might one day follow her footsteps as a scientist or engineer, but young Ian fancied his father's line of work. In 2329 Ian MacLeod went to Starfleet Academy and in 2333 he was assigned to the U.S.S. Kraken and saw his first action in conflict with the Ferengi, not long after the destruction of the U.S.S. Stargazer. He rose through the ranks over the years, serving aboard several ships until 2344 when he was recruited by Rear Admiral Sorvek into Starfleet Intelligence. MacLeod spent several years after on various missions for Starfleet Intelligence. His missions took him to many alien worlds and put him into conflicts with many enemies of the Federation. In 2346 he was assigned as an intelligence officer to the Federation Embassy on Qo'noS and it was there he met a Klingon woman named K'zarah. He was involved with this woman for several months and eventually he was reassigned and left the Klingon homeworld. He did not know and was never told he had fathered a child while he was with K'zarah and a few months later his daughter, Chas'naH, was born. MacLeod was married to his now former wife, Darla, in 2351 and the couple had a son, Michael. The MacLeod's became estranged and they were divorced in 2365. In 2376 MacLeod was recruited, again by Admiral Sorvek, to serve as captain of the U.S.S. Fearless, a Sovereign-class starship assigned as the base of operations for a team of Shadow Operations personnel. It was there he met Chas'naH, who served with the SO team, and learned of her heritage. MacLeod commanded Fearless for a number of missions until Starfleet shut the organization down in 2387. Ian has spent the past seven years as vice admiral with Starfleet Intelligence, assigned to Admiral Sorvek's staff.
Physical Data: Family: Personality: Lazarus is a rough individual who is seemingly emotionless. He is efficient, cool and calculating, but has been know to have a bad temper. He is usually quite logical, but sometimes at a stressful moment has been known to become something of a risk taker. Strongly hates Cardassians. Description: Lazarus is a large, sturdy man who works out frequently. He is bald, wears no facial hair and has a computer implant on the right side of his head (see below). Right arm is a visibly mechanical appendage. History: Born on the Federation agricultural colony of Osaka Prime in 2322, Quentin Lazarus was the son of farmers on the lush planet of some 58,000 settlers from Earth, Bolinar, Andoria and Vulcan. His parents encouraged Quentin to pursue his dream of space exploration, so at age 18 he was sent to Earth where he joined Starfleet Academy. After the academy, in 2343, Ensign Lazarus was posted aboard the USS Columbia, a Soyuz-class ship which was sent on a one-year deep space survey mission. Lazarus was assigned to ship's security. He remained aboard the ship through the one-year survey and for two more years after that, on various scientific and research missions in the Alpha and Beta Quadrants. In 2346, Lazarus was promoted to lieutenant junior grade and was transferred to Starfleet Intelligence. He began there in a security capacity, assigned to the listening post on Gormas VII, near the Romulan Neutral Zone. When the listening post was attacked by Romulans during the Markera Skirmish of 2347, Lazarus was one of only six survivors. He single-handedly repelled a Romulan boarding party and saved the listening post's commanding officer. The skirmish soon ended diplomatically and the post was closed. Lazarus was then reassigned to Starfleet Intelligence field operative training, where he spent six months in training to be a spy. Not long after that, he was sent into the field on a series of classified missions from 2347-2354. During this time he became a full-lieutenant and at the end of this period was sent to the Federation Embassy on Cardassia Prime as an information officer. During his early years in intelligence, Lazarus met his future wife --T'Lara, a Vulcan tactical analyst with Starfleet Intelligence. The two fell in love and were married in 2351. T'Lara left Starfleet to pursue her other interest in alternative energy research so they settled on Lazarus' homeworld of Osaka Prime where a group of scientists were busy researching new forms of energy. Twin sons Karl and Sahat were born in 2354 and daughter, Carolyn, was born in 2356. Assigned to Cardassia was good for Lazarus because he was only three days from Osaka Prime, which was near the Cardassian/Federation border. Every chance he got he went home to visit his family. But from 2354-58, relations between the Cardassian Union and the Federation dissolved over various border disagreements and the staff of the embassy was expelled in 2358. Shortly thereafter, Cardassia and the Federation went to war. Lazarus was assigned back to Starfleet Intelligence in San Francisco, but was granted shore leave to go back to Osaka Prime and convince his family to return to Earth with him. Being so close to Cardassian space with a war underway was unsettling for Lazarus and he wanted his entire family safe with him on Earth. Shortly after he arrived, Osaka Prime fell under attack. When conventional means of attack and invasion failed, the Cardassians launched a metagentic weapon at the colony. Devastation from the device was massive. More than half of the 58,000 colonists died, the survivors suffered from various forms of ailments ranging from skin irritations to neurological damage and organ failure. Lazarus' entire family -- wife, children and parents -- died in the attack. Lazarus was found alive and taken to a Federation medical ship, the USS Goddard where a massive effort to save his life took place. When it was over, Quentin Lazarus was alive but in horrible condition. The metagenic weapon had caused massive damage to his body, as a result he lost many of his internal organs, all of which could not be replaced with cloned or donated organs because of the widespread metagenic damage to his body. So an artificial heart, lungs, liver, stomach and several other organs had to be substituted. Also replaced was his legs (both mechanical), one arm (a visible mechanical appendage) and a section of his brain, which was replaced with a neural-computer implant, a portion of which extends out the right side of his face and head. Lazarus was also damaged psychologically. His family was dead, his body was almost completely mechanical and he was in a deep depression. It took almost two years for him to completely recover physically, but even today he is still very angry and sometimes depressed over his family. He returned to duty with Starfleet Intelligence in 2360 under the command of Rear Admiral Erik Jaegar, who was then with Starfleet Intelligence black ops. Lazarus, now a lieutenant commander, had shown a driving determination to join the war effort against the Cardassians, and with his heightened strength and abilities due to the replacement limbs and organs, Jaegar sent Lazarus on a number of secret missions behind Cardassian lines. Again, most of his missions remain classified, but he is believed to be responsible for raids on some Cardassian weapon design/construction facilities, several supply depots, two metagenic weapon depots and he may have been the assassin who carried out the hit on Kaylan Adan Dutak -- a Cardassian admiral who was poised to seize control of Cardassia Prime in a suspected military coup. If Dutak had seized power, the war with the Cardassians probably would have continued for many more years. After the war ended in the mid-2360s, Commander Lazarus left Starfleet to deal with his personal demons. Little is known of his life from 2366 to 2372, but he was believed to have spent time living in the Volon Colonies and may have been part of the Maquis, but this is only speculation by Starfleet Intelligence analysists based on several unconfirmed reports he was part of a more radical and violent Maquis cell. Lazarus resurfaced in 2372 as a 'consultant' to Admiral Jaegar, the field commander for Shadow Operations branch of Starfleet Intelligence. It is believed he was used on a freelance basis for several secret missions against the Klingons during the Federation/Klingon conflict of 2372-73 and possibly against the Dominion on more than one occasion. In 2373, Lazarus was reinstated to Starfleet at the rank of commander and was assigned as first officer of the USS Vanguard, a ship assigned to Starfleet Intelligence as a mobile listening post. His reactivation to Starfleet duty was carried out by Admiral Jaegar. Here he served for almost one year until he was promoted to the rank of captain and assigned to the USS Intruder with Shadow Operations in 2374. Lazarus remained with Shadow Operations for the duration. In 2387 he was asked by Sorvek and MacLeod to help them determine if Shadow Operation Admiral Erik Jaegar was working with Section 31. Lazarus was able to get his friend, Jaegar, to confess and he exposed Jaegar’s involvement. After Jaegar was tried and convicted, Lazarus stepped down from Shadow Ops and retired. As a civilian, Lazarus met with several cybernetic specialists who were able to rebuild the damaged part of his body with new, state-of-the-art cybernetic parts. When they were finished, Lazarus once again looked normal, though his one cybernetic eye is a little glassy looking. His reconstructed arm, legs and organs are stronger than an average human. In 2394, having spent several years working for a mercenary troop called Freelance Guns Inc., Sorvek and MacLeod convinced him to return to a new Shadow Operations as captain of the prototype U.S.S. Resurrection. Starfleet Academy Skill: Command
Physical Data: Biological Father: Connor Marcus, Federation bureaucrat Personality: T'Aayla is usually quiet, calculating, observant and aloof, although she can display a horrific ferocity and temper if provoked. She sometimes experiences periods of dis-associative feelings and lack of emotion. She is very hard to read. Description: T'Aayla is attractive, very well-muscled and athletic, yet still possessing feminine curves. She has black hair that she wears long and cut in the traditional Romulan style. When on combat missions she will braid it in a manner similar to Earth's Viking shield maidens. She has piercing green eyes, and these are probably the most noticeable feature about her. She has a medium build, and her body is covered in a myriad of faint scars which she generally keeps covered with clothing. She prefers to wear clothing composed of shades of green and black, which are the colors of House Raillius. History: T'Aayla Praiin Raillius (Jamie T. Marcus) traced her lineage to a brief liaison between her four times great grandmother Carol Marcus and James T. Kirk after the Genesis incident. Her father, the only one in the Marcus family who didn't detest the famous Starfleet Captain, had played a joke on the family by naming his daughter Jamie Theresa Marcus. It was days later, after the birth certificate had been registered, that the family realized that "Jamie T." Marcus was strangely familiar sounding to "James T." Kirk. Jamie's father, a frustrated Federation bureaucrat, longed for a better and more interesting life for his daughter. He was divorced from Jamie's mother when Jamie was only three, and groomed his one and only daughter for a career in Starfleet from an early age. Utterly loyal and dedicated to her father, and adopting the personality of her famous Starfleet forebear, Jamie entered Starfleet Academy. Through diligent study and some devil's luck, she graduated in the top 2% of her class. She rose in rank quickly, making lieutenant within a year. She jumped at the chance to join the new Starfleet covert organization named Shadow Ops, and after years of harrowing Shadow Ops service on the USS Fearless, and USS Avenger, had made promotion to Lt. Commander and then Commander at age 26. After Shadow Ops was disbanded by orders of Starfleet Command, Jamie rejoined the regular ranks. Based on recommendations from Shadow Ops staff, she was promoted to Captain and given her first solo command of the Frigate Phoenix. The Phoenix was lost with all hands in an engagement when it attacked a D'deridex Warbird that had stolen top secret cloak detection technology from a raid on a Federation scientific research base. Violating orders not to engage before superior force arrived; Jamie Marcus attacked the Warbird in order to prevent it from crossing into Romulan space. She disabled the Warbird, and it and the Phoenix drifted in the neutral zone. The Federation fleet arrived, but Captain Sorvek, in charge of the Federation force, refused to enter the Neutral Zone. Two additional Warbirds arrived after the Phoenix had self- destructed in a final attempt to destroy the Warbird and its stolen Federation technology. Captain Marcus was court-martialed in absentia, found guilty and relieved of Command post mortem. Nine years later Jamie Marcus resurfaced, albeit looking and acting very Romulan, during an incident involving the Romulan Empire, Klingon Empire, and the Federation that was linked to the disappearance of Admiral MacLeod's daughter. Jamie's status is currently top secret with only a few command officers, including Admiral MacLeod, Captain Riker, Captain Duncan, and Ambassador Worf, having knowledge of her status.
Physical Data: Family Personality: Shunned by both cultures he hails from, Jahkar is bitter toward most people, especially Romulans and Klingons. He is usually quiet, short tempered and has something of a mean-streak in him from time to time. Still, he respects authority and follows orders...whether he likes them or not. As for his rough childhood, Jahkar has often thought about seeking out his father and killing him for his treatment of his mother..whom he cherishes. Whether he will ever seek out Nelvak remains to be seen. Descripition: Big burly individual. Many Klingon characteristics with some Romulan. He has a slightly lighter skin tone than most Klingons. The ridges of his forehead are there, but they are less prominent than a full Klingon. His eyebrows are upturned like a Romulan and he has Romulan ears, usually concealed by his long hair. His teeth are also more Romulan than Klingon. When he's off duty, Jahkar wears dark clothing, usually something leather. He tends to stay away from traditional Klingon or Romulan clothing. History: His mother was taken prisoner three years before he was born when the Klingon Bird of Prey she served on was captured in battle against the Romulans. Convicted as a war criminal, his mother and the crew of the ship were sentenced to life in a Romulan prison facility on Melkeron IV. Within the first two years, most of the Klingons died after trying to escape or by taking their own lives. Jahkar's mother, K'nara, kept hope she'd one day escape, and eventually caught the eye of the prison warden, a tyranical Romulan named Nelvak. Nelvak found his advances toward K'nara spurned, so he began torturing other Klingon prisoners to break their spirits and make them serve as slaves to the Romulan Empire. He told K'nara if she would be his consort he would stop. So she complied. A year later Jahkar was born. After a few months K'nara learned Nelvak intended to kill Jahkar, so she and the surviving Klingons formed an escape plan and were successful in fleeing the prison. Eventually back in Klingon space, she found herself and her young son an outcast in Klingon society. She was considered a Romulan collaborator and her son an abomination -- the product of a union between a Romulan and Klingon. Dishonored and hated, K'nara tried to remain in the Empire, but by the time Jahkar was 10, they were finally driven out and went to live on the Federation colony of Toras III. There, Jahkar tried to grow up as normally as he could, but things weren't always much better than they'd been in the Empire. The human children also disliked him and this made his life as difficult as it had been among Klingons. At age 18, Jahkar went off and joined the Federation Marines. He completed Marine Recon Special Forces training. He first saw action during the Cardassian withdrawal from Bajor where his unit was assigned as peacekeepers at the end of the Occupation. Later, his unit saw heavy combat against the Klingons when they invaded the Arcanus sector and dissolved the Khitomer Accords. Jahkar became good in hand-to-hand combat and was an ace shot with a sniping rifle. He scored nearly 28 confirmed kills during his service in the war against the Klingons. After the conflict with the Klingons ended, Sergeant Jahkar was loaned to Starfleet's Shadow Operations where his skill as a commando and sniper would be employed. Jahkar took part in many Shadow Operations missions and was assigned to several teams, including those aboard the U.S.S. Avenger, U.S.S. Ticonderoga and U.S.S. Intruder. In this final stint with Shadow Ops, he was assigned to Bravo Squad and there he wed his love interest, Lt. Dara Illia. Shortly after he and Illia were married, the couple had a child, and then Illia was tragically killed on a mission. Following this terrible event, Jahkar left Shadow Operations and took his step son, Tajel, then eight-years-old, and his newborn daughter, Kedanya, and returned to Earth where he sought and was granted an assignment as a special forces trainer with the Federation Marine Corps. With Tajel now off to Starfleet Academy and Kedanya serving in the Bajoran military, Jahkar has found himself eager to get back into the field. He has spent the last six months in training himself to get his skills upgraded so he can accept a field assignment. In 2394, just prior to being contacted by Admiral Ian MacLeod about a posting with a new Shadow Operations venture, Jahkar received a promotion to colonel.
