Biography

Outside of Starfleet, very little is known about Tristan's past, save that he came from the city, but grew up in the countrysides. In Starfleet however, the man was on the fast track for multiple career opportunities. He excelled in medical research, and began to pursue a career there. Lacking an interest in command, the man was content to spend his life in the labs, studying and inventing cures. Fate, however, had different plans for him. When he was serving on board the Resolve as a medical officer. During a violent battle, he had become the last surviving ranking officer. Taking command of the ship, he made a cautious approach, retreating to an asteroid field to enact repairs, he then returned to reengage the enemy, and this time, took victory, rescuing the crew of the Resolve and two hundred more lives on board a refugee ship. This act earned him the Karagite Order of Heroism award upon his return, and his promotion to captain of the ship he had rescued from destruction.

He defined himself during this time, and earned a Starfleet Medal of Honor and a Star Cross for multiple deeds of valor and heroism. Being a man who valued and saved lives, Tristan frequently came into odds with command requirements over doing what he believed was right, and found himself having to do more and more deeds that he deemed to be utterly wrong, even if it preserved the ideals that the Federation stood for. He was to be even more greatly tested when he and his ship vanished after encountering a spatial anomaly, and he found himself stranded and lost. The next few years had him fighting his way through space, looking for a way home. While he kept most of his crew alive, and his ship relatively intact, during the final leg before they'd reach more familiar territory, Tristan was involved in the most climatic and violent battle of his life, and it was here, he was beginning to question his ability to command any longer.

He then slipped through Romulan space, and made their way to Starbase 84, where he hoped to surrender command of the Resolve and retire from Starfleet. But he was unable to do so, when he was caught in the arrival of the USS Theurgy. His sense of responsibility and capacity overcame any doubts, and he returned to his still badly damaged vessel, bringing back the crew, for one final battle, with his closest friend, the young Krystal Tancredi leading the oddly named Tribble Squadron of combat shuttles to aid him. But something about the entire matter seemed off, and perhaps it was just the stress getting to him...

Personality Profile

Tristan is generally a peaceful and quiet man. Introspective. He fancies himself more of a man meant for peaceful and quiet times, but he has shown that he is capable not only of command and combat, but when necessary, he can be downright merciless in his executions of orders. His loyalty is first and foremost to those he deems family, and right now, that's his crew. He also is quite a just person, and likes to hear both sides of the coin before making a judgment call. Moreover, he doesn't always agree with all policies or ideals of the Federation, not when it contradicts itself or provides loopholes that justify or allows criminal activity, or when it prevents him from doing what he perceives to be the right thing. He holds strongly to the belief that morality should not be compromised, and often, he finds the law compromises morality, and as such, he encourages people to adopt free thought and voicing of opinions, and he makes choices based on the majority of opinion, along with that of his own.

Physical Profile

Tristan is particularly impressive man with a natural presence that can be both invisibile or ever-present if he so chose. He's a well built man with somewhat rugged looks, and natural tousled dark hair, intensely green eyes, and a strong jawline. He visibly works out quite a bit and at his height, it suits him well. Despite his imposing potential, he has a naturally calming expression, that puts a person at ease when they look at him. His gentle demeanour adds to the effect.
