Character Draft Awaiting Approval
Doctor Nathan Frost, PhD, more commonly referred to as simply 'Frost', was a scientist serving aboard the USS Theurgy during the fight against the infested.
Before being contacted by Admiral Joseph Nerva Anderson in 2381, Frost was involved with the Federation Centre for Disease Control and Prevention for many years and, in this capacity, obtained first-hand experience biological warfare through the closing years of the Federation-Cardassian War and the subsequent Dominion War. During these years, Frost established himself as a brilliant microbiologist and one of the leading experts in immunology; serving on various advisory boards to Starfleet Headquarters, in which capacity he first met Admiral Anderson, and to the newly established Cardassian Government following the end of the Dominion War.
Biography
2336 - 2364: Early Life
Nathan Frost was born during a severe blizzard in the early morning of Sunday November 24, 2336 in the quaint seaport city of Saint John. Born as an only child to two civilians, with his father Ronald working as an analyst at Lloyds Register Group Limited and his mother Kimberly employed as a consultant at Federation Contract Engineering, Nathan’s childhood could be considered relatively unremarkable and relatively happy.
There is not a whole lot about Nathan’s early education that stands out either. He attended the Princess Elizabeth School in his hometown of Saint John for his early childhood- and elementary education before enrolling in the prestigious École Sainte-Anne in the nearby city of Fredericton for his secondary education. After graduating from École Sainte-Anne in 2354, the then 18-year old Nathan entered the faculty of Health Science at Oulton College, an esteemed educational facility located in the city of Moncton, which he graduated in 2358 at the age of 22 as a Bachelor of Health Sciences.
After his graduation from Oulton College, Nathan enrolled in the University of Toronto where he would study at the Dalla Lana School of Public Health. In the six years that followed, Nathan built onto the basis he’d laid out with his Bachelor degree by attending the Department of Hygiene and Preventive Medicine.
2364 - 2370: Federation-Cardassian War
Following his graduation from the University of Toronto in 2364, Nathan Frost found employment as a lab technician with the Federation Centre for Disease Control and Prevention. In this capacity, he worked at the Biosafety Level-4 Intergalactic Microbiology Laboratory on Ganymede, the largest moon of the Sol System’s planet of Jupiter.
In 2365, after roughly a year of employment as a lab technician, the Seventh Order of the Cardassian Guard laid siege to the Federation mining outpost at Rurius IIa. This moon, which orbited the gas giant known as Rurius II in the similarly named Rurius System of the Beta Ursae Sector Block, once featured large magma lakes which had long since cooled down into enormous sheets of obsidian due to tectonic activity. As a result, the moon's valuable resources were brought much closer to the surface and the so-called Obsidian Lakes had become a host to several highly profitable mining operations ever since. Due to the importance of these mining operations in providing resources necessary for starship construction, along with the Rurius System’s relatively close proximity to Cardassian space, it was frequently included in patrol routes of Starfleet ships. Thus, when the Seventh Order laid siege to the mining outpost, Starfleet was quick to respond and managed to repel the attack after weeks of fighting alongside the combative miners and other colonists.
Three weeks after the Siege of Rurius IIa came to an end however, Starfleet medical officers at Starbase 375 discovered a new disease during a medical examination of a Starfleet officer assigned the Nebula-class advanced science vessel USS Monitor. As more cases of this disease were reported over the weeks that followed and enough subsequent case studies were conducted to officially classify it as a viral hemmorrhagic fever, with patients in various worrying conditions, Starfleet medical personnel began to trace back the steps of the USS Monitor and compared it to known disease outbreaks. They eventually discovered that the ship had not only been present during the Siege of Rurius IIa and her crew had fought against the Cardassians in some of the most brutal groundside battles, but also visited several of the known outbreak sites after the Siege as part of her routine patrol schedule. Following this investigation, Rurius IIa was subsequently classified as the ground Ground Zero of the outbreak. At that point, with the first reports of deadly victims already beginning to find their way back to Starfleet Headquarters, the Federation Centre for Disease Control and Prevention was called in and they immediately dispatched a field team to the mining colony to research the disease. Amongst this field team was a promising young lab technician named Nathan Frost.
As a part of the field team, Nathan spent the next four years on Rurius IIa to research the disease, which was soon named the Obsidian Pox after the moon’s vast sheets of obsidian and the deforming, oozing black pox which were symptomatic of the disease. After two years of intensive disease surveillance and biomonitoring, the first clinical trials began and Nathan, as a microbiologist, was closely involved with studying the disease processes. It was during these studies when the team began to suspect that the outbreak wasn’t a natural occurrence at all, but rather a targeted biological attack by the Seventh Order. Their findings were reported to Starfleet and the Federation Centre for Disease Control and Prevention but, lacking solid proof, neither Nathan nor any of the other team members ever came to know if anyone acted on their suspicions. Regardless, in 2368, three years after the initial outbreak on Rurius IIa, the Obsidian Pox was finally brought under control and the first vaccines began to be distributed. At that point, most of the field team was recalled back to their previous postings but Nathan, along with a few other scientists, were transferred to the nearby Starbase 375 instead to monitor the effects of the vaccine and run further studies into the disease. During the year that followed, Nathan began to use his experiences to obtain a Doctorate in Immunology.
A year after he was finally recalled from Starbase 375 and returned to the Biosafety Level-4 Intergalactic Microbiology Laboratory on Ganymede, Nathan obtained his Doctorate in Immunology from the Science Institute of the prestigious British Oxford University.
2370 - 2373: Lor'Velan Cold Laboratories
After obtaining his Doctorate, Nathan was reassigned to the cold laboratories of the Federation Centre for Disease Control and Prevention, located near the Andorian city of Lor’Vela. In his new capacity as an Immunologist Nathan became part of a specialized team, some of whom were familiar faces from the Rurius IIa field team, that studied the widespread use of biological and biochemical weapons used by the Cardassian Obsidian Order during the Federation-Cardassian War. As part of their duties, they drew up threat assessments and devised both proper defences and viable counter-strategies in case of future biological attacks. It was the only indication Nathan would ever have that somewhere, up in the chain of command, someone had taken note of their suspicions about the Obsidian Pox.
In early 2371, a new scientist briefly joined the Lor’Velan Cold Laboratories. Lieutenant Doctor Kalysta Nizarra, M.D. was, as one of the leading epidemiologists of the Starfleet Board of Science, originally assigned to Bajor as a Federation liaison following the brutal early post-Occupation years. As liaison she was responsible for analysing distribution patterns and determinants of health and disease conditions, and both advising and assisting the Bajoran Provisional Government on matters related to public health. When a viral outbreak occurred in the Rakantha Province, a province that had once been one of the most productive agricultural lands on the planet but was since reduced to a poisoned, barren wasteland following the Cardassian Occupation, Doctor Nizarra’s statistical analysis of the situation allowed her to unintentionally connect the Rakanthan outbreak to the 2365 outbreak on Rurius IIa. It resulted in her reassignment to Lor’Vela, where she was tasked to work with Nathan and the other members of the team to find a way to contain the outbreak in the Rakantha Province.
To say that Nathan and Kalysta got off on the wrong foot right from the very start could be considered somewhat of an understatement however. Nathan, who was exasperated that someone else had made such a discovery, would initially double-check everything Kalysta would bring to the team; citing that something just had to be wrong due to the simple fact that he hadn’t made the discovery himself nor had he been consulted or involved in any way. As the months passed and their research into the Rakanthan outbreak progressed however, Kalysta established herself as an exceptionally bright epidemiologist and Nathan was eventually left with little choice but to begrudgingly consider Kalysta to be brilliant and possibly even smarter (or at least wiser) than he was.
When Kalysta returned to Bajor in mid-2372 following the completion of their research, Nathan’s attitude towards her had improved to the point where the two microbiologists became friends. In fact, by then Nathan even admitted that they had been a good team and the two would occasionally stay in touch.
2373 - 2374: Starfleet Reserve Officer Training School
A couple of months after Kalysta returned to Bajor, a sudden Klingon attack on Deep Space Nine sparked the beginning of open war between the Klingon Empire and the United Federation of Planets. While brief, it was a costly war that drained the strength on both sides and Starfleet, depleted to the point that defeating the Dominion was assessed to be impossible if they were to incite hostilities, launched a massive recruitment campaign to restore its ranks. When Nathan was offered the opportunity to become Starfleet Liaison to the Federation Centre for Disease Control and Prevention in mid-2373, mere weeks after the restoration of the Klingon-Federation Alliance, he was tempted by the idea of even more important assignments and the prestige that came with it. He ultimately agreed and enrolled in the Starfleet Reserve Officer Training School, located at the Starfleet Academy campus in San Francisco, in 2373; just mere weeks before the outbreak of hostilities that would spiral down into the Dominion War.
While enrolled at Starfleet Academy, Nathan shared quarters with a Cadet 4th year named Alistair Leavitt. Despite sharing a room for a year, Nathan’s abrasive personality stood in the way of any kind of meaningful bonding that might have otherwise occurred between the two aspiring Starfleet Officers. In the end they merely (or maybe even just barely) tolerated each other’s presence. It would go without saying that, following graduation in 2374, the two newly-promoted Ensigns and former roommates wouldn’t stay in touch; even though Nathan would, whenever he reminisced his short stay at Starfleet Academy, remain puzzled why Leavitt never got along with him.
2374 - 2376: Dominion War
After his graduation from Starfleet Academy's Reserve Officer Training School in 2374, the newly promoted Ensign Nathan Frost remained in San Francisco. Due to his extensive experience with biological weapon reseach, he was assigned to Starfleet Headquarters as part of an advisory team assembled by the Starfleet Board of Science. At this point in the Dominion War the Federation Alliance was perilously close to defeat and, with a rising number of incidents regarding the use of biological weapons by the Dominion, this newly created team was tasked with fighting this particular part of the war through scientific analyses, simulations and the writing of various doctrines and new policies. It was in this capacity that Nathan, representing the Federation Centre for Disease Control and Prevention and the resources at their disposal, was once again reunited with the since-promoted Lieutenant Commander Doctor Kalysta Nizarra.
Even though Nathan wasn't directly involved in the brutal fighting that took place on front lines throughout the Alpha Quadrant in the year that followed, the chaos of the Dominion War masked a brutal campaign against the use of biological weapons fought by Nathan and the advisory team. One of the most occurring biological weapons at that time were weaponized variants of the most deadly strains of viral hemorrhagic fevers, including a much more lethal variant of the Obsidian Pox. While he was often deemed arrogant, petty and bad with people at the best of days by the other members of the advisory team, Nathan nevertheless managed to shine during these chaotic times; establishing himself as a brilliant microbiologist and as one of the leading experts in immunological research. It was Nathan who theorized a connection between the earlier Rurius IIa outbreak and the resurging weaponized variant of the Obsidian Pox. In doing so, he gave Starfleet Intelligence the lead it needed to track down the architect behind the Dominion biological weapons program. This architect would later be identified as Legate Junal, a leading scientist in the Cardassian military whose research in biological weaponry would have been admirable if it hadn’t been used for such brutal purposes.
In late 2375, when the Breen Confederacy unexpectedly raided Earth and directly attacked Starfleet Headquarters and the greater city of San Francisco as a whole, Nathan would, despite his shortcomings, perform an extraordinary act of bravery. While he and the rest of the advisory team were on their way to their designated evacuation point, a torpedo fired by one of the Breen interceptors directly hit the Cochrane Building which housed the Starfleet Board of Science. The torpedo failed to explode on impact but dealt enough kinetic damage to one of the turbolift shafts to severely warp the shaft and wreck the turbolift which Nathan, Kalysta and several other Starfleet personnel were using at that moment. It injured the occupants to various degrees and left them stuck in the turbolift while the Cochrane Building burned around them. Despite being hurt, Nathan helped to evacuate those who were still able to be moved. When he realized that, by leaving the Cochrane Building himself, he would condemn those who were too injured to be moved to a certain death if that torpedo would end up exploding after all, Nathan made a brave attempt at disarming the device along with Lieutenant Commander Nizarra. The torpedo ultimately ran out of power just as the two microbiologists managed to reach it however, but that wouldn't stop Nathan from claiming that the torpedo could have detonated and that it was a good thing that he'd been there at the time.
Following the attack on Starfleet Headquarters, which saw the advisory board transferred to Spacedock One in orbit of Earth, Nathan was promoted to Lieutenant Junior Grade for both his contributions as part of the advisory team and for his actions in saving lives during the attack. Over these weeks, Nathan’s relationship with Kalysta significantly improved as well and, drawn together by the events during the attack, they began dating.
When the Dominion War finally came to an end with the unconditional surrender of the Dominion, the field team was disbanded and the Starfleet Board of Science reassigned Kalysta to the ruins of Cardassia Prime. Instead of returning to the Cold Laboratories of Lor’Vela, Nathan requested a transfer to Cardassia Prime as part of the field team sent by the Federation Centre for Disease Control and Prevention to monitor the public health situation on the devastated planet. His transfer request was approved and, while it was a much less prestigious posting than the Cold Laboratories, it allowed him to be closer to the woman whom everyone in the former advisory team agreed made Nathan a much more tolerable person.
2376 - 2378: Family Life
The first years following the Dominion War were relatively uneventful. After being assigned to Cardassia Prime, Nathan moved in with Kalysta and the two microbiologists worked on assisting and advising the post-war Cardassian Government on matters relating public health; a demanding job given the ruined state of the planet following the Cardassian Rebellion. In early 2376, Doctors Nathan Frost and Kalysta Nizarra got married in Mak’ala, the capital city of the planet Trill, in a relatively small ceremony including family, friends and close colleagues. Seven months later, Kalysta gave birth to a healthy, lovely little half-Human/half-Trill baby girl named Milall. Milall Frost was a bubbly baby, a curious girl who observed her surroundings with big blue eyes and whose giggling could make even post-war Cardassia Prime feel like the most amazing place in the Alpha Quadrant.
2378 - 2379: Junal Trial
In mid-2378, Nathan was called upon as an expert witness for the war crimes trial of Legate Junal. As a leading expert in immunological research, Nathan had worked to counter the effects of Legate Junal’s work on various occasions over the years; going as far back as the Rurius IIa outbreak thirteen years earlier and, more recently, the Cardassian biological warfare program of the Dominion War.
While en-route to Bajor, a neutral ground where the Cardassian scientist was to answer for war crimes committed during the later stages of the Federation-Cardassian War, the Klingon-Cardassian War and the Dominion War, Nathan learned that Starfleet Intelligence had tracked down Legate Junal to a remote outpost on Kerensa III shortly after the end of the Dominion War. During the arrest, the operatives had stumbled onto an industrial laboratory equivalent to a Federation Biosafety Level-4 facility. Following this discovery, the Starfleet Board of Science dispatched a team in close cooperation with the Federation Centre for Disease Control in order to catalogue the contents of the laboratory and investigate what Legate Junal had been working on. Amongst their findings, a scientific treasure trove of research into biological warfare, was the proverbial smoking gun; research into the weaponized Obsidian Pox along with several mutated strains of the dangerous viral hemorrhagic fever.
During the trial, Nathan finally came face-to-face with the person whom he’d been indirectly fighting for the better part of his career. It was an experience that would leave a lasting impression on the Canadian; there, standing trial for some of the most horrific war crimes, was a charismatic and highly talented individual who had willingly abandoned his near-limitless potential along with his ethics. While Legate Junal would argue that he had fought for the survival of his species and that anyone would have done the same, especially with their backs against the wall like the Cardassians had been during the last three wars, and even went as far as directly addressing Nathan as an equal, Nathan dismissed the Legate for what he truly was. A person without ethics, a wild beast which had been loosened upon the Quadrant and who had to be locked up for the greater good.
A decision was reached in 2379, after a little of a year of legal proceedings which saw Nathan traveling to- and from Bajor several times. It was ruled that Lorak Junal, Legate in the Medical Service of the Cardassian Central Command and Deputy Chairman of the Managing Board of the Cardassian Biomedical Research Council, was guilty of two out of the three charges he faced; those being war crimes, wilfully enabling the Dominion to engage in a campaign of biological warfare and mass murder of civilians through the research and development performed under his personal supervision, and crimes against the Quadrants by personally engaging in said research and development as well. Only the charge of conspiracy to commit war crimes and crimes against the Quadrants was dropped. Nathan was present in the courtroom when Lorak Junal was sentenced to life imprisonment in a Cardassian penal colony on the planet Ingar, an L-class world in the Cardassia System.
2379 - 2381: Collapse
In late 2379, several months after the conclusion of the Junal Trials, Nathan was promoted to the rank of Lieutenant for his work as part of the advisory team to the Cardassian Government. With the promotion came a new job opportunity too, as Nathan was offered to become Starfleet liaison to the Bajoran branch of the Federation Centre for Disease Control and Prevention; it was relatively close to Cardassia Prime and, given the connections he had established over the years, Nathan was the perfect fit for the position because he would still be able to assist the Cardassian Government, but the resources at his disposal at Starfleet liaison were bigger than they were as part of the advisory team.
After consulting with Kalysta, they planned for her to request a transfer to Bajor as well so the small family could stay together and Nathan accepted the position. Given that Kalysta had served on the advisory board to the Bajoran Government in 2371, just eight years prior, she already had the connections to secure a new assignment as well and the process of requesting a transfer was little more than a formality. While it wouldn’t be until early 2380 until she could transfer to Bajor, it allowed Nathan to go on ahead and prepare their new house in the Bajoran capital.
However, just mere weeks into 2380, a flu epidemic broke out on Cardassia Prime. While those were common, especially given that the entire planet was still rebuilding from the destruction by the hands of the Dominion just five years prior, Milall Frost had fallen ill as well. Nathan, at that point desensitized after working with the most terrible diseases over the course of fifteen years, initially underestimated something as common as a simple flu and didn’t give it a whole lot of thought; comforting Milall from a distance and expecting it to pass within days. It wouldn’t though and, by the time Kalysta managed to convince Nathan that it was far worse than a simple flu and that he should return to Cardassia Prime, it was already too late. Three days after Nathan returned to Cardassia Prime, his daughter Milall would pass away from medical complications caused by the flu.
The loss of Milall devastated Nathan. In an attempt to cope with his grief, he repeatedly made attempts to rationalize it but only reached the conclusion that he could’ve prevented it if he had returned to Cardassia Prime sooner. He convinced himself that Cardassia Prime, a world still rebuilding, was overwhelmed with the influx of patients who suffered from the flu just like Milall had and that the doctors, overwhelmed as they were, quite likely overlooked something; something he wouldn’t have overlooked if he had been there.
In the weeks that followed the burial of Milall on Trill, Nathan spent increasing amounts of time holed up in the laboratory on Bajor to discover what had gone wrong and what he could have done differently if he’d been sooner. As the weeks turned to months and his research remained inconclusive, with all signs pointing to a regular flu that caused complications, Nathan began to distance himself from an equally grieving and bereaved Kalysta; in part because Nathan, deep down inside, reflected his own guilt for not being there onto his wife whom, as an experienced epidemiologist, should have identified the symptoms and called upon him sooner. He never openly voiced his thoughts, but with Nathan harbouring those dark grievances and finding increasing solace in a bottle of bourbon as opposed to his own wife, the wedge that would ultimately split them apart was formed.
Kalysta would hold on until mid-2381, when she couldn’t take it anymore and returned to Trill to be with her family, whom consoled her a lot more than Nathan had done thus far. At that point Nathan was so obsessed with finding out what had happened to Milall that he initially hardly noticed that Kalysta was gone and, when he finally did, he actually welcomed the solitude. It had been Kalysta who always told him to stop obsessing after all; Kalysta was the one who had contacted his direct superiors at the Starfleet Board of Science and the Federation Centre for Disease Control and Prevention to voice her concerns over his obsessive behaviour and increasing drinking issues, and it had also been Kalysta, at least in his mind, who prompted his superiors to eventually send him on bereavement leave to give him an opportunity to sort out his problems.
During his bereavement leave, or rather when he was physically barred from entering the laboratory after his supervisors discovered that Nathan still showed up to work every day, Nathan now found himself with the time on his hands to think. And he did. Unable to find the answers he was looking for by himself, he finally reached out to Kalysta in an attempt to piece everything together. That went about as well as could be expected too; Nathan and Kalysta ended up in a huge fight in which they both accused one of abandoning the other when they needed them the most and, in the end, Nathan said some pretty unforgivable things. It prompted Kalysta to ignore all further communications and, after an attempt to visit her on Trill in order to talk things through also ended in disaster, she filed a motion to ban Nathan from contacting her.
Given the problems Nathan was dealing with, which had also found their way to his direct superiors through the proper administrative channels, they found it wise to re-evaluate his security clearance and not allow him in a Biosafety Level-4 facility until further notice. Thus, when Nathan returned from bereavement leave and was cleared for duty once more, albeit with the necessary mandatory counselling, he found himself reassigned to a large project in the Rakantha Province. Here, a joint effort between the Bajoran Agricultural Ministry and the Starfleet Board of Science strived to improve the quality of the soil and restore the province to becoming one of the most productive agricultural lands on the planet once more.
In late 2380 however, when Kalysta returned to Bajor once more, she found that Nathan had changed considerably. While the counseling had definitely helped his obsessive behaviour, Nathan had turned into a brooding man who found consolation in a bottle of bourbon and still struggled with himself and his unanswered questions. For Kalysta, finding Nathan in such a wrecked state was all the confirmation she needed. After one last attempt to mend things, which ended up in a huge fight as well, Kalysta's attempt to find solace turned into an attempt to find closure and she filed for divorce. Just weeks before the end of 2380, a marriage of four years came to an end when Nathan Frost and Kalysta Nizarra officially divorced.
2381- Present: USS Theurgy
In early 2381, while Nathan was still assigned to the joint project in the Rakantha Province, he was contacted by Rear Admiral Joseph Nerva Anderson. Whether the Rear Admiral was unaware of Nathan’s personal problems or still remembered him as the brilliant microbiologist he had been before the passing of his daughter and his subsequent problems, the Director of Covert Operations still held Nathan in high regard; high enough to send a highly encrypted subspace transmission to explain the war against the infected that was fought by the crew of the USS Theurgy and the role which he expected, or hoped, Nathan to play in that war.
Even though Nathan was initially sceptical, he nevertheless requested additional time off; citing that he needed to deal with his personal problems. His direct superiors at the Starfleet Board of Science and the Federation Centre for Disease Control and Prevention were more than happy to oblige, hoping that Nathan would indeed sort out his problems and pull himself back together. With little else to lose, Nathan subsequently made his way to Deep Space Nine, where he was picked up by the Klingon ship IKS Vask’at and taken to the USS Theurgy.
Personality Profile
Dr. Nathan Frost ranked among some of the most arrogant and condescending people known to the Federation Centre for Disease Control, as well as members of the Starfleet Board of Science and various other individuals and organisations which he came into contact with; be it either directly or indirectly. While he proved to be an exceptionally capable microbiologist over the years, he had a habit of setting a very high standard and pushed himself very hard. As a result, his attitude towards his colleagues could often be one of sheer exasperation or distrust, even though he was occasionally forced to admit that they were helpful. His distrust regarding the aptitude of his colleagues sometimes manifested itself in the form of hypochondriasis; Frost would, at various times, claim to suffer from lumbago, Raynaud's disease and Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, amongst other things.
Those who got to know Nathan a little better however, whether by choice or through the circumstances pressed upon them, got to see through the façade he put up and discovered that there was a much darker side to Nathan that drove him and forced him to set those impossibly high standards; a side tinged with guilt and grief. It was this side of him that carried the burden of his daughter's passing, something for which he held himself personally responsible, and it drove him to spend much of his off-duty hours either in the bar or in the relativer solitude of the Observation Lounge in the company of his research and a good glass of Old Rip Van Winkle.
Physical Profile
Although stoic and often found brooding, Nathan Frost could have been described as handsome; standing at an average height of 5'7" with a slender, somewhat athletic build due to his fondness for excessively long hikes. One of his defining facial features were his high cheekbones in combination with a well-defined jawline. He tended to shave the sides of his head, which gave him a distinct appearance that would often make him stand out in a room full of his scientific peers.
While on-duty, Frost was usually found wearing a white lab coat over his standard duty uniform. This lab coat, a memento from the Federation Centre for Disease Control and Prevention which he took along with him after being recruited by Admiral Anderson, features shoulder patches with the logo of the FCDC and the text "Dr. Nathan Frost, Immunology" stitched on the right breast in black embroidery.
When Frost was off-duty, his style of clothing could have been interpreted as business casual, all in dark colours. He was rarely seen wearing jeans, instead preferring more formal trousers or chinos beneath button-downs or polo shirts.
