Born on Vekta to family with distinguished record of public service. Educated at prestigious Oas City University, graduating with degree in Colonial Law. Practiced law on Earth for several years, drawing attention with involvement in high profile colonial disputes including Delta Pavonis and Omicron Eridani. This led to recruitment into the Vektan diplomatic service, 2344.
Early assignment negotiating settlement to the Arcturus insurrection brought him into contact with Captain (later Admiral) Alex Grey. Pair apparently developed mutual respect which matured into friendship.

However, the relationship remains of interest to Intelligence (see report #KL63U).
