Physical Description		Trei (pronounced Tray) is a tall Betazoid male with olive skin, black curly hair, and the typical Betazoid black eyes. His teeth are very white as he makes sure to take care of them. His face usually has some stubble by the end of the day, due to an overabundance of testosterone that he tries to keep under control. Unlike his brother and cousins, he has NO problems with infertility, where his male relatives are almost sterile. His hair is kept just long enough that the curl shows, but not so long as to cause a problem with his helmet. He is strong, and defined, but not bulky or overly muscled like his brother and cousins. Where his relatives tend to look muscular, he looks more athletic than anything else. He has very large feet for his height, and they can get stinky. On duty his hair is neat and combed, his face perfectly smooth at the start of the day, his uniform pressed and perfect. Off duty he shares the same taste in clothes as his cousins: tee shirts, jeans, boots, leather jackets, and only occasionally dressing up. Trei's voice is deeper than some, with a 'husky' quality to it, slightly rough, but not gravelly.

Personal History

Trei was born into the Fourth House of Betazed and like most Betazoids, he is a survivor of the Battle of Betazed. He was only 8 at the time, and he was scared out of his wits. Being so young, he didn't understand much that was happening, only that bad people were coming. When the war ended, he had night terrors about Jem'Hadar on Betazed, and he was put into therapy. He eventually got through it and he began to spend more time with his family, his parents, Lenara and Lem, his brother, Ranel, sister, Naila and his cousins, Daln and Vien Jansum of the Eighth House. When they got older, they realized that all of them wanted to join Starfleet. Daln and Trei were good at fighting, and Trei was also good at piloting. Naila and Ranel were good with medicine and people, and Vien was a tinkerer. They always competed against each other, but they never went too far. None of them were by any means top of the class, but Lanaila graduated in better standings in her class than Trei did in his, and he got teased. He is always looking for a reason to tease her in turn. Trei’s first assignment was the USS Eisenhower, a ship in the Eleventh 'Pegasus' Fleet. He began learning dogfighting from one of the best pilots in the task group, Lt Gamora. The woman showed his how to get another fighter off his tail using the breaks or using the warp bubble, how to play chicken, and dozens of other maneuvers. She also showed him something else: the mystery of women. Eventually she got orders and she said she had something to tell him before she left. He was called away by the new CAG, a real stickler for rules, and she never got the chance. Sometimes he still wonders what she was going to tell him. He was eventually promoted to LtJG, and was starting to make his way towards Flight Leader. Then, he did a stupid. He disobeyed direct orders from the Flight Leader during an engagement and two pilots were badly hurt. He never went against that man's orders again. The two pilots recovered, but he had become an outcast. The other pilots did not trust him, and that was a problem. He was reassigned to the USS Orion in the Seventh 'Theta' Fleet, Starfleet hoping that a completely new fleet, taskgroup, ship would be better for him. His reputation would be determined by his actions on that ship. He did well, finally starting to become the pilot Gamora thought him to be. Trei meant to fix his reputation, to fix his relationship with command, and he was well on his way. He was to go-to guy for piloting shuttles because he could get through anything. He is now being transferred to the USS Pathfinder as a Lieutenant.
