Personal History		Nicholas Valentine was born in 2349, when he was young Valentine was not the most popular kid. His first assignment was a difficult one. For nearly everyone the Dominion war ended in 2375 when the Dominion surrendered and a treaty was made between the Founders and the Federation. For Valentine, however, this was not the case. Several high ranking officers of the Dominion and Breen forces did not wish to surrender and went into hiding to attempt to re-gather their strength to make another strike. Valentine was assigned to the USS Nomad, a White Sands class starship whose mission was to seek out the remaining members of Dominion commander structure and eliminate them. Because the war was 'over' the Nomad's mission was a covert one and often times came down to sneak attacks and covert assassinations rather then direct conflict. In all assassinations Valentine was the man behind the scope. Following his time on the Nomad. Valentine moved directly to the Bickerton, a ship whose mission was similar to that of the Nomad, moving behind the scenes to keep small squabbles from becoming large fights. Valentine found his early career draining and damaging to his soul, feeling that he only existed as the black shadow at the back of the room, only acting when something terrible had to be done. Beyond his dark actions came the fact that even to his family he was a ghost, keeping secrets from them and disappearing for months at a time with no word about when he would return or if he was safe. With his assignment to Starbase 12. Nick is trying to put his past behind him. He wants this to be a kind of rebirth, an opportunity for him to serve both the Federation and all life in a way that does not involve killing which has gotten its claws quite deeply into his personality.
