| Personal History | Birthplace: Deep Space 4, located just outside the Alpha Orionis System. Like all of his species now, Math'ew was not born on a planet, but in space, on a station. He was born on Deep Space 4, located just outside the Alpha Orionis System. His parents both had small businesses on the station. He is the oldest of three children. At the age of six, a Betelgeusian decides which of the Heroes (there are seven major ones, but numerous minor heroes) he will strive to emulate. Math'ew chose Altaa the Warrior. He lives his life in the way that his chosen hero would do so. His entire childhood was spent on the station. While there, he learned about numerous cultures and races. He learned how each species chose to hunt and began learning the many different weapons that each race tended to prefer to use, both in a hunt and in combat. His two favorites were the bat'leth from Qo'nos and katana from Earth. When he reached adulthood, he decided to branch out and join Starfleet. During his Academy years, it quickly became obvious that his talents leaned towards tactical and security positions. While his work in these positions was stellar, his hot headedness and recklessness did tend to get him into trouble with his instructors. Upon graduation, his first assignment was aboard the USS George Washington as a weapons officer in the torpedo magazine. He spent the next three years learning the finer points of torpedo maintenance and use for all of the different types of torpedoes in Starfleet's arsenal. His next duty assignment was to the USS Rutledge. When he joined the crew, he moved to security and became a security officer. He began studying the legal aspect of the job and in two years, received a bachelors degree in law enforcement. Upon receiving his degree, he was promoted from ensign to lieutenant (junior grade), and moved into the open slot of Assistant Sec/Tac Chief. He would remain in this position for the remainder of his time aboard the Rutledge. He put his time to good use, earning a masters degree in law enforcement and a bachelors degree in legal ethics. His next assignment was to the USS Einstein. He filled the now vacant slot of Chief Sec/Tac, after the former chief was transferred to another duty station. With the transfer, and in recognition of his continuing education, he was promoted to lieutenant. Following the Einstein's sudden decommissioning, Matt'ew was transferred to the USS Achilles. As the Achilles already had a Chief Tac/Sec Officer, Matt'ew was reclassified by Starfleet Personnel to fill the vacant Chief Intelligence Officer slot. |
