Personality & Traits
| General Overview | Extremely aggressive, but tempered with a sense of humor. He is a creature of extremes, being wonderfully kind and thoughtful to those he cares for, in a manner which might make doting seem cruel, and a cheating, dirty fighting, world ending monster to his enemies. There is little middle ground with this man. | |
| Strengths & Weaknesses | His tactical style is extremely unique, difficult to analyze or predict, making him a nightmare on the bridge of a ship. He is also an incredible engineer, who had a very large hand in the development of the Suttner class of starship, to which the PANDORA belongs, meaning he knows his vessel in a manner most intimate. Also, he has a background in acting and theater, meaning he is one hell of a liar. His unpredictability is a weakness as well however. Anyone else's crew would have a very hard time working under him, turning a well oiled machine into a hazardous mess. Also, his enemy's lack of insight into him might turn a capture scenario into a kill mission in no time flat. |
|
| Ambitions | To not get thrown out of Starfleet. | |
| Hobbies & Interests | Music, model and material fabrication, 20th century Earth history. |
| Personal History | Upon making Captain of the Pandora, Tim was immediately placed with a search and rescue task force in the Alpha quadrant. It wasn't long before he'd made a name for himself among a large confederacy of pirates with the backing of the Orion syndicate. Earning himself the moniker of "The Black Lion" Tim guided the Pandora in disabling or destroying over three dozen pirate vessels, while sustaining minimal losses. Over the years, his aggression and temper have not eased, and if those around him are to be believed, he's gotten worse. While not the kind of man to destroy a crippled ship, he is far less likely to brook nonsense, and shows precious little patience with his enemies. He maintains his sense of humor, but it is a bit more bleak. His children are no longer located on his ship. His daughter is a freshman in college, and his sons live with their Earth grandparents. As Syndicate legacies, their safety is unquestionable among Tim's most frequent enemies. He does make time for his kids, with his stationing in the Alpha meaning they are never more than a couple of hours away. It's plainly obvious the losses of Kalilah and Gene will affect him to the end of his days, especially to those who listen to him play guitar. |
