Biographical Highlights

Horace was born in the suburbs of Greensboro, North Carolina in the summer of 2394. Despite his terrestrial birth, Horace’s family has deep roots in Starfleet. A fourth-generation but first commissioned officer–Horace was academically average, though scored particularly well in the use of short and long arms.

During a First Contact with the Kit Combine, Horace was severally injured when a Kit, under the command of B’da K’mnzi, rended his abdomen with a nah’hala, a pole arm that is anything but ceremonial. Horace spent several months recovering while new organs were generated and grafted into place.
