First Officer - While Starfleet was trying to capture him in the Badlands, he and his Maquis crew were pulled into the Delta Quadrant by the Caretaker's array and forced to merge with the crew of the Voyager during its seventy-year journey home. Before serving as Voyager's first officer, he had resigned Starfleet after years of service in order to join the Maquis to defend his home colony against the Cardassians.
