B. Background Summary
---------------------
Sean is an emminently capable science officer and commander. He
possesses an almost single-minded dedication to his work. His fellows
describe him as stern, but approachable; quick tempered, but loyal.
For all his effectiveness as an officer, Sean is haunted by the death of
his ex-wife, Jeri Wilson.
Sean met Jeri at Starbase 10 in Jiu Jitsu class (she taught him
everything he knows about the martial arts). They married after just
six months of wrestling on the mat. Their careers exacerbated an
already rocky relationship. As an aerospace architect, Jeri frequently
worked at remote construction sites. Sean, of course, was often deployed.
They quickly grew apart and finally divorced after several bittersweet
years.
Jeri headed back for Earth to make a fresh start with a new building
project. On her return voyage, she accepted a friend's invitation to
visit a retreat on Vulcan. She felt that, after her tumultuous divorce,
she would benefit from that world's calm serenity.
The week of her arrival, the renegade Nero destroyed Vulcan. Jeri was 35
when she died and Sean has never forgiven himself for driving her away to
her death.
Afterward, Sean turned his self-loathing and disappointment with God
into an obsessive devotion to his career. On his better days, he uses
his time off to scan and contribute to the Starfleet Exosciences White
Pages. On his worse days, he drowns his sorrows in virtual reality
pornography and alcohol.
Sean has always had an eye for women and they generally see him as
attractive. But even 2 years after losing Jeri, he has not had much
interest in dating. Furthermore, his sense of humor carries a new,
decidedly cynical edge.
Sean's ground combat experience extends to skirmishes on Arrancar VI
and Monil IV. He saw space combat against Klingons as a Helmsman aboard
the FARSTAR.
