Personal History
Vox was born on Earth to Kyle and T’Lora Templar. His father was a career-minded Star Fleet officer who served with distinction. His mother was a Romulan dissident that fled the Romulan Empire. T’Lora was aboard a hired civilian freighter that was ferrying many Romulan dissidents to a colony on Fraxis VII. The ship passed through a particularly severe ion storm in the Pavantis Sector, sustaining massive damage to critical systems, including the warp coolant containment system. The U.S.S. Ajax, on patrol in the region, received the distress call of the freighter and responded to assist. Kyle Templar, then a raw ensign aboard the Ajax, assisted in the evacuation of the damaged vessel. While moving people to a secure beam-out position, a plasma conduit ruptured in a hallway, trapping three people, including T’Lora. Kyle Templar risked his own life to help the trapped individuals escape to safety. T’Lora was struck by the bravery that Kyle exhibited. By the time the U.S.S. Ajax arrived at Fraxis VII, T’Lora decided to remain aboard. She was granted political asylum by the Federation, and over time, Kyle and T’Lora fell in love and were married.
About a year later, Kyle and T’Lora gave birth to Vox while visiting Kyle’s family on Earth. Kyle, not wanting his son to have a limited childhood aboard a starship, and worried about the dangers of the First General War, convinced T’Lora to remain on Earth to raise Vox. Growing up, Vox was always fascinated by the missions his father would tell him about traveling the stars, encountering other species and dangerous situations. Vox developed a growing desire to join Star Fleet from an early age. After the First General War, Kyle let Vox travel on various assignments when time permitted. While on excursions Kyle taught Vox how to play the old Earth trumpet. Yet, despite being raised on Earth, Vox found an appreciation for his Romulan heritage, and took pride in his mixed blood, with the wish that one day he would see Romulus for himself. At the age of 14, disaster struck when his father Kyle Templar was killed while serving aboard the U.S.S. Avenger when the Borg invaded. Since that time, he devoted himself to becoming the best man that he could be to honor his father.
Joining Star Fleet Academy was a monumental achievement for Vox. He found himself particularly drawn towards learning about criminal investigations and security systems. A coy flirt at times, he was said to speak certain Romulan phrases, "all in the name of sharing linguistic knowledge." One of the most interesting classes for him was Starship Tactics, in which he minored, with a specialty in Romulan battle strategy.
