Matthew Royce is the Commanding Officer of Starfleet's Second Fleet, and the captain of the USS Lexington. Unarguably one of the greatest battle commanders of the Borg War, he was one of the youngest Captains in Starfleet history, won the Medal of Honour in the 2394 Battle of Tridentis, and has championed Starfleet's re-expansionism efforts even through the Second Fleet's repeated leadership problems. Still the Fleet's most stable long-term officer, his responsibilities see him these days overseeing the task force's daily operations from behind the lines rather than spearheading the expeditionary forces.
Personal Details
Name: Matthew Royce
Age: 51
Species: Human
Physical Appearance: Once a tall, broad, powerful man, age has certainly taken its toll on Royce. War-time saw him taking pride in his form - peace and a love of life's enjoyments have now led to soft living. He has a rapidly expanding gut that's seen three new cuts of uniform in the last six years, a strong jawline is now a double chin hidden by a thick, bristly beard, and his once bright, piercing blue eyes now seem a little deep-set and piggy. It is rare that people can reconcile his appearance as an aging, past-it commander who seems to love food and drink more than his duty with his reputation as a war hero - and yet, somehow, he can still summon a demanding presence if the situation calls for it, is still able to command the attention of those around him. Such appearances have become increasingly rare, however, and though there remains within him the spark of the man he used to be, it is an echo which seems to be fading.
