Sevlar

From FEInfobase

Sevlar is the Executive Officer of the USS Chimera.

Background

At eighty years old, Sevlar has lived through much of what is taught in the history books of today's Federation, and knows just how much of those books is inaccurate. His own personnel file is incomplete, with holes existing from his childhood (the name of his mother is not a matter of public record) all the way through his early forties. When he emerges in the public record, it is as an established officer in the Romulan military with some very notable enemies, most importantly Senator Seslak.

While Sevlar was noted in the Romulan military for his competence, his enmity with Seslak, a powerful figure in the Empire's government, cost him a great deal of opportunity for advancement. He moved up through ranks at a slow crawl in spite of impressing every officer he worked under with his strong work ethic and immense capability at every task to which he was assigned. The one time that the two of them spoke in private, Seslak swore to Sevlar that Sevlar would never hold a command. A few moments of acting command during the Dominion and Borg Wars notwithstanding, Sestak has made good on that threat.

After the Borg War, Sestak found his way to a position within the Federation bureaucracy, remaining in a position to torment Sevlar. Sevlar was grounded for years, trapped with various administrative jobs on Earth, until Captain Carson Reese managed to get him released for duty as the Executive Officer of the USS Chimera.

Talents and Personality

Sevlar is known for his competence and his strict adherence to protocol. He is a man who knows just what the proper way to do things is, and will insist on them being done that way. However, he believes in getting the job done, and even protocol cannot stand in the way of that.

Sevlar's full list of skills is known only to him - he has lived a long and very complex life, and with rumors around the replicator including the idea that he was an agent for the Tal'shiar, the fact that he will often show skills that startle those around him should not be surprising. His command style is brisk and formal, though he has been known to relax in the presence of officers who have earned his deep respect.
