Biography:

Grigor Daan Ellsworth-Sloane was the sixth of seven children born to Marius and Natasha Ellsworth-Sloane, the third born during their residence in Bremen, Germany. Marius served as pastor for the Holy Trinity Church of the Third Reformation and Natasha remained at home with the children, doing occasional work as a holonovelist.

As a child, Grigor's parents encouraged him to learn, explore, and carefully examine the information and decisions put before him in addition to instructing him in matters of faith and religion. For young Grigor, this combination of faith and reason came to an tragic test when his brother Walter died unexpectedly while interning at a hospital in Spain during the fall of 2405. This loss impressed two lessons in the boy's mind: the fragility of life, and that tragedy and loss will happen even in the best prepared enviornments.

In 2407, Marius was asked to step into the role of bishop for part of the Berlin region and the family moved to a town near the city. Having had an interest in military history since childhood and a decided interest in the many real and fictionalized accounts of the Dominion War, when a Starfleet recruiter visited the school, Grigor was one of the first to sign up for the entrance exam. His parents were reserved but accepting of his decision.

The first few days at the Academy were difficult ones for Grigor. Having lived predominantly in suburban areas for the vast majority of his life, there had been very few opportunities for direct interaction with alien species. This led to several altercations with more aggressively-minded individuals. Academically Grigor did as he had always done in school: quite well, qualifying for a spot on a Nova trainer during his junior year. Graduating in the top fifteen percent of his class with a major in military history, Grigor was commissioned as an ensign and assigned to the Magellan-class USS EISENSTEIN as a member of the Plotting and Tracking staff.

Over the next two years Grigor distinguished himself in the department, displaying a knack for exploiting subtle weaknesses and developing a reputation for exacting precision. Investigating mysterious energy readings from a previously uncharted system, the EISENSTEIN found itself caught in the middle of war between two of the worlds. Following the EISENSTEIN's withdrawal from the system, Grigor was promoted to Lieutenant Junior Grade and put in command of the Plotting and Tracking department.

Eight months later the EISENSTEIN was attached to a task force combating an increase in piracy near Orion space. Over the next three months the task force was successfully able to reduce piracy rates to below previous levels and in recognition of his contributions, Grigor was offered a transfer to the Katana-class USS RASSILON as a replacement for the ship's recently departed Assistant Tactical Officer. He accepted the position and remained with the RASSILON, putting the skills learned in the EISENSTEIN's CIC department to good use during the RASSILON's continued patrol near Orion space.

During a raid on an Orion slave processing station in early 2420, the RASSILON came under heavy fire from a fleet of Orion and Naussican vessels that had been lying in wait nearby. During the ensuing battle the RASSILON's Tactical Officer was killed. Taking over Tactical, Grigor was able to hold off the pirate fleet long enough for away teams to be recovered and the RASSILON to escape, disabling half a dozen pirate vessel in the process through the use of "unique and unorthodox weapon solutions." Upon return to spacedock, Grigor was promoted to Lieutenant and assumed the position of Tactical Officer.

In mid-2422 the RASSILON was reassigned to track down and arrest Kej Tal, an Orion pirate and mercenary who had begun to form a new cartel within Federation space. By the end of the year, the RASSILON's crew had been able to locate Kej Tal's base of operations, surviving numerous engagements with numerically superior forces. The RASSILON was attached to OPERATION UPPERCUT to lead the engagement with Kej Tal's forces. The operation was a success, but the RASSILON was destroyed. Following the completion of the operation, Grigor was promoted to Lieutenant Commander and applied for a transfer to the CIC department. The application was accepted and he was assigned to the USS BRIGADIER as Assistant CIC Officer in the beginning of 2423.

The BRIGADIER underwent a refit and command turnover in 2424. Offered a promotion to CIC Officer aboard the USS EXCALIBUR, Grigor accepted and following a brief leave on Earth, departed for the EXCALIBUR.

Personality:

He is a hard-working, religious man with a penchant for boistrousness in social settings and a dry sense of humor. Believes in making the most of every opportunity, doing what can be done when it can be done, and when needed, striking hard, fast, and decisively. Grigor strives to treat all with respect and dignity, regardless of his own personal feelings. Has a habit of getting as uncomfortably close to the safety margin as possible.

Preferences:

Likes- Intelligence, honor, modern literature, military history, good beer

Dislikes- Pirates, willful ignorance, sloppy work, people who try to kill him

Religion:

Grigor is a practicing formal member of the Church of the Third Reformation, also known as the Orange Lutheran Church in reference to their founding during the Orange Schism of 2225.
