Denver Owen Colton was born in 2356 in Vermont, USA, Earth. He graduated Starfleet Academy at 23 and the USS Endeavour is his first assignment. He is addicted to board games, especially Nine Men's Morris and can usually be found while off duty playing NMM in the Ten Forward Lounge and drinking his usual Bolanett ale with a stalk of cari plant or in a holodeck.

He has one sister, a twin, Elizabeth Erin Colton and is very close to her. Elizabeth is also a Starfleet graduate. She is single and is currently an Ensign serving aboard the Deep Space Nine as Communications Specialist. Denver and Elizabeth enjoy visiting each other as often as possible. Elizabeth despises NMM.

Their parents, Commander Butler Frank Colton and Cinthia Aimes Colton both served aboard the USS Timothy and were killed during a skirmish with the Romulans near the Neutral Zone border.

Denver has never been seriously involved in a relationship, however he does date quite regularly. Denver is 1.75 meters tall with brown hair and green eyes.
