Academy Information
Elliott had entered the Academy knowing that he wanted to be a diplomat. There
were not a lot of Diplomatic cadets in his year and he found himself in a
position of being a bit of an outsider. Elliott discovered that he had a
penchant for language and culture. He minored in Ancient Earth History. Although
he did not have many close friends Elliott found that he was able to mix
with many different types of people. He got the name of "Morpho" from
those who knew him best. He always seemed to know how to find a way to deescalate
difficult situations.
Elliott did well at the Academy but he was more of an original thinker and often
found himself on the other side of many of the lecturers. In time he won
the respect of his professors because he could defend his position with
honesty and integrity. His attention to details and semi-photographic memory
helped him a great deal in his studies.
Background
Information
Elliott is the oldest child in a family of 6. His mother was a school teacher
and his father a lawyer on Earth. His father died when Elliot was 13 and
he took over the leadership of the family. When he was 19 he entered the Academy
and left the family's matter in the hands of his next oldest sister. She
has contacted him every week since to let him know how the family is. He is
devoted to his family and they are a major focal point of his life. His youngest
brother Eric has just entered the Academy's Engineering Department
specializing in structural engineering.
He is quiet and thoughtful but is also charming and possesses a keen skill at
observing the cultural and linguistic characteristics of those he meets. He
enjoys archery and fencing and often uses the Holodeck for practicing.
Elliott is a very spiritual individual and finds the religious beliefs of
cultures fascinating. He tries to live his life by what some has called an
unbelievably high standard of ethics.

a kitten. Plato is Elliott's only remaining link to his partner. His
partner of 10 years was killed in the failed negotiations near the Cardassian border
three years ago. Elliott is still grieving his loss but has decided that
it is time to move on and has thrown himself back into his work full force.
