    Background History

    She was born and brought up in Wales, on EARTH, the middle sister of three. She had a normal school life on Earth. She has a degree in Archaeology from a civilian university. Leaving University she worked with both her parents in mapping Ancient Celtic sites and building replicas. She entered Starfleet Academy after 29 years, because she wanted to explore the stars.

    Her childhood summers where spent with her paternal Grandparent's home on VULCAN. It was here, during the summer of her 10th year, that she met T'Stian Ragon for the first time.

    Her eldest sister's husband was killed in a tragic accident, and Mad'hron took a year out, to go back to the family to support her sister. Unfortunately Fad'ryn could not manage to contain her emotions and rejected her two children. Mad'hron adopted them to keep the family together. Her parents looked after the children, so that she could complete her ACT course.

    Mad'hron is more human in attitude than Vulcan, but her mother's influence has instilled pride in Mad'hron of her Vulcan heritage. Tre'r did insist that her children learnt all of the Vulcan telepathic techniques, and taught them to use them sparingly. When Ensign Katlina Potter and Kang came to the USS AVALON, Kat and Maddie became the best of friends and found the sister that the other missed. Kat found out that she was pregnant on the same day that she discovered she had pre-eclempsia. The only option open to Kat and Kang, was to have the child transferred to another woman. Maddie offered and Kat and Kang gladly accepted. During the transfer they found out that they were expecting a little girl, who they named El'hron, after Kat's mother and Mad'hron.

    Kang and Kat asked Mad'hron if she would be willing to be adopted into the House of Zenod, and Maddie was pleased and touched by their offer. They performed the R'uustai Ritual, and Maddie was formaly accepted into Kang's ancestral House.

    Maddie was transferred from the USS AVALON to the USS PROPHECY half way through her pregnancy. Mad'hron finally gave birth naturally to El'hron towards the end of a mission in the Asazi dimension.

    Maddie also performed an Ancient ritual which bonded her to Peter and Jaxper Lawrence-Aspinall. The three friends spent an afternoon on the Holodeck killing things and found that they all had a lot in common.

    For the first time in a very long time Maddie finally felt like she had found a home for herself and her two children.

    Maddie was given a pair of Water Dragons, which were a birthday present from Kat Potter. She has named them Ramoth and Mnementh after two Dragons from novels by one of her favourite authors.

    Mad'hron joined the PROPHECY as Counselor and was promoted after a few months to Chief Operations Officer and second officer of the ship. She found her new duties as the Operation Officer a welcome challenge and really enjoyed working with and learnt a lot from Anaqueen Spankryz the CO and Xana Bonviva the ExO. She also formed firm friendships with the two Command Officers.

    Maddie trained to become a Vulcan pyllora during this time. On one of the PROPHECY'S missions to an area of dead space, Jeff Gorman had to release psilosynine into the PROPHECY's air system, the Vulcan hybrid has found that the mild telepathic bond she had with Landwyn Orla seemed to be getting stronger.

    Mad'hron met and fell in love with Jesse Turner who was DCL on the USS PROPHECY. It took the couple a long time to get together (mainly due to Jesse's shyness) but eventually they did manage to become an item.

    Things went really well until the mission into IWERDIAN space. Maddie was promoted and transferred to the GATEWAY STATION as Executive Officer. Meanwhile back on the planet Jesse Turner was killed by a dinosaur type creature. Mad'hron was devastated when she found out.

    T'Stian was already living and working out of the STATION when Maddie turned up. The two spent a lot of time together as T'Stian was her Pyllora as well as her best friend.

    The two went on a few dates and Mad'hron started to realise that her feelings for this man who had shared most of her life had deepened. After another few months she admitted that she'd fallen in love with him and asked him to move in with her and the children.

    During the Calnarian Conflict, Jesse came in spirit form and spoke with Maddie. With his help, she managed to keep going through the dark days of the war, especially when T'Stian was seriously injured.

    Mad'hron still carries a deep burden of guilt that she survived the devastating attack when so many of her friends and crew mates were killed.

    However, a few months later there was a strange accident on the GATEWAY and Jesse Turner's spirit was reborn into the body of a dying El-Aurian. He remembered everything including the fact that Maddie had made a new life for herself.

    But the sudden reappearance of her lover threw Mad'hron into emotional confusion. T'Stian had to go away on some business and told Maddie to take this time to do some serious thinking. Which she did.

    On T'Stian's return to the GATEWAY, the two hybrids had a long and heartfelt conversation. They agreed that they would try again, and T'Stian moved back into their quarters.

    Maddie was temporarily assigned to the USS PROPHECY as aCO, during Captain Spankryz's LOA. Being back on a Starship took her some getting used to. But she has had the support of most of the crew, a lot of whom she was worked with before. Mad'hron is relishing the challenge that being CO of the only trans-dimensional ship brings.

    Maddie's temporary assignment to the PROPHECY was made permenent when Captain Spankryz was assigned as head of a small taskforce to the Delta Quadrant. The Vulcan hybrid is looking forward to the start of a new chapter in her life.

    Mad'hron's life has gone through a lot of changes in the past 12 months since becoming Captain of the USS PROPHECY, including the merger of her two best friends into one man, T'halian, who she is now engaged to. The family have also fostered Rosie for the past few months and are moving towards adopting the little purple girl.

    Mad'hron now has a new ExO, Daisy Davidson, and after a shaky start the two women have become firm friends, though Maddie finds Daisy's reluctance to confide in her wearing at times, but she also believes that they work well together. Their strengths and weakness in their command styles complimenting each other so as to be a strong command team.
