History
Jerek was born on Earth and never knew his Betazoid mother, whom had died on a sabotaged vessel on her way back to Earth from visiting her home planet, when he was an infant. He grew up being raised by his father. He had a normal childhood until his teens when his empathic abilities emerged. Knowing he could not keep his son from the truth any longer he told Jerek of his mothers race and what had happened to her. Jerek’s inital anger about being lied to was replaced quickly by wonder about what the other side of his family was like, so he took a trip to his mothers homeworld and met her family. After a short stay though he found life on Beta-Zed much to strange for him and he went back home. Since then he had had little contact with his mothers family. During his high school days he found a love for piloting and is soon became his main goal in life. He wanted to be at the helm of a Starfleet vessel and be the best pilot to ever do so.

After Graduation he joined the academy and graduated near the top of his class in piloting and navigation. He was happy when he was assigned to the USS Starfire and quickly set off to prove he was one of the best. He was praised highly for more than a few times flying and safely recovering shuttles that when looked at by the engineers should not have been able to be recovered. Although while he was praised for his flying abilities he was also reprimanded a few times for being insubordinate when he thought he knew a better way to get somewhere. He was also held in the brig for a short time for attacking a fellow officer who made a rude statement about telepathic beings. In spite of these few incedents though he has a strong record at being an accomplished pilot and is a natural at navigating ships through the most dangerous of areas with a cool and confidant flair.
