Harmon Rek in Starfleet

*note* There is more to this, but I dodn;t want to 'spill all the beans' before they have a chance to come up in game play. Robert has the full story. *note*

Lt. Commander Harmon Rek (a joined Trill - previously Harmon Kabat-Zin) is the fifth Trill to host the Rek Simbiant. Lt. Commander Harmon Rek is also the first Trill (joined or otherwise) to be an officer in Starfleet, though there may be one or two other Trill serving as non-commissioned Starfleet personnel.

Harmon is a dedicated and competitive officer, always trying to impress command and his fellow officers. It has been noted in his record by previous ranking officers that Lt. Com. Rek is sometimes too driven and sometimes expresses an air of superiority among his peers, despite his ability to lapse into humor and to make light of even the most serious situations. In his own evaluations, Lt. Com. Rek has commented on this sighting that he sometimes feels he exudes an unsettling social air he believes is caused by the five lifetimes of wisdom and experience he has to draw from, which humans (who comprise the bulk of Starfleet) do not feel comfortable with. It is also noted in his evaluations that Lt. Com. Rek tries to compensate for this social deficiency with a wide knowledge base of Earth culture and history, and with his attempt to blend in with the humans of Starfleet whom his race closely resembles. Unfortunately, in trying too hard he often gets his earth history facts and anecdotes distorted, confusing the very people he so desperately wants to blend in with.
