Ferellan Tornellis

Lieutenant Commander Ferellan Tornellis is the chief intelligence officer aboard the starship Arcturus. Born on Kolar as a slave, he had “acquired” command of his own vessel by age 17, though the details behind his ascension are clear only to him. In the years after the Dominion War, he operated as a free trader in and around Federation space. Though he moved a wide variety of cargo, the source of most of his wealth was the sale of information. Through funneling funds to charities, he was able to free hundreds of other slaves covertly. He was the sole survivor of a crew of 35 when his trading ship was destroyed in 2381 by the Orion Syndicate, which left him embittered further towards his people. He accepted an offer to join Starfleet intelligence as an asset, operating undercover in the Romulan borderlands for several years before he was rewarded for his loyalty with a place at Starfleet Academy. Since his graduation, he has continued to serve Starfleet Intelligence.
