| Personal History | Kes had trained from childhood to be a soldier as a member of the Andorian Imperial Guard. His large frame allowed him to dominate his classmates in feats of physical strength and this made him somewhat arrogant as he learned to value strength and power, namely his own. He was often stationed with his family growing up and took part in many foot patrols as part of his training. When he reached the age of maturity he was given his full commission as an officer in the Imperial Guard and began going on more dangerous and critical assignments. In 2373, with the Dominion War looming, Kes and several of his fellow young officers were put on an exchange with the Starfleet Marines in order to boost their numbers. His first taste of the War was during the attack on the Dominion Shipyards at Torros III. While Kes enjoyed the success of that operation, it was followed by many failures and retreats. This hardened him more and more, galvanizing him against the Dominion with each loss of ground and life. When the Romulans joined the fight, Kes was far from relieved. He felt that his fallen comrades in arms and the Alliance as a whole had been cheated by their initial refusal and now they were posturing solely for their own gain and not that of the whole. Even though the Dominion War ended in the unconditional surrender of the Dominion, there was still work to be done and Kes decided to stay with the StarFleet Marines for a few years before returning to the Andorian Imperial Guard. The dissolution of the Alliance and the return of Romulan isolationism seemed to reinforce Kes’ opinions of them. The years of fighting had also begun to take a toll on Kes both mentally and physically. This led to a few trips to medical as well as the beginning of his self-medication. After the destruction of the Romulan Empire, Kes personally disagreed with the opening of Federation borders. Because of the situation, Kes returned to the Starfleet Marines. However to him, Romulans as a whole had little to no honor and were self-serving and distrustful. Even though he didn’t agree with the policies put in place, he would still do his job as he was told. Albeit, not happily. |
