| Personal History | Gadeon was apprenticed to a Doctor in the Ilvia Medical Center at an early age during the Occupation, having an extremely good grasp of healing and medicine. His mother was the local healer of medicinal cures of an organic nature and therefore learned all of the healing and helpful properties of a vast amount of herbs and plants. His father saw that he could one day become an outstanding doctor and made an arrangement with the local Gul and sent him to the medical center to apprentice him there. He worked there for many years, helping the doctors and healers care for Cardassian and Bajoran alike. He learned quickly and was soon able to treat minor to moderate illnesses on his own. When he was about 14, he heard that his parents were murdered in a mass roundup of "dissidents". This led him to leave the Ilvia Medical center, taking many texts and information with him, and joined the Resistance. During his time with the resistance, his level of knowledge in medicine grew, specifically of a trauma nature. He was the Field Medic for a Resistance Team. His knowledge of medicine made him extremely efficient at killing Cardassians. While in the Resistance, he married and had 3 children. He was often away from his family fighting Cardies and therefore was unaware that they were killed during a raid of his cell's base of operations. He did not know of their fate until almost a month later and it killed him inside. As a result, he would volunteer for the most dangerous assassination missions, learning the most efficient way to kill Cardassians using poisons and small bladed weapons. He would often use his status as a doctor to kill many injured Cardassians, specifically those that were soldiers. He found it difficult to transition to "civilian life" after the Occupation ended and was given a position as a doctor in the Bajoran Military. He spent many an hour with Vedeks and Psychologists to deal with his anger and psychological trauma at the loss of his family and channeled his anger and bitterness into his medicine, leaving the world of assassination behind. But it was ever lurking in the background. When Bajor was admitted into the Federation, he applied to Starfleet as he no longer wanted to stay on Bajor. He did a fast track Academy training in Medicine and Graduated near the top of his class but had many reprimands in his jacket for insubordination and rebelliousness. He only reason he was allowed to graduate was his knowledge of Trauma Surgery and Medicine. He never stayed in a posting for long, always getting into trouble with his superiors due to his insubordination and his willingness to do whatever it took to help his patients. |
