Jaton Belden was a leading member of the Trill Science Ministry during the late 18th and early 19th centuries. He was also the second host of the Belden Symbiont.

Early Life

Jaton was born in 1730 in the A'Pili Province of Trill, to Davin and Aren Aderyn, the second of three children. As the A'Pili Province was very mountainous, his parents both worked as guides to tourists climimg Mt. Milima, the highest peak on Trill. It was assumed that Jaton would go into the same line of work as his parents, but he grew increasingly discontent with his life there, and left for Mak'ala when he turned 18. At that time, he applied to the Trill Symbiosis Academy, and was chosen to become an initiate.
