Before the War</td></tr>
</table>'Shades' is one of my three favorite characters of all time. I created him with the mood of Cochrane Research Facility (The T'Kon station, before she moved to a ship) in mind. He started out simply enough, a real goof-ball with a love of history, an even bigger love of his antique-shades, and a real penchant for making things difficult on people. He was goofy, he was nuttyâ¦ he was fun to play. He fit -right- in on Cochrane. Then Cochrane became a ship, rather then a research facility based on old technology... and I moved him to the Nimitz for a couple other missions.

He became rather more after the Burial Grounds missions on the Nimitz (See [[The Sevant Murders]]). Suddenly, there was more then a reason he was so goofy, and that his history was so twisted. He became a former enemy agent, before Doenitz âwas- the enemy. That mission, Burial Grounds, forced me to write dozens upon dozens of pages of back history for him, stuff that mostly has never seen the light of day except in dribs and drabs as the Civil War continues. A lot of that history will remain locked away in one of my folders, a lot of it coming to light would ruin half the plotlines Iâve got created fleet-wide.. so Iâll fully update him as I go. 

As usual, watch for authors notes. I have thisâ¦ feelingâ¦ that there will be many on Zach. *chuckles*
