Ellatine Corvus Daryaes was born on a colony of Betazed that was chosen by Section 31 for experiments with the colonists, attempting to create a more controlled Esper, but the project was abandoned when the dominion threat appeared.
Corvus' (as he prefers) father was one of those chosen for this process, but he had only ben altered so the natural empathy had been turned into a weapon that turned others hostile towards him and interfered with him understanding emotion.
This combined with his mother's more natural emotional state as a betazoid conspired to make his childhood miserable due to the parents arguing nearly every day.
Eventually, Corvus came across a federation ship offering a free tour of the federation's home worlds as part of an effort to make the colonists of the federation feel more involved in the whole, Corvus chose to go because he found the first officer strangely appealing, though he had no idea why at first.
As the months went by, he had managed to befriend the first officer, since the ship was rather quiet most days, not encountering more trouble than an irate ferengi.
One day, after visiting the world that would become new romulus, Corvus was asked to join the first officer in the holodeck, by this stage, corvus had become aware that he was attracted to the man, and had picked up what seemed to be attraction from the man himself, so he eagerly accepted.
Upon entering the holodeck, the first officer and a few other members of the ship's crew and even a couple tourists locked him in with the ship sensors disabled and beat him unconscious.
The next thing corvus knew, he was awake in a medical starbase near the romulan neutral zone, apparently, he had been found unconscious and injured in a torpedo casing by a romulan scout ship 2 days after he went to the holodeck, it had taken him a week to wake up and almost two weeks to recover enough to be cleared from the starbase, when he managed to book passage with a human cargo ship to his home colony world, he returned to find his mother had died and his father no longer viewed him as his son, apparently the first officer had claimed that Corvus had attacked some of the other tourists and tried to force himself on the first officer.
Lost, alone, scared and confused, Corvus left his home colony and booked passage on the first ship he could find that was affordable, this turned out to be a Vulcan ship heading for earth with some exchange students. On the month journey across the quadrant to earth, he had learned that he wanted to help people among the stars himself, and after mentioning it to the students, he had been convinced slowly to apply to Starfleet academy.
Corvus spent the next few years buried in studies and struggling with his self worth and his attraction to other males, but he focused on his studies and managed to make enough of an impression that the captain of the USS Hybernia chose him to be the first officer for the graduation training cruise.
Shortly into the training cruise, crazed raiders attacked the ship and took the captain captive, hoping to hold him over the novice crew for an easy surrender, but the captain had ordered Corvus to lock on to his own signal and fire, knowing the shot would destroy the bridge of the raider ship, hopefully crippling the ship enough for the Hybernia to escape.
Corvus obeyed the order, and fled the raiders, only to run into more trouble in the form of a starfleet distress call, knowing his ship could be the difference between life and death, he responded and aided the USS Odyssey which had been ambushed by a small cluster of borg on her shakedown cruise, damaged, but mostly whole, with few crew lost, Corvus was given command over the Hybernia as a part of a new program that is attempting to get more people like James Kirk and Hikaru Sulu out among the stars so the federation does get buried in diplomacy and politics that lead to war.
Some time passed before the Hybernia was destroyed by Orion Slave traders, but once again, Commander Daryaes impressed Starfleet command enough by saving his entire crew from the Syndicate and escaping by recovering the lost USS Turing.
Admiral Quinn gave him Captaincy and let him choose his own ship name, by this point, he had come to accept his attraction and he had discovered a forgotten ship that had it's own legacy like the enterprise, the USS Seneca, First a sister ship to the 1701 captained by Joseph Hart, it had only been notable for being one of the few ships commanded by an openly gay couple in Starfleet at the time. then the Seneca was retired, for some hidden reason. The Seneca-A was a ship that was in service between the 1701-B and 1701-C, and it had been notable to Corvus because the bridge crew had all been a-typical, The captain was Transgendered, the chief Science and medical officers were a lesbian couple, the security officer was gay and an unusual majority of the crew were also bi or homosexual themselves, however, the Seneca had been removed from Starfleet official history due to the crew's make up having caused the Orions to briefly declare war on the federation, until the Seneca-A had been destroyed, with all hands lost. Corvus could not find out much about the Seneca-B, but he had found that it was a ship that had existed some time prior to Wolf 359, but no records exist with more detail, or any hints as to why it seems to have been carefully erased from all the records possible aside from a vague threat from section 31 when he had tried to investigate it.
Inspired to change the hidden and tragic legacy of the Seneca, he chose to command the USS Seneca-C, this however was the last straw for his first officer and she demanded to be transferred to a more respectable ship. "like a Klingon garbage scow!" she told him.
Glad to be rid of those of his crew that were hostile to him, he went off in the Seneca-C to aide the Romulans and Remans, eventually Unveiling a Tal Shiar alliance with the Iconians that had ties to the destruction of Romulus and Remus, this had the unintended effect of gaining him Admiralty.
He accepted, but finds the rank uncomfortable so he tends to go by "Captain" in reference to having retained command of the Seneca-C, now he travels the stars, doing his best to heal and help anyone he can, occasionally hoping to find a nice boy or man to share life with, but not really expecting to, he has however come to a point that he is open about his attraction in an effort to fight the discriminatory attitudes he has encountered, even going so far as to join the main inter-factional fleet meant for others like him and acquiring command of a mirror universe warship in case he finds a need for a more forceful, rogue approach to dealing with discrimination.
In honor of the Inter-factional fleet he has joined he has named the Terran warship the ISS Stonewall. He does his best to keep this ship from the awareness of most of Starfleet, but he has made key figures in Starfleet aware that it is not an actual rogue Terran warship so as to not have to fight Starfleet's own ships if possible when using "vigilante justice" techniques to combat discriminatory ships or operations in space.
