BACKGROUND
Pre-Birth And Early Years:
Born to the Romulan Tel'eram of the Line of Tellus and Human Lieutenant Scott Calvin in San Francisco in the year 2383. Tel'eram's family had barely just removed themselves from all Romulan governments in protest of Tal'aura's regime change, but Tel'eram at a young seventeen felt it necessary to remove herself from the turmoil of her homeworld. Seeking political asylum in federation space, the Titan agreed to assist in transporting her to Earth or at least the nearest starbase at their convenience. She offered her services as a triage nurse on the Titan until Capt. Riker was able to make the journey. During this time, Tel'eram began a romantic relationship with Lieutenant Calvin and by the time the Titan arrived at Earth, Tel'eram was pregnant. Lt. Calvin offered to marry Tel'eram and take a leave, which she graciously accepted. Calvin was present for the birth of his son, and the two chose to name him Edgar, a human name, to make it easier for life on Earth. Edgar suffered a terrible loss in 2388 when his mother died trying to aid evacuations on Romulus just one year prior. At this point Lt. Cmdr. Calvin requested Edgar be allowed to stay with him onboard the Titan.
Boarding School:
Edgar lasted only one year on the Titan before his father decided it was too dangerous and stressful for his only son to live onboard, and that the education received would not compare to that learned in a structured class environment. Edgar was enrolled in Golden Gate Starfleet Preparatory School in the year 2390 as a result. The school was not the ideal place for Edgar, as most of the boys bullied him for acting more human than Vulcan. For the first few years, Edgar mostly kept to himself and focused on the things that fascinated him. In 2394, Edgar's almost drastic change in height staved most of the prior bullying. When those few that still attempted to push him around were sorely corrected, the bullying stopped completely. His teachers began encouraging him to try various sports and other extracurricular activities to help use up some of his energy. To Edgar's enjoyment, and the professors' relief, Edgar chose to burn through his extra energy on the wrestling team and the swim team.
Joining the Academy:
In 2399, Edgar finally began to admit he was different more than just in his Romulan heritage. He focused on other things around this time to distract him, going as far as to apply to Starfleet Academy, the next logical step for most of his classmates at Prep School. There was a slight controversy for his application, given that most still feared the turmoil with the Romulan Star Empire would too easily affect him. In 2400, Edgar's lineage, something he was unaware of, was outed as one of the, if not the, last surviving heirs of the line of Tellus. In the end, his aptitude and loyalty to his father and the Federation far outweighed the risks any such controversy attempted to muster, and he was accepted to Starfleet Academy in 2401.
Starfleet Academy:
Over the next six years, Edgar studied at Starfleet Academy and earned degrees in both Computer Programming and Engineering by the year 2407. He also tried out for and joined the Starfleet wrestling and swim teams. During his college days, Edgar explored more into the similarities between Vulcans and Romulans, gaining a great deal of insight with their various techniques for controlling their emotions and calculating their logic. It was also during this time that he began exploring who he was as an individual and coming to terms with the fact. Edgar graduated eleventh in his class.
Starfleet:
Upon graduation he was awarded the rank of ensign and assigned to the U.S.S. New Orleans. After his first year of service, Edgar took and passed the Bridge Officer training course; enabling him to serve on the bridge when necessary. While serving aboard the New Orleans throughout the next year and a half, Edgar proved himself a valuable asset as an engineering team member on all types of away missions.
