Distinguishing Physical Characteristics

Logan is very physically fit and works out most days to keep in shape. Some people have commented that in fact Logan is a little too strong for his build, but he has never commented on the fact.

Personality

A career officer, Logan is a very likeable character with his peers. His involvement with Starfleet Intelligence has however given him a very guarded approach to strangers. He has a strong engineering background and is knowledgeable in many alien technologies. It was these qualities that first brought Logan to the attention of Starfleet Intelligence and his training and knowledge has made him an excellent covert operative.

Hobbies and Interests

Holo-programming, Martial arts.

Background

Born into a Starfleet family, Logan spent many years with his parents exploring the galaxy. By 2366, his father was a senior security officer on a frontline base close to the Cardassian-Federation demilitarised zone and his mother was a command officer on the base. There had been no question that Logan wouldn't join Starfleet, and at the age of eighteen he returned to Earth and started at the Academy, majoring in Engineering.

Having always had a 'knack' of fixing things that others only saw as being un-repairable, Engineering was the obvious career path. However, in his second year, the Dominion War started and his parents found themselves in the front line. In 2371, just after the end of his third year, Logan received the news that his parents had been killed during a Dominion attack on the base. At first he was worried about his young sister Lana, who had been with his parents at the time, but soon received word that his sister was safe and returning to Earth.

With no other family to take care of Lana, Logan was forced to stop his Academy training indefinitely to look after Lana. Three years passed, whilst Lana grew up, and in 2374 Logan returned to the Academy to complete his training. It was during his final year that Logan was noticed by Starfleet Intelligence, who persuaded him to switch courses and offered him a posting at Starfleet HQ when he graduated. As well as the Intelligence courses, Logan also took additional courses in alien technologies and advanced piloting.

After graduating, Logan took up the offer to work at Starfleet HQ, which meant that he could remain close to his sister until she was old enough to look after herself. However, events took over and in 2379 Logan was asked to go on an away mission that took him to the area beyond the nebula known as the 'Briar Patch'. He left in a small vessel with three other Intelligence officers and nothing was heard from them for over three months. The vessel returned to Federation space in early 2380, with only two survivors, both in stasis and the vessel on autopilot. The details of his mission and the year after his return are classified and compartmentalised. What is known is that Logan lost his right eye, which was replaced with a cybernetic device.

After a year, Logan returned to active duty and moved from Intelligence to Security, gaining a promotion to Full Lieutenant. He was re-assigned to Utopia Plantia where among other things he was overseeing the security during the upgrades of the New Orleans class vessels. By now his younger sister had entered Starfleet Academy and Logan now felt that he could relax and enjoy his career. In 2383, the first of the upgraded New Orleans class vessels was ready to leave and Logan was assigned to the USS Taurus as Security Officer. After two years of exhaustive testing, the USS Taurus was finally re-commissioned, and Logan received a promotion to Chief of Security onboard the Taurus.

The USS Taurus was destroyed in early 2385 and most of the crew were transferred to the USS Leviathan-B. During his time onboard the Leviathan-B, Logan started a relationship with the Chief Medical officer Rahel Kahfre. The USS Leviathan-B was destroyed during a battle with the Karled, a race from the far side of the DMZ between Federation and Mulluran space.

After taking a six month leave of absence, both Logan and Rahel returned to Starfleet, but were assigned to different vessels, keeping them apart. Unable to remain apart, both applied to be transferred to a location where they could be together. Rahel was offered a position as Chief Medical Officer for the Starfleet office at Lake Town Serenity, along with a promotion to Lieutenant Commander. Logan was offered the position of Chief of Security at Lake Town and both arrived in late October 2386.

Logan has a Cybernetic right eye with infra-red sights and a transceiver which can transmit what the eye is seeing to others. This eye was replaced during the period that Logan and the USS Thames was missing and there is no explanation as to whom or why it was replaced.

Stronger than the average human, Logan is a martial arts expert.

At the end of 2386, Logan recieved a message from Commander Dawn Benson, a former lover and the mother of his daughter Bridie. Logan had known nothing about Bridie until 2376, when he'd recieved legal papers requesting that he allow a Lieutenant David Benson the legal rights to adopt Bridie.

At first Logan refused, feeling angry and hurt that he'd been kept out of his daughter's life. Eventually he realised that Dawn and David had far more to offer Bridie than he had and signed the papers. He never forgot about Bridie, but kept his distance allowing the Benson family to live their lives.

In December 2386, both Dawn and David Benson were killed in action. Dawn had named Logan as Bridie's new legal guardian, leading Logan to travel to Earth and bring her back to Serenity.

It will take both of them time to adjust to their new lives and responsibilities.
