Personnel Records / Doctor Durol Varr
May 04, 2018, 11:16:46 PM
Name:
Durol Varr (Original Last Name: Kotan)

Birthplace:
Gheryzan, Trill

Race:
Trill (Joined)

Rank:
Lieutenant

History:
   Durol Kotan learned at an early age that he loved a good challenge. During lessons at school he would often tune out whenever the teacher was speaking about something that he already knew. He picked up chess from his father, but abandoned the game four years later when none of his regular opponents could best him. Durol's search for a fulfilling career path ended when he heard about the difficult career path to become a Starfleet medical officer. Undergraduate work at Starfleet Academy, as well as the additional demands of medical school made the challenge quite appealing to Durol. After passing the entrance exams on his first attempt he moved to the Academy.

   Doctor Kotan, enjoying the challenge of Starfleet also applied to become host to a symbiont. During his early Starfleet career he would occasionally take leave to visit Trill and undergo the training required for joining with a symbiont. It was also during this time that he developed a fascination with xenopsychology. He began studying the field in his free time while stationed aboard Starbase 312, between his duties as a doctor and his trips back to the homeworld. As he moved from post to post, his routine remained relatively unchanged. Durol was eventually approved to become a host, but had to wait until a symbiont was available. He would not have to wait for very long.

   The USS Robin was undergoing repairs at Starbase 84 when a Trill ambassador, Sollas Varr was brought aboard infected with a mysterious illness. Despite the best efforts of the medical staff and Doctor Kotan it was certain that Sollas would not survive. Because of the sudden nature of the illness claiming her life, there was no time to take the fragile symbiont back to Trill. After a heated subspace call with the Symbiosis Commission, it was decided that the already-cleared Durol should be joined with the symbiont.

   After being joined, the now Doctor Varr had to take some time getting used to the new personality quirks and memories that the past Varr hosts. The routine did return in the end, however. The cycle of work, study, and the rare holodeck adventure with colleagues fueled by Saurian Brandy continued. When the USS Houston, where Varr was the long-serving ACMO, was decommissioned Durol received a promotion to Lieutenant and was reassigned to Asteria as the chief medical officer.

Previous Hosts:
Redan Varr: Redan was a Trill computer programmer. He lived a long life, had multiple children, and enjoyed his work. While on a trip to a conference his airship crashed in the middle of a forest, leaving him stranded for weeks. He eventually succumbed to the stress the ordeal put him through and died a few days after being rescued. The Varr symbiont was removed and eventually joined with another Trill, Irem.
Irem Varr: For years at the Kem'alta Institute, on any given night, if one looked up toward the Legal Studies building there was a good chance that the lights in Irem Varr's office would still be on. Irem was a natural scholar and was very dedicated to his job as a professor of International Law. He practically lived full time on campus, often getting lost in a good book or grading essays in a corner of the library until the librarian chased him off. After eventually being forced into retirement, Irem went onto live a few more decades before eventually passing away due to natural causes.
Kosem Varr: Kosem Varr was a counselor born in the city of Gheryzan who lived in the city her entire life. She worked at a long-term mental health facility on the outskirts of the city where she was in charge of a successful art class. Kosem never married, and died at the age of 87.
Lucan Varr: Lucan loved to travel, gamble, and see the sights that the universe had to offer. Having inherited a small starship from his father, Lucan worked as a private freighter captain. He loved to accept contracts that let him travel the Alpha Quadrant. This exciting lifestyle ended in a pirate attack which forced him to give up on traveling through space and stay on Trill for the remainder of his life.
Sollas Varr: Born to a lawyer and a Starfleet first officer, Sollas was always eager to do great things. She studied Federation Law and political philosophy during her years in school, and applied to the Federation Diplomatic Corps as soon as she was old enough. Starting her career as a junior aide to a Federation ambassador, Sollas quickly rose through the ranks and proved herself to be a very shrewd and persuasive diplomat. During a difficult series of trade negotiations, Sollas suddenly fell ill and had to be rushed to the nearest starbase for treatment. With no other options remaining the Symbiosis Commission approved the transfer of the symbiont to a Doctor Durol Kotan serving on the starbase, as he was already an applicant approved by the board to be joined to a symbiont.
