Son of Albert Flamand and Maria Flamand. Father was captain of the freighter ‘Fragel’ that maintained routes between Earth and Mars. Several asteroids and mini planets were also visited on a regular basis such as Ceres and Sedna. After finishing his scientific studies, he decided to go to Starfleet academy to be assured of a bright future where he graduated as a scientific officer with brio. He was assigned to the planetary system Pinastri where he rose to vice chief of science and then transferred to SS Tranquility where he also held that position. After a few years, however, he began to yearn for more and applied for his transfer to a starship. He got what he asked for and was allowed to sign on as chief scientist on the brand-new USS Shogun.
