Background:Kuren Nilas was born during the Cardassian occupation. During his life on Bajor, he has seen a lot of brutallity from the Cardassians and he still hates them all for what they did with his people. His parents, both very religious, wanted him to become vedek. But he didn't like that and because they forced him into a religious direction, he went away from it, one day swearing of all religion. Although he still followed the - secret - celebrations with his parents, he did it only because they forced him.At the age of 14, he entered a resistance cell, and fought for 2 years, showing skill with both energy weapons and explosives. When he was 16, he was captured during a Cardassian raid and transferred for slave labour to Terok Nor. There he learned his lessons in survival on enemy ground, lessons he never forgot. Since he was the only none religious Bajoran on the station, the others didn't trust him. The next two years of his life are spent alone on a hostile station, where even his own people didn't trust him. The only good thing that happened on the station was that the heavy work gave him a muscular build, so the others were a little afraid of him.

When the Cardassians withdrawed from Terok Nor, he was just 18. Not wanting to go back to Bajor and its religious fanatism, he traveled to Earth, and captured by the Federation system of freedom, he decided to join Starfleet.Given his previous experience with the resistance, he choose security and tactical as major,and out of a whim, engineering as minor.

He proved good in security, and surprisingly, engineering went also well. His grades were good, his personality a bit less. Other students saw a Bajoran and immediately started talking about religion, something he didn't like. He repeatedly made it clear, mostly with his fists. As a concequence, when he graduated, he was placed on the USS Britain, an old Miranda class vessel that was kept well away from the front lines. With the outbreak of the Dominion war, and the heavy losses, they needed every capable officer on the front lines and Nilas was transferred to the USS Rachidis, an Intrepid.

During the following year, he destinguished himself numerous times during battles with Jem'Hadar and Cardassians. But the Rachidis was destroyed during a battle with five Galors, and those who managed to get to the escape pods, taken prisoner. He was forced to stay in the prison camp untill they end of the war. His previous experiences on Terok Nor proved valuable, and he managed to survive were a lot of others did not.

After the war, he was promoted and reassigned, this time to the USS Rabin, an Akira class cruiser, where he served as chief security. Everything went well untill the Rabin stopped at DS9. A Bajoran vedek payed a visit, and he and Nilas got into an argument. The argument ended with Nilas breaking the vedek's nose.

Although no charges were pressed, Nilas found himself transferred to the USS Endeavour less then a week later.

Personality Profile: He has seen and lived through a lot of horror during his youth, so he tends towards cynism. He wants to be the best in what he does and asks the same devotion of his crew. He still has a grudge towards religion and Cardassians. The fastest way to get him angry (and yourself in deep trouble) is to start about the nice things of Bajoran religion.

physical profile: He is muscular build and keeps himself in shape. He has blonde hair and brown eyes. Normally they look friendly, but he can look as if his eyes will fire like a type XII phaser.

Special Notes: He hasn't gone back to Bajor after the occupation, since he didn't want to have anything to do with those "religious fanatics".
