Past History:

 

Born the eldest of two children, Neptune grew up on the outskirts of Geneva. His father, Dune, served as Chief Diplomatic Advisor to the New European Union, centered in Geneva. Raised in an intellectual family, Neptune was taught the value of peace from his parents, both of which had been children during the Post-Atomic Horror Years. Neptune was always encouraged to seek peace as a first and only option.

 

At age 17, Neptune entered Oxford University, in England studying Political Theory. He graduated top of his class summa cum laude. After graduation from Oxford, Neptune enrolled at the University of Cairo, Egypt to pursue a Doctorate in Government. At age 25, he graduated with a Doctorate of Government and a second degree in Linguistics. After graduation, he began teaching at the Univ. of Cairo.

 

During mid-2140, Dune Rex had left the public sector for a position with Cochran Warp Technologies the leading research firm at the time. He served as Director of Governmental and Vulcan Relations.

 

In 2143, Dune passed away of natural causes. Following the death of his father, Neptune returned home to Geneva for a short time. Shortly after which he resigned as a professor and assumed his father’s job.

 

Neptune quickly impressed those with in the CWT hierarchy and worked his way up to Executive Vice-President of Public Relations.

 

During his time at CWT he made many friends with in the Earth Government. Based on that and his track record at CWT, Neptune was tapped by Starfleet Command to become the Chief Ambassador to Andor in mid-2154.

 

Recent Career History:

 

Shortly after his assignment to Andor in June of 2154, diplomatic relations between Earth, Andoria, and Vulcan became strained when a Vulcan cruiser was destroyed at the hands of supposed Andorian agents. The entire matter was being escalated by the Challenger Project.

 

The ensuing few weeks would be among the mostly deadly that Earth had perhaps ever faced, when the Andorians deployed an entire blockade around the Sol System. Before the blockade had been fully in place, Neptune returned to Earth, per orders of Earth Gov.

 

He would be an instrumental part in the peaceful ending of the blockade. For his part in that matter, he was offered one of the prestigious positions aboard one of the most controversial ships in fleet history, a ship that because of his diplomacy had been finished in less than three months, a new record.

 

The decision to leave the diplomatic corps was not an easy one for Neptune. His dealings with the Vulcans and Andorians had shown him that much work was still left to do. The wounds of the past had been reopened and it had nearly cost every man and woman in the Sol system their lives. But it was that very epiphany that lead him to take the position aboard the Challenger.

 

His skills in both diplomacy and linguistics made him an asset to the Challenger program, and he was given the Starfleet Rank of Lieutenant.

 

He accepted the position of Communications officer, and has been assigned to the vessel.

 

After a tenure as Comms officer of the Challenger, Neptune was "asked" to become Governor of a new Earth Colony. In late 2156, Neptune’s commission was reactivated and he was assigned as a special agent for Starfleet on a mission into Klingon territory

 

In the course of the mission, both the Executive and Commanding officers of the Challenger were lost, and Rex assumed command, but not before Captain Elias Moore instated him with the field promotion to Commander, and the provisional command of the UES Challenger.

 

Upon the return of the crew to Challenger, UE Starfleet upheld the field promotion and placed Commander Rex in temporary command of the Challenger and dispatched them on a diplomatic mission to Sauria.

 

When Challenger was recalled to Earth, the decision was made by the Admiralty to leave Rex in place, and promoted him to the rank of Captain.

 

Psychological Profile:

 

Neptune is what Keirsey sorter describes as the "Mastermind" or Rational Mastermind.

 

A Brief Description of the typical mastermind:

 

Of the four aspects of strategic analysis and definition, it is the contingency planning or entailment organizing role that reaches the highest development in Masterminds. Entailing or contingency planning is not an informative activity, rather it is a directive one in which the planner tells others what to do and in what order to do it. As the organizing capabilities the Masterminds increase so does their inclination to take charge of whatever is going on.

 

It is in their abilities that Masterminds differ from the other Rationals, while in most of their attitudes they are just like the others. However there is one attitude that sets them apart from other Rationals: they tend to be much more self-confident than the rest, having, for obscure reasons, developed a very strong will. They are rather rare, comprising no more than, say, one percent of the population. Being very judicious, decisions come naturally to them; indeed, they can hardly rest until they have things settled, decided, and set. They are the people who are able to formulate coherent and comprehensive contingency plans, hence contingency organizers or "entailers."

 

Masterminds will adopt ideas only if they are useful, which is to say if they work efficiently toward accomplishing the Mastermind's well-defined goals. Natural leaders, Masterminds are not at all eager to take command of projects or groups, preferring to stay in the background until others demonstrate their inability to lead. Once in charge, however, Masterminds are the supreme pragmatists, seeing reality as a crucible for refining their strategies for goal-directed action. In a sense, Masterminds approach reality as they would a giant chess board, always seeking strategies that have a high payoff, and always devising contingency plans in case of error or adversity. To the Mastermind, organizational structure and operational procedures are never arbitrary, never set in concrete, but are quite malleable and can be changed, improved, streamlined. In their drive for efficient action, Masterminds are the most open-minded of all the types. No idea is too far-fetched to be entertained-if it is useful. Masterminds are natural brainstormers, always open to new concepts and, in fact, aggressively seeking them. They are also alert to the consequences of applying new ideas or positions. Theories which cannot be made to work are quickly discarded by the Masterminds. On the other hand, Masterminds can be quite ruthless in implementing effective ideas, seldom counting personal cost in terms of time and energy.
