Personal History

 

The eldest daughter of Knight Technologies chief executive Richard Knight, and his wife, Eleanor, Victoria Knight arrived a full three weeks earlier than doctors predicted – on April Fool's Day. This fact became something of a running joke throughout her life, and, some say, resulted in a very wry, mischievous sense of humor. It was this sense of humor which helped her survive the "unending boredom" of boarding school as a young girl.

 

Despite this distance, Tory, as she is known to family and friends, was very close to her mother and father. Her father particularly doted on her, frequently taking her in to work with him, and allowing her to follow him through his day. Not only did this allow a closer bond between father and daughter, but also permitted Tory a great education: Knight Technologies was – and continues to be – known for their scientific contributions to exploration and development.

 

At the age of fifteen, however, both Richard and Eleanor were killed in a transport accident. Victoria and control of Knight Technologies were passed to the care of her uncle, John Knight. Under her uncle's care, Tory directed her attention to her academic studies, and excelled in school. She eventually enrolled in the Physics program at The New Johns Hopkins University, in North America. From there, with an eye to eventually running Knight Tech on her own, she completed her Masters in Business Administration.

 

It was during this time that she met Captain Julian de Beresford. An officer in the elite Marine Reconnaissance Unit, de Beresford was detailed to provide expertise to Knight Technologies, as the company developed a new project supporting Recon operations. Possessed of a similar dry wit, Tory and Beresford became fast friends – more if rumours are to be believed. Through his influence, she eventually enrolled as an officer candidate at Starfleet Academy.

 

 

Psychological Profile

 

Summary Statement: Victoria Knight is an engaging young woman, with a great deal of intelligence and razor-sharp wit. She frequently treads a fine line of wry indifference that I can only attribute the continual family joke concerning her birthday. That being said, she is a dedicated officer, well-trained and well-educated for the duties ahead.
