Personal History:

 

Joe was the second son born to Jestra and Richard Maxwell. His birth was on Betazed in his mothers childhood home by Lake Al-Nar. He was named after his grandfather on his father's side of the family; Jestra followed Richard's wishes on naming the boy. His father was away at the time of his birth, he was serving on a tour of duty aboard the USS Nautilus; on which he served aboard for another 10 years.

 

Joe was born into the Fifth House of Betazed and his mother was niece to the famed Lwaxana Troi, and cousin to Deanna Troi.

 

During Joe's childhood he was raised mostly by his mother on Betazed. Though he was born into a very privileged life he was never one to look down on people. He also believed that many of the Betazoid traditions were a little silly and foolish, but he would never think of voicing his opinions. His mother, being a full Betazoid, knew of his feelings and understood them, but she also knew that he should not speak his mind and asked him to set his feelings aside, for the good of the family. He loved and respected his mother so he obeyed her wishes.

 

When Joe reached the age of 10, his father, who visited Betazed every once in a while, transfered aboard Starbase G-6. The base was only a shuttle ride away so Joe and his brother Jon went over to live on the base with his father, while his mother remained on Betazed to tend her sickly mother.

 

Joe stayed with his father for a few years till he hit his pubescent years, when his empathic abilities started to kick in. He was forced to return to Betazed and commence training to control his abilities. Through rigorous training he managed to gain remarkable control over his empathic abilities, and like most half Betazoids, his basic telepathic abilities were absent, but strangely enough he was capable of using them amongst close family and friends. During this time his father would commute as much as he could between Betazed and Starbase G-6 to provide support for Joe during his training.

 

Once Joe turned eighteen he applied to enter Starfleet Academy and passed the entrance exam with flying colors. During the time he attended the Academy the Dominion War had erupted in the Alpha Quadrant. His father was a senior officer aboard Starbase G-6 at the time, and the G-6 was turned into one of the chief bases during the war, but suffered a major blow when the Dominion took Betazed in the final year of the war. Joe's mother was still on the planet when it was taken, caring for her mother who had passed away by the time Dominion forces had gained control of Betazed.

 

During the year that Betazed was under the control of the Dominion, Joe's mother decided to infiltrate the temporary provisional government that the Dominion had set up and play the mole. During the months she served in the provisional government she leaked classified and sensitive information to Klingon/Romulan/Federation Alliance, such as Dominion fleet movements and the attack strategies the Dominion had planned to use against the Alliance.

 

Once the war had entered its final months, Dominion forces on Betazed found out that Jestra was a mole and was leaking information to the Alliance. She was tried for high treason and was executed by the Dominion for her acts. Word of her death did not reach anyone till the end of war and the peace treaty was signed. Joe was halfway through his studies at the Academy when he found out and it hit him really hard. He was excused from his classes for a few weeks to mourn. He thought of dropping out of the Academy while he was away, but he knew his mother would be extremely disappointed in him if he did. So he continued his studies in the Academy and later on in Medical school.

 

He completed his studies and graduated third in his class and was assigned to the Federation outpost on New Bajor in the Gamma Quadrant, before being transfered aboard the USS Republic, by order of Rear Admiral Errrika BluRox, to fill the Chief Medical Officer position.

 

Medical Profile:

 

Specializations: Internal Medicine, Neurology, and Forensics Medicine.

Secondary: Intensive studies in Psychological Behaviors and Conditioning's.

 

Psychological Profile:

 

Joe is a quiet and restrained person. Since he has remarkable control over his emphatic abilities he rarely uses them. He also has rarely had any sort of problem. It's been remarkable how he's been able to cope with the death of his mother. We suspect it might be due to the ability for Betazoids to contain traumatic experiences and forcibly repress them from within there mind. We feel confident that the doctors repressed memories should not interrupt with his regular duties, and give him a clean bill of mental health.
