-=CAREER HISTORY=-

 

Lieutenant Marx was assigned to the Arcadia-D straight from the Academy, originally assigned to the Science Department as an Astronomer/Astrophysicist. He was transferred to the bridge, at his own request.

 

One of his more notable achievements while assigned to the Science Department was the creation of a synthetic intelligence known as HAL. HAL is designed to ease user interaction with the main computer, and to provide automated diagnostic and power distribution routing. The Arcadia D and E were the only ships in the Fleet so equipped.

 

HAL was often heard at times arguing with another synthetic intelligence resident on the Arcadia's main computer, known as Harvey, usually regarding ship's disposition and company. HAL has since been deactivated, due to potential psychiatric instability. Psychiatric consultation with members of Starfleet Medical and the Daystrom Institute indicate that HAL should remain off-line due to severe paranoid schizophrenia, coupled with a moderate level of obsessive-compulsive disorder.

 

Lt. Marx was reassigned to the USS Arcadia, as Tactical Officer, following an assignment with Special Operations Command, Rhydin Sector. The nature of his assignment with SOCOM is classified beyond the scope of this document. Inquiries can be directed to Chief of Starfleet Operations (SOCOM), as required. He was promoted to the position of Chief of Security on SD 10607.19.

 

 

-=PERSONAL HISTORY=-

 

Lieutenant Marx is the second son of late Fleet Admiral Christopher Marx and Seriana Ravensward, and has a twin sister, Virginia, currently on faculty at the Vulcan Science Academy. His mother still resides on Rhydin. His stepmother, Admiral Lilliana Gunji, retired as Commander, Temporal Disturbance Investigations, and is serving in the Diplomatic Corps. Her children, William's step brother and sister, are Commander Hunter and CPT Hayden Dacotah (currently Missing In Action), and are serving as Chief Engineer, Utopia Planitia Naval Yard, and Commanding Officer, USS Arcadia, NCC-1742-E, respectively. Two other elder half-siblings, Ensign (Dr.) Crystine Marx and Lt. Commander Christopher Marx, Jr., were killed in the line of duty. The causes of their deaths have been deemed Top Secret/SCI or higher, and are beyond the scope of this document.

 

Lt. Marx, while growing up on Rhydin, trained in Musabetsu Kakutou Saotome-ryu (Saotome School of Unrestricted Grappling/Anything Goes) martial arts, and is considered a 4th Dan in the school, and holds master level certifications in several, more orthodox unarmed martial arts styles.

 

During his time at Starfleet Academy, Rhydin, Lt. Marx was continually compared to his half-brother, who graduated in the top ten of his class, while William tended towards the bottom of the middle third of his class. His grades put him in loggerheads with his father, even though Admiral Marx retired from Starfleet as Rhydin Sector Commander on the day that his youngest son left for the Academy. There are, however, unsubstantiated reports that the eldest and youngest Marx were already fighting between themselves, regarding the younger's future training and spouse.

 

While the younger Marx was undergoing rigorous martial arts training with the founder of the Musabetsu Kakutou Saotome-ryu, Saotome Genma, the Admiral agreed to have his son marry Sensei Saotome's daughter, Ranko. The betrothal was duly recorded by the Nerima city offices, and is a matter of public record. As is the Lieutenant's second betrothal to the Amazon warrior Xian Pu.

 

Just prior to the Lieutenant's entry into Starfleet Academy, Marx and the Saotomes were involved in a martial arts tournament in a village just outside of the boundaries of Antietam Ranch (see below). In an accident, Lt. Marx was given the Amazon Kiss of Marriage after defeating the village champion, Xian Pu. In an unfortunate turn of events for the young martial artist and Starfleet Cadet, the local authorities chose to follow Amazon laws and traditions, thereby recognizing the second betrothal.

 

Lieutenant Marx was married to both his fiancées in a traditional Joketsuzoku ceremony while on leave, on 10309.15. On SD 10403.15, Xian Pu Marx gave birth to the newest Marx-Hayden Marx-under the care of Arcadia OB/GYN Dr. R. Westheimer. Their daughter is named after her aunt, who was captured by Romulans, and held against her will at the time of Hayden’s birth.

 

Lieutenant Marx was on a Leave of Absence from Starfleet since 10404.15, to attend to family issues on Rhydin. His second wife, Xian Pu, was named regent of the Joketsuzoku Amazons while her great grandmother, Kuh Lon, underwent surgery and therapy. While on Rhydin, Lt. Marx secured an exclusive contract to provide Tiffany & Co. with high quality, natural gemstones as mined within Antietam Ranch. The deal was finalized on Risa.

 

At the urging of Captain Moose, Xian Pu, Ranko, and Hayden returned to Rhydin. Lt. Marx’s wife Ranko delivered a healthy pair of fraternal twins- Nodoka and Will, Jr.- on SD 10505.08. However, during attack on the Lieutenant’s family by the Kuno Clan, Ranko was seriously injured. For attacking and injuring her sister-wife, Xian Pu and the Joketsuzoku declared blood feud on the Kuno Clan, with Adm. Gunji’s consent. The Kuno Clan ceased to exist on SD 10508.16, with the decapitation of the last surviving member, and the reason behind the blood feud. Ranko survived her injuries, but the trauma was such that she will be unable to bear any more children.

 

 

-=FAMILY HISTORY=-

 

The late Fleet Admiral Christopher Marx was the first captain of the USS Antietam, NCC-1798-A, the lead vessel of the Antietam-class carrier/battleship. Marx commanded the Antietam until his first retirement as Rhydin Sector troubleshooter, holding the rank of Commodore, save for a stint as Commandant, Hostile Weather Survival School, Keflavik, Iceland. Marx was pulled out of retirement following the firing of the Rhydin Sector Commander, Fleet Admiral Hiro Nakajima, by Commander, Starfleet; promoted to the rank of Fleet Admiral, and assigned as the new Sector Commander. The reasons for this occurrence are classified at a level higher than Top Secret/SCI, and are therefore beyond the scope of this document.

 

During Marx's first retirement, the Admiral began purchasing the 25000 square kilometer Antietam Ranch, an area roughly half the size of Bosnia-Herzegovina. However, due to the intervention of a junior third-level functionary at the Rhydin Bureau of Land Management, several small, non-aligned villages and towns became part of the Ranch, making the Admiral not only one of the largest landowners on the planet, but also a national leader. To quell the possibility of revolt or riot in his new territories, Admiral Marx, in his later capacity of Sector Commander had the sector Starfleet Corps of Engineers introduce modern sanitation, power distribution and transportation network to the new nation. The Admiral also introduced a parliamentary system of government for the citizens of the Ranch to enact laws for their citizens, and to allow for the Prime Minister and to run the new nation while the Admiral was away. By default of Rhydin being a Federation member, the new nation entered the Federation, and the Prime Minister also acts as the Ranch's Ambassador to the sector council. Several veins of blue sapphire and diamonds were found within the territory of the Ranch, and environmentally friendly mining techniques were implemented.

 

Several inconclusive battles were fought with the Joketsuzoku; a matriarchal tribe of warriors with ties to the Amazons of mythology that had been transplanted from the hinterlands of China. Admiral Marx also tried political maneuvering and a peace treaty to peacefully have the tribe come into the boundaries of the Ranch. All attempts were rebuffed, until the Admiral's youngest son defeated the village champion and received the Kiss of Marriage. The Admiral accepted the validity of the native custom, and allowed multiple marriages as a valid marriage type. The Amazon nation, led by Xian Pu’s great-grandmother, Kuh Lon, was welcomed into the borders of the Ranch.

 

The Admiral's first wife, Captain Jennifer Rand, served as the dedicated communications officer for the USS Antietam, until her promotion to the rank of Captain and assignment to the USS Blackhawk. Due to the nature of both vessels missions, relations were strained severely enough to warrant separation and divorce. Captain Rand remained commander of the Blackhawk until its destruction under unusual circumstances. Those circumstances are classified, and beyond the scope of this document.

 

Their first son, Lt. Commander Christopher Marx, Jr., served on the USS Arcadia, NCC-1742-D, from SD 9505.00 to 10005.15, in the capacities of assistant science officer, brig resident, Security Department Executive Officer, under then-Commander Christopher T. Moose, and Tactical Officer. Commander Marx also served in an unofficial capacity as the Arcadia's Special Operations Command operative, having undergone training at Starfleet's Special Operations School, Ft. Benning, GA, NorthAm, Sol III. During his time serving on the Arcadia, Commander Marx was suffering from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder regarding the death of his fraternal twin sister, Ens. Crystine Marx (see below). Various methods were used to treat the disorder, but was never successfully treated. He was list as "Missing/Presumed Dead" by Starfleet SOCOM after leaving the Arcadia. Following the Battle of Caer Bannog, it was determined that LCDR Marx was alive, and acting in a deep-cover role. Upon his return to Rhydin, LCDR Marx was drummed out of Starfleet by Rhydin Sector Commander FADM Gendo Ikari on SD 50511.09, for "Conduct Unbecoming a Starfleet Officer". A warrant was issued for his apprehension following the theft of the SOCOM freighter Wild Stallion. That warrant has yet to be resolved, and the Wild Stallion yet to be recovered.

 

Their daughter, Ensign (Dr.) Crystine Marx, served aboard the USS Antietam in the capacity of Medical Officer, from her graduation from Starfleet Medical Academy, with a degree in traditional internal and xenomedicine, until her death. The circumstances surrounding her death are classified at a level higher than Top Secret/SCI, and are therefore beyond the scope of this document.

 

During his first retirement, then-Commodore Marx met and subsequently married Seriana Ravensward. Two children, a second set of fraternal twins, resulted from the marriage--William John and Virginia. After his reactivation and subsequent promotion, Admiral Marx's relationship with his second wife became strained, resulting in an inevitable divorce. The Admiral received joint custody of the twins, until receiving full custody at the request of his ex-wife.

 

Virginia graduated from the Vulcan Science Academy with degrees in Mathematics and Theoretical Mathematics, and is currently serving on the faculty of the esteemed institution.

 

While serving as Rhydin Sector Commander, Admiral Marx had the opportunity to renew a relationship with Admiral Gunji, while under an investigation for possible temporal violations. A romance was renewed, and the two Admirals were married with full pomp and ceremony of a military wedding. Admiral Gunji adopted her husband’s youngest children, to prevent any stigma following them in life.

 

Upon the Admiral's death, due to natural causes, Antietam Ranch was divided into six equal parts-one portion going to each surviving child or their spouse.

 

 

-=MEDICAL HISTORY=-

 

Lt. Marx suffers from a genetically inherited allergy to the Retnax-series of ocular treatments, forcing the Lieutenant to wear eyeglasses. This allergy was inherited from his father, and has occurred in all three Marx males. Testing at Starfleet Academy, Rhydin, indicate that this genetically inherited allergy only affects the male members of the Marx family, upon reaching puberty. There are no limitations to the Lieutenant's duty assignments as a result of the use of glasses.

 

Lt. Marx lost his left eye after a bar fight with an enraged, drunken Klingon while on assignment with SOCOM. The Lieutenant refused an ocular implant to replace his left eye, believing that his allergy to Retnax may also interfere with the implant's capability to interface with the optical nerve.

 

Psychological Profile

 

Due to an incident while undergoing martial arts training on Rhydin, Cadet Marx exhibits a severe, almost pathological, fear of deep water. The incident, an attack by a predator native to Rhydin known as a "hundredtentacles", involved a young William Marx actually being eaten by the creature. As a result of the attack, Cadet Marx cannot be in water any deeper than 15 feet for any prolonged time. If he is in deeper water for a prolonged length, agitation and nervousness begin. If he has not been removed, catatonia will set in, as he withdraws himself to protect his very sanity. The catatonic state will last until some twenty to thirty minutes after removal from the deep water to shallow water or out entirely.

 

I have tried multiple treatment methods, without successful results. The patient remained unaffected in water up to 15 feet in depth, but the moment he was placed in deeper water, agitation and nervousness set in. After prolonged testing, the patient entered a catatonic state, slowing down his metabolism and respiratory rate, throwing the monitors into panic mode. Group therapy, hypnotherapy and medication did nothing to prevent the patient from going into his catatonic state when placed in deep water. The only way that I found that did not cause the patient to enter a catatonic state was when his sense of honor was required. When I asked him about this, the patient advised me that his sensei always told him 'It is the duty of a martial artist to protect the weak.'

 

It is my recommendation that the patient be waived from deep water training, and to be assigned where the possibilities of encountering deep water will be minimal, as he may present a risk to his shipmates if he were to enter such a situation, unless his sense of honor is required.
