Turpin has always been a talented and lucky Romulan. His parents, sister, and brother-in-law all have helped Turpin to advance in his career and his studies. His talents allowed him to start his studies at an early age and to quickly improve his skills. Turpin was also added by his father and brother-in-law in political matters. His many complaints about he use of his skills for military use do not seem to get the attention of high ranking military officials. He is not worried about his dismissal and is looking forward to the opportunity to continue his studies, learn more about Federation cultures, and get a much needed rest.
Personality Profile: Turpin is a unique Romulan in that he seems to have compassion for others races, yet he is still respected by many Romulans. Once you get over his ‘Romulan/Vulcan’ appearance, he is easy to talk to and has been called an excellent listener. He gets joy from helping others.
Special Notes: Turpin has traveled to Sienica with his former CO, Stalla t’Ashtar. While their personalities and outlooks on life are quite different, they have become good friends.
