Tovar

Tovar was a Yynsian and the tactical officer on the USS Anomaly.

Around the time of Tovar's birth, Jaroch was killed while away from the home he shared with Patricia Hawkins on the Bak'u Homeworld. Finding his lifeforce in the Past Life Clearing House, Jaroch interloped on the next available Yynsian birth, which was Tovar. As such, Tovar grew up with two lifeforces vying for control inside of him.

As an adolescent, Tovar's parents disappeared along with the entire Multek Enclave. Tovar was attending a Starfleet camp at the time on Waystation Prime, where he met Reginald Bain. Bain took to Tovar and adopted him after his parents vanished.

Shortly before he left for Starfleet Academy, Tovar learned that his adopted mother, Rosalyn Bain, was actually a Section 31 agent.

Tovar helped Rosalyn prevent Captain Bain from being killed by a holographic assassin hired by Thot Phul while the Anomaly was at the Breen homeworld for peace talks. (Mrs. Bain, You're Needed [BG])

When the Anomaly was sent to the Andromeda Galaxy, one of Tovar's past lives took control of him insisting that they were going the wrong way. While controlled by this past life, Tovar threatened several engineering officers and demanded that they turn the ship around. He was sedated by a well-thrown hyprospray from Nurse Ih'vik. Tovar awoke with no memory of the incident. (Do You Have Anything To Declare? [BG])

After the Anomaly was heavily damaged and stranded in Andromeda, Tovar went with Dr. Natalia Kasyov aboard the raceabout USS Caspian to try to find Cabral, who had been forcibly removed from the ship by the Associates. He and Kasyov went to see Gyjik, the owner of Gyjik's Galaxy Gateway but were prevented from seeing him by his secretary Moklok. Kasyov convinced Moklok that Tovar was attracted to the squidoid being, and while Moklok turned her amorous attention to Tovar, Kasyov was able to slip in to Gyjik's office to speak to him. Upon leaving Gyjik's, their raceabout was intercepted by the Associates, who took Tovar and Kasyov with the intent of studying them in an experiment. (Yes, We Do Indeed Have Something To Declare! [BG])

In the experiment, Tovar and Kasyov were to live as husband and wife. Kasyov was given a job at a testing facility, but most of what she did involved tasting various jam. Tovar, meanwhile, was assigned to be a homemaker, a task simplified by his Tarva and Toflay past lives. Kasyov met Balpar who introduced her to another disembodied brain, and the group plotted to escape. Before they could put a plan into action, Tovar attacked the testing facility with a device constructed by his past life Totap. The Anomaly arrived in the chaos and rescued Kasyov and Tovar. Tovar learns that he is now pregnant from his encounter with Moklok and carrying hundreds of little squidlings in what he thought was a rash. (Domestic Tranquility [BG])

After the Emergency Diplomatic Hologram incapacitated most of the crew and started attacking the Associates, Tovar worked with the Steve! hologram to blow up the Anomaly's primary holographic junction, which disabled all holograms on the ship. (Transparent Motives [BG])

While the Anomaly was rescuing Cabral from an Associates space station, Tovar was giving birth, the stress of which caused him to lose control of his past lives. Moklok arrived just in time, thanks to hitching a ride with the Lackinis, and took all of the squid babies away, saying that Tovar was too unstable to be a parent. On the return voyage to the Federation, Tovar's past lives continued to intrude until finally once they were back in the Milky Way, they took Tovar over completely and went to the Anomaly's bridge with a bomb demanding that Bain take them "the right way." (Disassociation [BG])

Bain and Commander Prosak were able to subdue Tovar, and they took him to Yyns to see the Polems at the Temple Of Mi Clane, who determined that Tovar had an Interloper, which they would remove and destroy with the Holnym ritual. Tovar convinced Bain to help the Interloper instead, and, leaving Yyns and avoiding capture by a Yynsian fleet, the Interloper led them to the Ba'Ku homeworld, where Patricia Hawkins now lived. With the help of Polem J'Atric, the Interloper was transferred into a body created from a saved transporter pattern of Jaroch, reuniting Jaroch and Hawkins and getting Tovar down to the one life force he should have had. (Mind If I Play Through?, Aren't You Dead? [BG])

After the Interloper was removed, Tovar's remaining past lives fought for control of his body. When the Cardassian terrorist Fubar got the drop on Rosalyn Bain in her own home, knocking her out and then tying her up, he was delighted by Tovar's past lives, who cooked and cleaned for him. Fubar planned to take Tovar with him after he killed Rosalyn. Tovar was able to get his past lives to work together to build a device that coated Fubar in a shell of quick-drying chocolate, rendering him immobile. He was then beamed away and imprisoned by Section 31. After this, Tovar's past lives allowed him to keep control of his body for the most part. (The Ties That Bind [BG])

Carn, the head of Section 31, tried to recruit Tovar into organization, promising to help Tovar find out what happened to his missing parents. Carn sent Tovar to Huryl where Fleet Admiral Holden Sollars was vacationing with his mistress. Sollars was cheating on his wife, Section 31 Agent Clara Sollars, with a Bajoran woman named Seddi Tral. Tovar's assignment was to the relationship between Sollars and Tral, which he did. Carn then sent Tovar back to the USS Anomaly to deal with a malfunctioning holographic duplicate of Tovar. Once Tovar stopped the hologram, he told Carn that he would not be joining Section 31. Around the same time, Tovar was starting to date Lieutenant Jamie Torgerson. (Privileges Of Membership [BG])

Tovar continued to date Torgerson; although, his mother put an inadvertent strain on their relationship when she interrupted two of their dinner dates to discuss the Vulcan Alliance and Prosak. Concerned about Prosak's odd behavior after returning from a spy mission to Vulcan, Tovar followed her while they were attending a ceremony to install a new Praetor on Romulus. He arrived in the Praetor-to-be's office just after Rosalyn stopped a brain-washed Prosak from assassinating the new Praetor. Rosalyn told Tovar to take the credit for stopping Prosak and to have the Romulans scan her for signs of a forced mind meld, which there were. (Breaking In Is Hard To Do [BG])
