Editing Paul Casely (section)

==Early Life==

Paul Alexander Casely was born to an academic family in Cornwall, Ontario, Canada. He has one brother. It was always expected that Paul would follow the majority of his family in Academe. Eventually, Paul entered Queens University and studied political diplomacy and military history as specializations. Combining the two, he achieved his masters degrees and was accepted into a doctorate programme. Despite his success, Paul was never satisfied and believed he was working more to please his parents than to create a life for himself. Finally, at 24 years of age, he left university and entered Starfleet Academy.

Immediately, Paul's parents cut him off from the family, more than a little disappointed by his leaving a prestigious academic career for what they considered a frivilious and dangerous military one.
