Zachary 'Shades' Falthgood
Before the War

'Shades' is one of my three favorite characters of all time. I created him with the mood of Cochrane Research Facility (The T'Kon station, before she moved to a ship) in mind. He started out simply enough, a real goof-ball with a love of history, an even bigger love of his antique-shades, and a real penchant for making things difficult on people. He was goofy, he was nutty… he was fun to play. He fit -right- in on Cochrane. Then Cochrane became a ship, rather then a research facility based on old technology... and I moved him to the Nimitz for a couple other missions.

He became rather more after the Burial Grounds missions on the Nimitz (See The Sevant Murders). Suddenly, there was more then a reason he was so goofy, and that his history was so twisted. He became a former enemy agent, before Doenitz –was- the enemy. That mission, Burial Grounds, forced me to write dozens upon dozens of pages of back history for him, stuff that mostly has never seen the light of day except in dribs and drabs as the Civil War continues. A lot of that history will remain locked away in one of my folders, a lot of it coming to light would ruin half the plotlines I’ve got created fleet-wide.. so I’ll fully update him as I go.

As usual, watch for authors notes. I have this… feeling… that there will be many on Zach. *chuckles*

General Notes[edit]

That Zach is eccentric doesn't really need to be said. When he is in his element, thinking hard, he will pull a 'Stevie Wonder' and swing his head back and forth with his eyes closed while singing (off tune and badly). He always wears a pair of sunglasses, though most of his CO's have learned to give him at least that as lee-way, as he seems to think better with them on. The only time he will take them off is if he is engaged in delicate experiments where his head needs to be free of distraction. Most of this is a persona, of course, but its one he's grown into well since leaving Reverse Technologies.

His entire official Starfleet transcript has been highly edited, with some things being made up entirely and others being cut out in the interest of Federation Security.

He lost his Son and Wife in the line of duty.

He left Reverse Technologies at great personal sacrifice, and has since been watched very carefull by agents of Admiral Doenitz.
