Born on November Eleventh in the year 2352, the first authorized Trill host of the symbiont Thai seems to lack the extremely broad view of life evinced by most joined Trill members of Starfleet. While not entirely absent in Thai, it is greatly subdued, perhaps due to the fact that this is the symbiont Thai's first joining and first lifetime. The perspective of several lifetimes has yet had time to take its jading effect on the Trill. The perspective, however, of six previous ill-fated hostings has left Thai with a harmlessly unpredicatable and sometimes benignly mishevious streak. Symbiosis in itself has proven to be problematic in his interpersonal and close relationships, it should be noted.
Andrew has a mother and one brother, all still alive by 2379. Although he was much to conservative and orderly a child to follow in his brother's often mischevious footsteps, he was a lover of nature and of the outdoors in general. he was a difficult child to contain. The quiet, shy, introspective young man strived from childhood to qualify for the Trill hosting program, and specifically for the Thai symbiont whom he 'met' during a trip of undisclosed purpose to the birthing pools on the homeworld.
In the year 2373, at the age of 22, Elbrun was scheduled to be joined to the Trill symbiont Thai. However, before that event could take place, The Federation found itself in the throes of war, and Andrew Elbrun's unit was recalled to a different sector.
During the ravages of war, several symbionts were purloined from the pools on Trill. Unfortunately, Thai was one of these. The theft of Thai, among a host of several others was quick, discreet, and left undiscovered until Andrew was sent to join with Thai. To all accounts, the symbiont was on the run, mainly against it's will for nearly a decade. In that time, not only had the symbiont been transferred through several hosts (most joinings too short to take full effect), but has also fathered an undisclosed number of symbionts.
Due to the stressed ranks or Starfleet resultant from the Dominion War, Andrew found himself rocketing up the ranks. Though he functioned admirably following the discovery of the symbiont theft, during this time, it seemed that Andrew had merely been coping with life instead of living it, searching for ways to deal with a life that he did not expect or plan to. This was a common ground for the individuals Andrew Elbrun and Thai, and perhaps later for the joined lifeform Andrew Thai as well.
In 2377, The Thai symbiont was recovered and completed intense joining suitability evaluations until being given a clean bill of health. Subsequently, the two were allowed a time of healing and a time of quiet to prepare for joining, following which, Elbrun returned to his career in Starfleet, failing to report, initially, his joining. The joining was shortly discovered due to countless reports of strange behavior on the officer's part and subsequent medical scans.
Note: Medical scans sometimes intake flux error when in operation on this individual. Reset scan intensity to six point three field seven for clearer results.
