History
Lance was born in California on Earth in 2322. He joined Starfleet Academy when he was 18 and made quite the name for himself. Section 31 recruited him early on for surveillance. His first posting was of their choosing and a minor but long term posting. As a young Lt. Commander he was forced into a more covert lifestyle when a tragic accident caused him an incredible amount of damage to his body and even parts of his brain. Section 31 repaired the damage using cybernetics throughout his body.
Section 31 listed him as dead officially and he was put primarily on wet-work. Assassinations, covert operations that the main of Starfleet would never approve of. During this time, he grained the trust and raised to the rank of Captain when he was given his own team. With this time, Section 31 used a slingshot method to accomplish time travel. When doing this they enabled basic temporal shielding around their ship for the project. The project was supposed to be for covert research, but Thomas thought something was up for sure - it just didn't feel right.
Everything started to change for the newly formed team. The scientists reported that the main computer libraries were requiring too many updates, and updates for established historical events. After doing a lot of off-the-books research, it was discovered that events being observed by the team were being altered by another force. Not only that, but evidence suggested that other events were being altered, then changed back. The only conclusion was two opposing forces were fighting to control past events. They were ordered off the project when Thomas started to ask questions.
This turn of events eventually lead to a good portion of the team going AWOL, culminating when Section 31 admitted to starting a temporal conflict, altering events from the past for covert benefit of Section 31 interest. The conflict arose from a reportedly unknown force opposing some of the Section 31 alterations - but not all. It is still unknown exactly what Thomas said or did to Section 31 to both secure their temporal operations and allow the team to go AWOL without repercussions.
The team went AWOL and formed what would eventually become Solas Tempus.
In this new team he became deeply involved with his subordinate, Candy Poole who was, at the time, a Commander he promoted her to Captain and gave himself the title of Admiral. Upon forming Solas Tempus their involvement became very serious. Tensions formed, however, when the two were at odds with how to organize the growing group they had just formed. When it grew large enough, Lance finally relinquished ultimate control over the group and remained leader of its temporal action arm, Blue Team. Candy herself became the organizations overall leader outranking him as Fleet Admiral.
Equipment Notes
He occasionally carries a pirate saber with him, when appropriate since obtaining the sword on a mission to the distant Earth past aboard a pirate ship. He has always liked it and decided to keep it and thus has made it part of his dress uniform, tough he is the only officer who uses it to his knowledge.
In another mission to the American West on Earth he was required to obtain a bullwhip from a local merchant, the whip is of high quality and he brought it back with him. It usually sits in his quarters as a decorative piece, but occasionally sees use for various purposes.
Similarly he obtained a flintlock in a dual aboard a British naval vessel when contesting for command of the vessel trying to avoid a catastrophe that would have sent ripples of alterations through the timeline.
Along with these historical items he also carries with him a Solar Crystal bound to him and set in his Starfleet Academy class ring. It is a deep flawless sapphire blue.
