| Chakotay is the first officer on board Voyager, a Native
American and a former Maquis officer. When his Maquis raider is destroyed in the Delta
Quadrant, he is forced to joined Starfleet's newest ship, Voyager and become
first-officer, as Voyager's assigned XO gets killed. As a Native American, Chakotay
honors its traditions and traits, as such carries his medicinal bundle to meditate in
needs of trouble, as first seen in "The
Cloud". He also has an animal guide to help him. We also witnessed his solitary
Pokra ceremony, commemorating his father's death in "Initiations". We also witnessed the history
of his tattoo that he wears in the episode appropriately named "Tattoo". Chakotay is a very honorable man, who cares
about honor and traditions, and recently honors the brave Captain Kathryn Janeway.
