| Lt. Tom Paris is a troubled young man of the past,
having made a lot of mistakes in his past and having to live up to his family name within
Starfleet. Having been cashiered out of Starfleet, for causing an accident, finding the
Maquis only to be recaptured several days later, Paris was incarcerated at the New
Zealand Penal Colony. Only with Janeway's rescue does his get reprieve and parole and a
field commission to lieutenant in "Caretaker". Paris becomes friend with the
young Harry Kim but had troubled times when the two were wrongly incarcerated on an alien
world, in "The Chute". Paris was always known
as a womanizer, always trying to get the Delany sisters, but during season four's
premiere, he found romance with the Maquis Engineer, B'Elanna Torres, which started with
the episode "Blood Fever" in which B'Elanna
was unable to control her mating urges, thanks to Taurik, a Vulcan undergoing Pon Farr.
