LT. THOMAS EUGENE PARIS

Lt. Thomas Eugene Paris

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.
