Characteristics & Observations
Like many Trill, Lytus is often docile and pleasant in demeanor. When not engaged in conversation he can often appear pensive or solemn. He is subject to vivid day dreams when not on duty. Also, to any non-Trill his markings are very noticeable. Characteristic to his species, spots run in narrow strips on either side of his body from head to toe.

Biographical History
Lytus was the third child born to Jenarr and Ozla Syrrin, in the planet capital of Trill, Leran Manev, on November 14th 2236. His early childhood was ideal until 2240 when a vessel of the Trill Private Service surveying a distant star system, carrying a crew of 223, including his father Jenarr, mysteriously vanished. The Trillian government subsequently issued a statement declaring the star system restricted. Lytus seldom saw his mother, Olza, and older brother, Bethet, due to their heavy political involvement. He did, however, become very close with his sister, A'sa, a musical prodigy. Early in his academic career it was apparent that he was very gifted in the fields of sciences and mathematics.

In an unexpected turn of events on May 3rd, 2253 the missing vessel carrying Jenarr reappeared. It was later revealed that the Trill Private Service was surveying temporal anomalies in the area the vessel went missing. Lytus' father and his crew mates had experienced aproximately 3 hours while the rest of Trill had experienced 13 years. Needless to say this put an enormous strain on the Syrrin family. Lytus still remains estranged to his father to this day.

2250-55: Trill Ministry of Science
Due to the fact that Lytus showed a great amount of talent in mathematics and science at an early age as well as being very mature and well behaved, even by Trill standards, he was granted early admittance into the prestigious Trill Ministry of Science at the age of 14. During his time studying he was able to flourish in the competitive environment and eventually earned honors in multiple fields. However, he indicated a preference for engineering and it was usually the field that he did his best work in.

2255-56: Trill Private Service, Research Division
Upon graduation Lytus was commissioned by the Trill Private Service to aid in research with experimental propulsion systems. After only a year he began to find his work monotonous and unfulfilling. As a result he volunteered as a candidate to be sent to Starfleet, in a joint effort by the Trillian government and the United Federation of Planets to gain gradual exposure and understanding to each other's cultures. Lytus received full support of his mother, who campaigned to improve relations with extraplanetary races. Lytus was accepted into the program, with the stipulation that hey may not discuss certain aspects of his research and must not under any condition reveal or acknowledge the existence of the Symbionts.

2256-58: Starfleet Academy, Engineering College
Lytus was one of the first Trills to receive formal training at Starfleet Academy. He had little difficulty becoming accustomed with the design of Federation starships, since Trillian crafts were of similar capabilities and based on the same fundamentals. His time at the academy was also an important learning experience in the cultures of the races belonging to the United Federation of Planets. Upon becoming acquainted with Starfleet protocol, due to his prior experience with the Trill Private Service, Lytus was accelerated to the rank of Lieutenant Junior Grade. Soon after he was admitted to the Lexington, holding the position of Chief Engineer.
