I was designed and built by Doctor Noonien Soong, I'm a sentient android who served as the second officer and chief operations officer aboard the starships USS Enterprise-D and USS Enterprise-E. My positronic robotic brain allows impressive computational capabilities.

I experienced ongoing difficulties during the early years of my life with understanding various aspects of human behavior and I was unable to feel emotion or understand certain human idiosyncrasies, and this inspired me to strive for my own humanity.
