Family & Personal History:
Jonathan grew up in Iceland, in and around one of Earth's largest natural geological power systems. He soon grew fascinated with technology, and not just the smooth curvatures of Starfleet's machines, but also the dirt and grime of metal as it pumped up lava and superheated water. He spent summer leaves as an assistant to the engineers in that area of the island, making sure that the pipes kept running and the whole continent received power and heat.

His parents encouraged him to enter Starfleet Academy up until the point that he reached the age of 16, then he applied, with the background in engineering already taught to him by his father, a former shuttle repair technician for the Luna colony, years before Jonathan was even born.

He was the first one in his family‘s history to join Starfleet, an accomplishments his parents share with everyone, especially his mothera former secretary for the Starfleet News Service, both now retired.

His older brother, Andreas, lives with his family in Madrid, Spain on Earth, where he works as a history teacher in a small private school. Andreas's son, Hilmar Rome, the second generation to join Starfleet was killed in action during a routine teaching assignment. The two brothers do not speak.

Declared MIA and his status unknown on stardate 10901.05 after a skirmish with an unknown alien attacker that threatened to destroy Arcadia Station where Jonathan served as Commanding Officer.

Was recovered months later by the USS Scimitar sitting in a dimensional vessel in Klingon space, after being stranded in an alternate universe. Spent six months on Earth on leave with his family before requesting transfer back on board the USS Scimitar as an Engineering adviser.

Promoted to Captain of the Scimitar after his old friend and commanding officer, Captain Ethan MacAllister, stepped down to take a well deserved leave of absence

After the destruction of the Scimitar, Captain Rome was left in a medically induced coma. As a result of the excellent care of Starfleet Medical he later returned to active service behind a desk at Starfleet HQ.

On the U.S.S Hyperion's maiden voyage, he served as Ambassador until her suffered lethal injuries in battle. Jonathan took command of the vessel and later granted full time command.

Medical History:
10203.21: Psych profile - Starfleet Academy
The cadet was engaged to a young woman in Starfleet Medical during his first two years in the Academy. Shortly before spring break, she was murdered in a conflict between Klingon and Humans in a nearby bar while trying to assist a wounded Klingon. No arrests were made since no witnesses stepped forward. Cadet Rome spent the better part of his final year in therapy against his own wishes. Subject refuses to speak of the matter.

10604.24: Medical log - USS Scimitar - Doctor Abmeraz
Lieutenant Rome was a victim of a transporter accident, where his molecular structure was fused with one Lieutenant Idrani. The accident turned them both into one being with two conscious minds. They have both been returned to their own bodies with no lasting repercussions.

10611.27: Medical log - USS Scimitar - Doctor Numark
Due to a mysterious anomaly that somehow fed off feelings of malice, Lieutenant Rome was pronounced clinically dead as a result of a power spike to the brain stem whilst performing his duties as Chief Engineer. Barely four minutes later his cells regenerated without any outside interference and brought him back to life.

10612.11: Medical log - USS Scimitar - Doctor Numark
Lieutenant Rome died from severe radiation burns and poisoning while manually disengaging a plasma injector to stop the warp core from over-heating. However still being affected by the anomaly that took control of the ship, he came back to life, albeit three standard hours later. His condition critical but stable. His eyesight is lost, most of his body covered in 3rd degree burns and his face will require intensive reconstruction. His hair will return over time and his internal organs are recovering nicely. The lieutenant will most likely require a wheelchair to move about for the first few months, but the prognoses are encouraging.

10702.19: Medical log - Arcadia Station - Doctor Zeller
Lieutenant Commander Rome has regained full use of his legs and his respiratory system has healed completely, with the help of neural stimulators. His hair and facial hair have begun growing back and the tissue damage to his body and face are healed enough to attempt a reconstruction.

10709.09: Medical log - Arcadia Station - Doctor Jakiel
Commander Rome has recovered fully from his radiation exposure, the latest plastic surgery sessions have gone perfectly and his cellular growth is back to normal. I would like him to attend follow up sessions, but so far everything looks good.

11309.23: Medical log - USS Scimitar - Doctor Lee
Captain Rome underwent exploratory surgery to understand what device afflicted his mind, but has been left comatose as a result. We hope that one day his synaptic response will heal enough for him to wake up again. What we discovered in his head has been sent with Doctor York to Earth to ascertain its purpose.

11401.16: Medical Log – Starfleet Medical – Doctor Lee
The Captain has woken up from his coma. The Captain‘s condition is stable, but he will require intensive motor rehabilitation before I sign off on his return to duty.
