Cindy and Torin worked very very hard to provide for their family despite the harsh quality of life Terrans faced in the Alliance. They did everything they could to ensure their children had access to education that would make them more useful and give them access to better jobs. When Trav showed an early aptitude for engineering, they did everything they could to get him tools, books, and even apprenticeships that would send him down that career path.

He did well by keeping his head down, giving a hand to anyone who could use it in any way he could without putting his own neck on the line. He was considered a valuable asset to the Alliance and was placed on Terok Nor fairly high in the Terran engineer ranks. When the rebellion sparked, he tried to just keep his head down at first and watch how it went, but when the rebellion moved to take over Terok Nor and move it to the mouth of the worm hole, he couldn't do that anymore. He had to choose a side.

The Terran rebels had learned of the location of the worm hole from visitors from another universe, and when they arrived on the station intending to seize the station and stake a claim to it, Trav picked up pretty fast that they were planning something big. Instead of bringing it to his superiors, he got himself in with the group to find out what they were doing and in the end, helped them achieve their goal. He was made the assistant chief engineer on the station once it was firmly under Terran control, and he stayed there for a while. As the rebellion slowly turned into a more stable government, and discussions started about pushing through the wormhole, Terok Nor was given more and more Terran resources to protect it from Bajor as the Alliance would make efforts from time to time to attempt to take it back.

When a group of three Starfleet officers from the prime universe unexpectedly showed up in the early 2380s, Trav found himself fascinated with one in particular — a red-headed Klingon-Trill woman by the name of Diziara. When he found out that he was the double of her dead lover, it only increased his fascination with her that much more. After helping her return home in the end, he left Terok Nor for a time in an attempt to track down her counter part in his universe, only to return reluctantly to Terok Nor without luck, but having picked up useful intel along the way. His intelligence gathering wasn't enough to spare him from the wrath of the chief engineer, and in the end he decided to go visit Diziara in her universe.

He was followed through by a Vulcan named Storvik — unlike Trav who'd only planned to visit, Storvik had no intention of going home. With Diziara's help, Trav was able to locate his Storvik and the two of them returned to their universe. Trav decided his time at Terok Nor was done, and instead started to wander. His reputation eventually got him attention from people within the Defenders of Earth—not to mention his fluency in Klingon, Cardassian and Bajoran—and he was recruited by them for reconnaissance and resource gathering by 2389.

Trav is tall and lanky with blue eyes, and it constantly amazes people how he manages to fold himself down into the small space of service shafts and all the weird little corners that an Engineer needs to. He keeps his white hair pretty short, though it lets it go just a little long at the top where he lets it do whatever it wants.
