Roger Bartholomew

Roger Keith Bartholomew, Jr. (2318-2382) was a human from Maryland, North America on Earth. As an adult, he worked in the pharmaceutical division of the Pulsar Gamma Corporation in the 24th century. Around 2340, he married Elaine. Their sons, Ben and Jason Bartholomew were born in 2341 and 2343.

A member of the environmentalist faction known as the Symmetrists, Roger vehemently opposed Jason's decision to join Starfleet after Ben's disappearance. Once Ben was rescued in 2379, he still voiced his displeasure with both his sons. (PDN: A Stranger No More)

Roger was diagnosed with an aggressive form of Reyerson's disease in 2381, and died in January 2382. Years later, it was revealed that Roger was infected by Orion mercenaries, to silence him before he could reveal his own involvement in a planned Symmetrist bio-terrorist attack (secretly backed by the Tal Shiar).
