Lattrel Ottel was a Bolian and representative of the Smuggler's Coalition under the guise of a bartender in 2752. As a result, he owned the Double~Helix at Starbase 001. As part of the Smuggler's Coalition, he was a member of the Trusted Circle as well as the fifth generation elected member of the Coalition's Council. (Star Trek: 001)
History[]
Sometime in the early 28th century, Ottel grew up, received his education and training on the Smuggler's Coalition base Mhoob in the Nol sector. There, he mastered the art of smuggling alongside his uncle Lattrel Omma and grandfather Lattrel Telli. It is also where he met the love of his life, Shani.
On Ottel's grandfather Telli's deathbed, Ottel's uncle Omma reassured he and his cousin Glott, "There will always be time for tears."
In 2746, Ottel was elected as a member of the Trusted Circle, which meant he would be fairly restricted to the Nol sector in this role. While on vacation near Betazed, on the Tilibos, he promised his love Shani that he would visit her often. ("When It Rains...")
In 2752, as part of an unofficial alliance with the Smuggler's Coalition, Drayson Hardgrove arranged to have Ottel in an unassumed position as bar owner for the Double~Helix aboard Starbase 001. There, Ottel would act as a communication and information exchange go-between for both the Coalition and Starfleet Intelligence, with Mkrdij covertly delivering information to Ottel from the Coalition on scheduled visits.
When Starbase 001 was knocked into an alien subspace realm, Ottel kept the Double~Helix open despite a malfunction that Zeta was experiencing, causing Zeta to spin metallic webs all over The Deck. ("Alone")
After returning to normal space, Hardgrove passed an information chip to Ottel, detailing an update of Bajor joining the Federation. In exchange, Hardgrove asked Ottel for possible information on Alliance activities in the Gamma Quadrant which Ottel surmised the Coalition Intelligence Network could very easily do. ("Alone", "When It Rains...")
When Mkrdij arrived before his appointed time, he relayed the loss of Ottel's uncle, Omma, at Betazed when the Alliance invaded and that, as a result, Ottel and his cousin Glott were now candidates for Coalition member succession. Drayson later asked Ottel to ready Coalition ships for battle with the Alliance. Returning to Mhoob, Ottel was defaulted Coalition council member status when his cousin dropped from the running.
After rescuing Mkrdij from the results of a seemingly Cardassian ship attack, in Sector Meck, Ottel recruited the help of Hardgrove at Starbase 001 to support Mkrdij with medical assistance. Mkrdij was later placed safely in Ottel's quarters.
Ottel later visited Père Lachaise Cemetery in Paris, France on Earth, where, after passing the grave for James Douglas Morrison, he visited the grave for his parents Lattrel Ossa and Marie Cuvier. ("When It Rains...")
Family[]
The name Lattrel is quite known among the Smuggler's Coalition. From the founding days of the Coalition, the family has played an intricate part in its actions and decisions. Ottel's own grandfather, Lattrel Telli, was perhaps one of the most prominent figures to carry the family name. He also started a number of legitimate businesses, initially on the Bolian homeworld, later expanding throughout the quadrant. Their most noted businesses were travel and tourism agencies in Risa and Betazed. Betazed also became the favorite spot for the family to spend their vacations.
It is on one of these vacations, that Telli's younger son, Lattrel Ossa (Ottel's father) met an off duty Starfleet officer, by the name of Marie Cuvier. The two became romantically involved, and soon enough their love made them consider marriage. This was not met well by the Lattrel family, who saw the marriage with a Starfleet officer as a threat to the security and secrecy of their business. Ossa had to make a decision: Leave Marie and stay with the family, or leave the family and get married. He chose the latter one. After a short while, Ossa decided to join Starfleet as a non-warrant officer. Upon completion of his training, Marie was able to manage a position for Ossa aboard the same ship she served on, a science vessel, the USS Boas-Mead.
A year after their marriage, the couple had a child, Ottel. During a rescue mission on a planet, the away team, containing Ottel's parents, was attacked by Alliance troops. Telli and another member of the away team were killed on the planet. Marie herself sustained a major injury, and shortly after being transported back to the ship, she died too. The Boas-Mead barely made it out of the region without being destroyed. Only one year old, Ottel was an orphan. He was adopted by his maternal grandmother, Eloise, who later decided to give Ottel to his father's family, since as a single old woman, she could hardly take care of him. Ottel's life as a smuggler would begin.
