Paolo Garcia
Midshipman Third Class Paolo Manuel Garcia
Paolo grew up at Hestia Orphanage in Aeolus City, on Sisyphus Prime.
Through his early to mid-adolescence he was a bully, but a traumatic incident in 2952 made him change his ways. He enrolled in the Space Fleet Academy, became the spokesman of the Academy Anti-Bullying Campaign and turned his energy over to making bad jokes, and annoy people instead.

History
Paolo was loitering outside Trent's berthing compartment on TCSV Odysseus, with the hopes of getting a one night stand with Trent or one of his identical brothers. Paolo pretended to be swabbing the deck in the corridor there, just so he wouldn't be challenged for loitering, though he hadn't been ordered to swab the deck, and he wasn't on duty.
Paolo was originally in love with Nick Tyler, the orphan boy from whom Trent and all his brothers were cloned. Nick died before Paolo even knew how he felt about him, and when he first encountered a clone of Nick, after Nick's death, he freaked. Later, when he served on Odysseus, as part of his Academy training, Paolo seduced the clones that were serving on that ship, one by one, mostly to bring back the memories of Nick.
Trent's brothers on Odysseus told him that a Midshipman was getting laid by them, one by one, and he was intrigued. He found Paolo attractive, and they made out there in the corridor.
While they were still kissing an alarm went off aboard ship, and the computer ordered: "All hands abandon ship." Paolo and Trent were right next to the escape pods, and Paolo reacted quickly, ushering Trent into the nearest escape pod, climbed in after and launched them, thus saving them both while everyone else died.
After landing on Ogygia, the moon of the planet Calypso, Trent, and Paolo worked together to get out of the situation, and got to know each other better, which led to them falling in love with each other. Trent was a stoic and didn't like showing emotions, so he was frustrated by Paolo's jokes, some of them inappropriate, that risked him cracking up, but he still loved Paolo.
