Background Information
Ademaro is from Lichtenberg, one of the Twelve Buroughs of the German Capitol of Berlin. He speaks fluent German, as well as English, and is conversationally comptetent in Klingon, Vulcan, Japanese, Italion, and Romulan.

Ademaro's family is a very influencial family in Europe, and has several uncles who are elected officials with the European Union. Many thought Ademaro would go into politics, but instead he decided to become a Starfleet Marine.

Growing up, "Addie" and his older brother Wolfgang "Wolfie" became the big kids on their street, and Addie soon learned to love a good fight. By the time Wolfie and Addie were in their teens, the two each had records for minor crimes, mostly for bullying. By the time Addie left for Starfleet Academy, his brother had become a full-on street thug. Addie decided that that lifestyle wasn't for him, and left for the Academy. When Addie graduated in 2373, his brother was jailed for striking a police officer after a bar fight in downtown Berlin. Wolfie would later enlist to serve with his brother in the Dominion War.

Addie always had a knack for fixing things, but his fighting side got the better of him and he became a Marine rather than an Engineer. Addie did however take engineering classes, and is a very competent damage controlman.
