Jonathan Taylor Owens was a Starfleet admiral in the late 24th century and father of starship captain Michael T. Owens. (The Star Eagle Adventures) Jonathan had a long and notable career with Starfleet to which he had dedicated most of his life. While he would often sacrifice his family life in order to serve he was still adamant that his oldest son Matthew Owens would follow in his footsteps and become a Starfleet officer. His insistence would ultimately lead his son to distance himself from his family, garnering him great resentment from his younger son Michael later in his life.
