Wheelock was a male Human in the early 22nd century, who was among the passenger aboard the early Earth colony ship SS Mariposa. In 2123, Wheelock was part of an scientific mission to colonize a planet in the Ficus sector. Tragically, the ship crash-landed, killing 289, and leaving Wheelock as one of only five survivors. This small group then turned to cloning in order to propagate. Wheelock became the Progenitor of numerous clones over the following decades, including Cory Wheelock. (SCE eBook: Out of the Cocoon)
