Timothy was a young Human male, alive during the late-24th century. He was the child of two crewmembers of the starship SS Vico. His father was the ship's second officer and his mother, the ship's systems engineer. He later became friends with Lieutenant Commander Data, who had saved him, and tried to emulate the android. He blamed himself for the death of his parents and he believed that by becoming like Data, he would be able to rid himself of his emotion of guilt. With Data's help, Timothy was able to adjust to his new life. (TNG: "Hero Worship" )
