Changes: Richard Bashir

Revision as of 20:48, 7 March 2006

Richard Bashir was married to Amsha Bashir, who, together were the parents of Julian Bashir. Richard was something of a dreamer with large goals that he never seemed to accomplish.

Around 2348, Richard and Amsha, concered about their son's difficulties in school, took young Julian to Adigeon Prime to undergo genetic engineering. The treatment was illegal, but Julian's skills improved greatly afterwards. Julian would not learn what his father had done until 2356 and would not be on friendly terms with his father for several years afterward because of this. (DS9: "Doctor Bashir, I Presume?")

Richard was a former Federation diplomat to Invernia II in 2351. He and Julian were once trapped in a cave with an injured Invernian girl. After the storm passed Richard left to get help while Julian stayed with the girl. Unfortunately they did not return in time and the girl died. (DS9: "Melora")

He was also once a third-class steward on a shuttle run, a position he resigned from after a mere six months.

By 2373, Richard had become involved in landscape architecture, such as designing parks and public spaces mostly. He took pride in doing such projects, because knowing that they would be enjoyed by thousands of people long after he was gone was his legacy, his gift to succeeding generations.

That year, Richard and Amsha were invited to Deep Space 9 by Doctor Lewis Zimmerman, who was judging their son's suitability as a template for the Long-term Medical Hologram. While there, they unwittingly revealed their son's genetic enhancements to Zimmerman, who in turn would report his findings to Starfleet. Richard initially intended to fight the matter in court but later made a deal with Admiral Bennett. In exchange for allowing Julian to remain in Starfleet, Richard pled guilty to charges of illegal genetic engineering of his son and was sentenced to two years in a minimum security penal colony in New Zealand. He predicted he'd certainly have time to work on his architecture designs there. (DS9: "Doctor Bashir, I Presume?")

Richard Bashir was played by actor Brian George. Richard was presumably released by mid-2375, though neither he, nor his wife were ever mentioned in any subsequent episodes.
