Biography

Tarl was born in a small town in central North Carolina in the old United States of America. After his father disappeared when he was 6, Tarl's mother fostered his academic education and his love of sports. After graduation from North Carolina State University with a Master's Degree in Computer Engineering, Tarl joined the United States Marines as an officer in their new electronic warfare division. Tarl excelled at being a Marine. He loved both the physical workout and the mental challenge he got from defending his country from electronic threats. One day while on leave, Tarl was hiking in the Blue Ridge Mountains of his home state of North Carolina when he stumbled across a small package on his trail. After carefully investigating the package he opened it to find it was intended for him. Inside this package was a ring and letter from his missing father. The letter explained to Tarl that his father was actually from another planet, a world his father called Counter-Earth or Gor in the planet's native language. The letter went on to explain that he had left Tarl's mother on Earth to raise him in order to protect him from the harshness of Gor. But now the time had come when he had to call upon his son's help to defend his city from invaders. Tarl went to sleep that night with many questions in his mind, and was surprised to awaken to see his father's face leaning over him. While Tarl will only tell bits and pieces of his time on Gor, he does mention that he returned to Earth a few times over his period of time on Gor to leave manuscripts with an old friend to have them published as novels. During the later part of his time on Gor he simply says that his friends the Priest-Kings would transport the manuals back to Earth for him. Offical records show that Tarl Karu was reported AWOL from the US Marines and was declared legally dead on January 1st, 2012. Tarl spent over 350 years on Gor establishing his reputation under several assumed names and eventually returned to the Priest-Kings to ask them to return him to Earth as he had grown bored with life on Gor. Having served their plans for protection of the World of Gor faithfully, the Priest Kings did return Tarl to Earth, an Earth he had never seen before.

The Earth had been through a violent time, a third world war, the eugenics war, and then the discovery of life on other planets. Tarl found it fascinating that with all the higher evolved species that had visited Earth, none of them had ever discovered the Counter Earth, he figured this was due to the protections the Priest-Kings had laced around the planet to protect it from invaders after the defeat of the Kur. Tarl created a new identity for himself and enrolled in the United Federation Starfleet Academy. Once again his love for academics propelled him through his class, catching the eye of a few of his professors. When Tarl graduated he joined the Corps of Engineers where he went to work on building systems for new starships. Still taking a few academy courses when his schedule would allow, he found the classes from the United Federation Starfleet's Marine Corps exceptionally interesting. This was a part of Starfleet that fought to restore the Honor and principles of his old United States Marine Corps. Tarl requested a transfer to the Marine Corps and it was granted. Now Tarl serves the Marine Corps with Pride as the Commanding Officer, Training and Doctrine Command where he uses his knowledge of the "old ways" to hone and shape the Marines into the best fighting force in the Universe.
