Kes
Species: female Ocampa
Rank: none
Date of birth: 2370
Place of birth: Ocampa
Parents: Benaren (father, deceased), Martis (mother)
Marital status: unknown
Native of the planet Ocampa who left her homeworld in 2371 to join the crew of Voyager (VOY: "Caretaker"). Kes was born in 2370 (VOY: "Twisted"). Her father's name was Benaren. She had an uncle name Elrem (VOY: "Dreadnought"). Kes's mother was a women named Martis (VOY: "Before and After"). Kes remembered her father as a wise man who did much to shape the person she became. Benaren died in 2371, when Kes was one year old (VOY: "Resolutions").
Kes who was both inquisitive and inelegant, escaped her people's underground city in a quest to learn about her world. On the surface she was captured and abused by the Kazon Ogla until she escaped to the Starship Voyager, aided by Neelix, with whom she was very much in love (VOY: "Caretaker"). Kes broke up with Neelix after two years (VOY: "Darkling"). Kes demonstrated her gratitude and her love for Neelix shortly after Stardate 48532, when she donated one of her lungs to save Neelix's life. Shortly thereafter, she began studying to become a medical assistant under the tutelage of Voyager's Emergency Medical Hologram (VOY: "Phage"). Her quarters on Voyager were located on deck 8 (VOY: "Twisted").
Kes believed there was truth to ancient legends that her people once had extraordinary mental powers. Shortly after joining the Voyager crew, she began to exhibit signs of such powers, including visions of a planet destroyed in another timeline by polaric ion energy (VOY: "Time and Again") and evidence of an eidetic memory (VOY: "Eye of the Needle"). Kes studied Vulcan mind control techniques under Tuvok's direction, on the theory that this would help her develop her natural Ocampa abilities. When under the influence of Tanis she temporarily gained spectacular psychokinetic powers, giving her the ability to influence matter on the molecular level and to direct the flow of life energy (VOY: "Cold Fire"). Kes continually strove to expand her knowledge and skills. She learned to pilot a Federation shuttlecraft under the tutelage of Lieutenant Tom Paris in 2372. Kes was surprised to learn that Paris found her attractive (VOY: "Parturition"). In early 2372, Kes underwent early elogium, during which Neelix and she decided to conceive a child. She later learned that the elogium was a false one and that she might go through the elogium again later in life. Kes decided to wait until then to conceive a child (VOY: "Elogium").
In one possible future, Kes received bio-temporal chamber treatments in 2379, causing her cells to enter a state of bio-temporal flux, sending Kes out of temporal synch. Kes traveled backward in time, experiencing a series of brief visits to various points in her life. In one possible future, she and Tom Paris married and had a daughter, Linnis, in 2375. Linnis later married Harry Kim and the two had a son, Andrew, Kes's Grandson. In this reality, Kes continued to work in sickbay and eventually a Doctor. Kes was eventually restored to temporal normality when she was exposed to a precisely modulated field of antichroniton particles.
In 2373, Tieran of Ilari transferred his neural pattern into Kes's mind and used her body in his unsuccessful bid to take over the Ilari Government (VOY: "Warlord"). In 2374, shortly after being exposed to Species 8472's powerful mind, Kes evolved into a higher form of life and could not exist among the Voyager crew, Kes had to leave and explore her new existence as a higher life form, but before she left gave the crew of Voyager a gift by making their long journey 10 years shorter (VOY: "The Gift").
Kes returned in 2376, visibly aged and bitter about the course her life had taken, and attempted to take revenge on her fellow crew members by going back in time and betraying them to the Vidiians. When this plan failed in the past, Captain Janeway was warned, and she managed to convince old Kes to spare them (VOY: "Fury").
