Classified Service Record:

He was born in Denver Colorado and raised by his parents, Jerry and Terese' Hobson. He was fairly close to both his parents who're both desceased now. He was married to Leiutenant Lisa Hobson who remained on the Sutherland when he was transferred to the U.S.S Ironheart. When the Sutherland was destroyed, she was killed. He took it very hard and almost completely cut himself off from all human contact, staying in his quarters on the Ironheart. The crew--most of whome were good friends with Hobson--covered for him so that he didn't get into any trouble. Bit by bit, he dragged himself out of his self-imposed depression and started trying to get on with his life. He still finds it hard to get too close to anyone, because he is always afraid he'll lose them too.

Personality:
He's quiet and is naturally an intervert. To most people, he seems to project and aire of quiet, unassuming, command. People tend to listen to what he says and take it seriously. He has a quick sense of humor, and always enjoys a good joke. He's not above pulling a practical joke from time-to-time himself, although he usually collaberates with someone else.

Appearance:
He is 5' 4" tall with wavy brown hair that is turning gray at the temples. He is fairly thin, and doesn't need to work out to keep his weight down. He has rich green eyes, lightly tanned skin, and a shy, friendly smile that he rarely shows to anyone but his friends.
He is always polite and friendly to everyone, although he rarely says anymore than is required to anyone but his friends.

Miscellaneous:
At exactly 1800 hours every evening, he goes to the lounge to relax and talk to his friends. He often gets into arguments with the holographic bartender over various matters, although it is always light and friendly arguing. He likes playing racquetball, and velocity. He is very good at the latter. He also enjoys an occasional hand of poker.
