Mark was born on March 20, 2345 to parents Jack and Maria Anderson. He was the elder of his twin brother, Simon. The two brothers spent much of their childhood living aboard the SS Kaligula, a Federation science vessel operating on behalf of the Daystrom Institute. As the only children aboard, the twins developed a close bond with each other. Playmates, co-conspirators, and confidantes, Mark and Simon not only managed to get into much mischief, but they also learned quite a few things from their parents and the other scientists aboard.

The Kaligula would spend years researching a specific project, then abruptly shift to another assignment. It was these abrupt shifts that always interested Mark. He loved to sit on the bridge and watch the crew at work. By the time he was ten, Mark knew each position and their duties by heart. He had started to memorize the different control stations and their functions. From his parents point of view, he seemed to be headed for a career in Starfleet.

If that was the case, then his brother would likely be going too. The siblings were nigh inseparable. With their parents often buried in mounds of data and statistics, the two had taken to watching out for each other. As the eldest, Mark felt a certain responsibility to Simon. That wasn’t to say they didn’t fight. In fact, on one occasion, the brothers got into such an argument that they didn’t speak to each other for three days. Every time one of them would enter a room, the other would leave. The crew thought the two would never speak again, but they did.

Lieutenant Commander Kejal Buris is a Starfleet officer currently serving as the Commanding Officer of the USS Dauntless.

Buris' very early history is unknown, to him and to everyone around him. The earliest that is known is that he was found as an orphan outside a work camp in early 2346, and adopted by two members of the Resistance (and their cell) - given the only appropriate family name they could think of, Kejal, meaning "freedom" in the Bajoran language. He was never a happy child, always understanding that he was the outsider, but this was his family nonetheless. They taught him, they clothed him, they fed him. And most of all, they trained him. His parents died in a raid on a Cardassian food supply convoy when he was 13, and it was then that he officially joined the front line of the Resistance. Two years of direct conflict with the Cardassians as the smallest member of the cell, the one used for both infiltration and repairs, made him aware of just what war really was. When the Cardassians left Bajor, he was too young to join the Militia, but he was old beyond his years, so school wasn't an option. He flitted between the last vestige of the Resistance, the Maquis, and even for a month, the Circle. But he left when he was old enough to do so, and applied to Starfleet Academy on Earth, inspired by the stories of Ro Laren and Sito Jaxa, which had filtered all the way back to Bajor.
