Ambler Furry is a legendary Marine Officer who has served on many Sixth Fleet vessels and bases. Currently he is the Special Operations Commander of SWORD-7.
[edit] BACKGROUND
Upon joining Starfleet as an enlisted man Ambler Furry was described as a menace and a disgrace to the uniform, an opinion highly thought of by Commander Jaxx (who had started off as his head of department while in Tactical and then Command when both switched to Quartermaster and First Officer respectively) and would have been kicked out of Starfleet if it weren't for Chief James 'Keeper' Dalton, the Chief of the Boat, whom more or less kicked some sense into Furry.
As a result Ambler Furry has a strong Code of ethics and practice that he sticks to like glue. He also has this tendency of taking junior officers and crewmen under his wing, thus installing a bit of his Code into them.
Then he met Lieutenant (jg) Dara Montgomery, Edison's latest counsellor and the woman who tamed the beast within him. Unsurprisingly, though it did raise a few eyebrows, a romance blossomed between the two and reinforced when Furry rescued her from a downed turbolift.
Recently, and rather quietly, Commander Ambler Furry completed the theoretical side of the Tango Fleet Command School. But, upon hearing that his cousin was killed by Baron Oruk Ku while on assignment for Starfleet Intelligence, Furry took it upon himself to kill Ku in return. This action was executed in conjunction with Starfleet and Cardassian security forces, plus with the assistance of two of Edison's crewmembers.
With that came immediate reassignment, and away from potential rogue operations, as Starfleet Command gave him a second chance by liaising between the emerging colony of Psi Virginis, the Federation Department of Colonisation and Starfleet Command. While there he got his marching orders to serve as acting executive officer of the USS Hyperion-D, where his command style tended to butt heads with certain members of the crew - namely the senior officer commanding the small fighter group contingent.
But it had brought about and reinforced Furry's code of conduct.
None of that however prepared him for the birth of his two children, twin boy and girl; born on January 12, 2381.
Five months into the year 2381, when the USS Edison accidentally ended up transported in time to Earth's World War II era, Commander Furry had unwittingly interacted with Andrej Futrowski - an ancestor, and a leading figure in the Polish Resistance during World War II. It also landed him in a whole heap of trouble, as Temporal Investigations managed to get him demoted once again and reassigned to a less commanding role in 9th Fleet.
Gradually transferring to Ninth Fleet Command, Ambler took over operational command of all tactical fighter formations under Starbase 97's umbrella with a demotion to lieutenant commander and under Commander Drakt's careful gaze. Then the Iron Lotus Incident occurred. While classified after the fact, Furry's involvement and Drakt's ability to dodge had given certain members of Starfleet Command and the Federation Council a scapegoat; and both Ambler and his grandfather were it.
After a battery of investigations and courts of inquiry, Furry lost his rank and was demoted to Lieutenant.
Busted and transferred to the Tokyo on request of Starfleet Intelligence, Furry found the adjustment difficult as he quietly questioned the actions of officers he would have otherwise commanded. But he had allies on Earth, even if much of the Council and Senate of the Federation hated anyone named Furry, and after much politiking by certain members of Starfleet Command and even elements from the intelligence community, Furry's rank of Commander got reinstated with orders to transfer to Starfleet Headquarters as the de facto head of Starfleet Intelligence.
His time in Headquarters had been one of personal growth and maturity, even if it nearly got him killed on a classified assignment with Captain Mekar – the then Chief of Starfleet Strategic Operations. However, that changed with the passing of his grandfather. Admiral Furry had been a potent political force within Headquarters and the Federation Council, and had been his grandson's mentor since childhood. Consequently, Admiral Furry's passing hit Furry hard and he temporarily resigned, and went on a journey of self rediscovery that brought him back to where it all started; Starbase Tango.
From there, he was assigned to the role of tactical commander of all military assets in the New Deridous Colony; where he single handedly restored the colonists' faith in the fleet he so loved, and initiated several building projects before and during his short tenure as colonial administrator.
However, as he finally settled, a new challenge arose with reassignment as Captain of the USS Destiny-C.
No sooner had he taken command, he and his crew ended up embroiled in a last ditch defense of the Federation side of the border with Romulan forces. Forced to retreat with the rest of the defending taskforce, that being the USS Arc Angel and the USS Saturn, to Benzar, Furry was reassigned back to Starfleet Intelligence and take up a position within the Sixth Fleet Marine Corps so as to take command of a commando unit.

[edit] PERSONAL RECORDS
FAMILY DATA:
MARITAL STATUS: Married – Dr. Dara Furry, Counselor
GRANDFATHER: Geoffrey Archer Furry, Rear Admiral - Born 25 Sept 2319, Died 29 Jan 2383. Burial location Arlington Starfleet Cemetery
GRANDMOTHER: Martha Furry, Housewife
IMMEDIATE FAMILY: Considered considerably young compared to her
husband, Dara Furry is a Cherokee native from Earth's North American
region. She joined Starfleet Medical as a counsellor, and ended up
aboard the USS Edison where she befriended its conn chief. But it was
with Ambler Furry, than a lieutenant and the ship's ShutOps Chief,
that her destiny lay and the two married in late-'80. Dara is soft
spoken, caring, and petite compared to her behemoth husband - and his
anchor and moral compass.
The twins, Alexander and Elizabeth, are newborn and adjusting to life
in the 24th century.
PERSONALITY TRAITS
ATTITUDE: Ideally described as a "mountainous behemoth of a man" by
former Security Chief Scott Donnelly, Ambler is a no nonsense typed
individual who's priority is the mission.
PERSONALITY: In the seven years he has been in Starfleet, he has
matured from a troublesome and politically unreliable officer to one
of the finer officers in the fleet. He has the moral philosophy that a
good officer is one who leads by example - and who demanded respect
and that was most easily gained by standing firm with him. Whilst not
really a talent as such, it has been described by psychologists can
sense fear worse than any shark. H can be easily described as an
administrator who recently came out of the closet, as he keeps on top
of all the necessary digital paperwork.
Furry has been described as mission orientated, and known to bend the rules if and when needed, and was famous for being quick tempered if subordinates do not meet their expectations in his eyes.
He enjoys Klingon blood wine and other foods, large open spaces, good management, golf, competence, honesty, and spending time with his wife and children when off-duty.
He dislikes sloppy leadership, pirates, pompous bureaucrats, rogue Starfleet officers (though he has been accused of being one more than once), and those who do not meet up to his standards that resemble theirs.
STRENGTHS: Very strong-willed, capable of decisive violence when
necessary, extremely fit, intelligent and well read.
WEAKNESS: Tact with delicate political situations (though this is
improving with age), nervousness regarding chemical weapon agents.
TALENTS: An excellent shot with all small arms and deadly in
hand-to-hand combat both armed and unarmed. Also a gifted pilot.
LIMITATIONS: His stubbornness can lead to near blindness to
alternatives. However, his time with New Deridous has gradually
changed that. Also has a hard time controlling his temper.
QUIRKS: Ambler Furry tends to be content when using the chain of
command and rank calling. He also tends to take it upon himself to
take subordinates under his wing, a notion started when he had been
taken under the guiding wing of Chief James 'Keeper' Dalton.
HOBBIES: Physical training and weight lifting, military tactics, all
manners of small arms. Concurrently, Furry's primary interest is
spending time with his young family when off duty.
AMBITIONS:Protect and defend his crewmates, countrymen, and
noncombatants, in that order.
LINGUISTIC ABILITIES:
SPEAK: Federation Standard, Polish, Klingon, Romulan, Vulcan
READ: Federation Standard, Polish, Klingon, Romulan, Vulcan
WRITE: Federation Standard, Polish, Romulan, Vulcan
FURRY'S CODE:
1/ Watch your six: This is your weakest spot.
2/ Watch your partner's six: This is his weakest spot and at the end
of the day two are better then one...besides, it works for fighter
pilots... so why shouldn't work for us commando and starship types?
3/ Never leave a man behind!
4/ Shoot first and then let JAG sort it out later.
5/ Never forget: The other guy has a plan, too.
6/ If you think your strategy is foolproof, then you've expanded the
realm of fools by one.
7/ Trust is the ultimate trump card in a good team. If one betrays the
trust then your team has lost it.
8/ It only seems like "collateral damage" if you weren't standing
where the damage occurred.
9/ "Acceptable losses" is, often, a phrase used by those who didn't
lose anyone.
10/ "Friendly fire" leaves you just as dead.
11/ Restraint is for a battle's prelude, and compassion for its
aftermath. During, you must assess with dispassion and strike without let.
12/ History is replete with men who never lost a battle-until the last
one, that is.
13/ Do not glorify or euphemize: At the core, a great wartime general
is an efficient butcher.
14/ If you love battle, there's something wrong with you.
15/ Prepare for endless war; pray for eternal peace.
