Riven was born to the Temple of Allura on Betazed, of one of the Priestesses. Not much is known about his family, or his father, other than his father was one of the Priests. He was raised in the Temple, then when his incredible mental powers were made known, he was transferred to the Clinic of Allura in Hel'lia. There he excelled, working his way up through the ranks until he became the Director of the Clinic. He has one child, a young girl named Sinchia, who lives with her mother in the Capital City. Riven thinks of the students in his clinic as his children, and since the young girl he sired doesn't carry his formidable mental abilities, doesn't have much contact with her or her mother.

Education

Riven spent his childhood in the Temple of Allura, then the rest of his life in the Clinic that gave him a purpose, an education and a life. He doesn't hold a degree, but his experience alone with the variety of badness that can fall upon one that is telepathic is legendary among the circles of mind-healers. His entire purpose in life is to heal those hurt, and to teach new people how to do so.

Medical History

Riven is incredibly fit for his age, and very...vivid. He has learned the trick of walking into a room and having almost every eye drawn to him, if only for a second.

Skills

He's the most experienced mind-healer on Betazed. That being said, he is not a super-hero, and he can not fix everything. He's learned that everything comes with a price, and gives unselfishly to heal those around him, and like all mind-healers can get lost. He generally works with another telepath to ground him, and since he has grown older, his Order has limited the clients that he works with by putting him in an administrative capacity.
