Background:
Being a member of the well represented Machiavelli family, and especially the daughter of a high ranking officer, has made Lucretia Machiavelli a pretty spoiled child. Her mother died when she was young, at the hands of a Tal’shiar officer during an attempt on her father’s life. Since then, as the only child of a single parent, she has become used to getting what she wants, when she wants it, whatever the cost. Only one thing is denied her: The ability to choose her partners!
Naturally, over the years, she has tried her father’s patience with her lovers, having more or less open affairs with numerous high officials and diplomats. After one such affair, she found her self offered a highly coveted place at the Starfleet Intelligence academy in Genoa, Italy. She, of course, took it and ended the affair her father disapproved of so adamantly. On graduation from the Academy, she was assigned to the Federation Embassy in the Klingon Capital. Her father thought that she would abstain from relationships with Klingons, and possibly do an adequate job. It was a pleasant surprise to him when she really took her new position with great enthusiasm and skill. Obtaining the first draft of the Klingon Attack Force composition for the Cardassian Campaign got her the Intelligence Star. In acquiring the plans, however, she almost paid the ultimate price when she was severely injured by Klingon Disrupters. The intervention of her father saved her life, and she returned to duty after a period of recuperation. The scars are still visible, to those who have clearance to look.
It is obvious to most that Lucretia’s career has been blessed by the hand of her father, as she rose swiftly through the ranks and was given some of the most desirable assignments available. However, she is very strong-willed and has still managed to forge a name for herself, despite her father’s interference. Her natural affinity for information gathering and intelligence operations has never been more evident than in the latter part of her career. Separated from the fleet, she has used her skills to ensure that a Federation presence is maintained in the heart of enemy territory.
Beyond her career, her love for high fashion has ensured that her wardrobe is always full as she refuses to wear the same outfit twice. As her father always foots the bill, she has a talent for not knowing the cost of her lifestyle. She has an impressively eclectic taste in attire and a fabulous sense of style that sees not only numerous combinations of clothing, but also numerous hairstyles. She has also learned to love exotic plants, and always looks out for specimens to add to her collection. Most are extremely rare, and some are considered to be restricted, as they produce various toxins. Where she picks up some of her more dangerous examples, and how she manages to pass them through inspections, is a well kept secret!
Despite a propensity of lovers, Lucretia has never been anywhere close to having a lasting relationship, as deep down, she does not want to anger her father. Unlike her father, she has very cordial relationship with her Uncle, Senator Guiseppe Machiavelli. She is, like all the family, a devout Catholic.
Counsellor’s Notes:
Lucretia is a victim of her upbringing: A spoiled child, pampered by a caring and powerful father, leaves her with many irritating traits. Lucretia has a well developed sense of authority and a respect for the chain of command, but is also independently minded and has plenty ideas of her own. This often leads her to go over her superiors to a higher ranking officer, to make herself heard. Not always an undesirable quality, but it does make her unpopular with middle echelon officers. She has been know to have temper tantrums, when she doesn’t get her way, but is generally easy going, a good friend, and easily associates with any group of people. She is a shrewd judge of character.
