Personal History: Born to Evita and Alden Knight on the colony of Aquaria, Ethan grew up in a scholarly setting. Both his parents were grade school professors. By the age of ten, his parents had managed to get him accepted to a private boarding school known as The Athenic School of Aquaria, one of twelve prestigious private boarding schools. He spent a large part of his teenage years.
The time they spent away from one another caused somewhat of a rift in the family as his fathers military background required Ethan to be perfect in everything he did. He never missed an opportunity to ridicule his son in a perverted way of getting him to perform better in school so he wouldn't "end up just like his old man." His mother could only standby idly as her husband slowly tore their small family apart.
Upon his graduation from the boarding school, the situation between Ethan and his father got so bad that they refused to speak to one another. His father even refused to attend the graduation ceremony. Soon after his graduation, Ethan did the one thing that he knew would set his father off, just to spite him. He joined the Colonial Fleet.
They say that the whole neighborhood could hear the argument at the Knight residence.
While stationed aboard the Battlestar Pegasus, he became close with his wingman, the then Lieutenant Samantha "Edge" Rhodes. The rumor mill was often working overtime around them with claims that they were in a relationship together. After being partners for nearly 4 years, Rhodes suddenly left the Colonial Fleet with at the rank of Captain.
Word has it that she gave birth to a beautiful baby girl not too long afterward.
