History/Background/Education
The Chrym Symbiont is not the most exemplary of Trill Symbionts, and were it not for its shrewdness and cunning, it would not have survived the death of its second host. Chrym's manipulative and somewhat mean-spirited personality have often brought it and its host near the fringes of law and regulation. One of the notable incidents in which Chrym was involved was a conflict with the host of the Tiho Symbiont.
Its 6th host, Nycho Chrym, was a Starfleet Intelligence Officer. Preferring ruthless methods often in direct violation of protocols, he acquired priceless information on the Borg and their transwarp network. Justifying the end with the means, he traded the whereabouts of the Stafleet vessel he was serving on with the Borg in return for the information they needed, sending the crew to assimilation and escaping just in time. After his return, he was court-martialled for this when Starfleet eventually found out, and dishonourably discharged from service. Incarcerated on the Trill homeworld, with the Symbiont condemned to die with its 6th host, that would have been the end of Chrym.
But when trouble with a resurgent Borg Collective arose a few years before the Orion's departure, in addition to the plans for a new mission into the Delta Quadrant, Starfleet realised they needed Chrym's information. Being asked to redeem a condemned Symbiont, the Trill authorities attempted what they would never have even contemplated before: try to join Chrym to a Trill with an exemplary strong peaceful personality.
That Trill was Syell. 21 years old upon being Joined to Chrym, he was selected because of his calm and serenity, and rigorously trained so as to prevent new incidents. They explained everything to him: how they hoped his personality would temper Chrym, and how desparate a measure their Joining really was. Syell, selflessly wishing to do good, accepted and, upon the death of Nycho, was Joined to the Symbiont.
Entering Starfleet Academy in command class, Syell Chrym was involved in several incidents as he struggled to maintain his composure, getting him reprimanded several times. When the time came to serve a field training assignment, he was assigned to the Orion with all intention of learning from the mission.
It does not need to be super long or very complex.
Personality Profile:
As a Joined Trill, Syell Chrym is a fusion of two personalities: Syell the host and Chrym, the Symbiont. There is a huge divergence in personality between the two. While Syell's personality is serene, compassionate and sensitive, Chrym is manipulative and ofttimes mean-spirited. This leads to stress on the host's behalf in particular as he has to learn to live with and control the impulses and memories of his Symbiont.
Syell is an exemplary Starfleet Officer. Calm, serene and compassionate, he cares deeply for other people, and would not hurt a fly. Those qualities also make him well-suited for Command duty, which he currently works in. The fact that Chrym's feelings and memories are his scares him. Syell is an angel; but he is struggling with the "demon" inside him.

Syell was coming on board the Orion for the first time, and he was brimming with anticipation as every Starfleet Cadet would for his first field training. Inside his mind, not exactly distinct but clearly recognisable, he could feel the impulse of Chrym, too: dark and calculating. His symbiont - he - was experiencing the memory of a Trill called Tiho, long ago. He could feel the situation, the anger, the pain. I have to make it stop, he thought. Before I meet the rest of the crew, least of all Captain Tiho.
"Captain Tiho sounds like a great officer," said his fellow cadet opposite him. Syell felt himself clench his fists at the mention of the name. "I agree," he said. The words came out uninspired, even though he meant them word for word. Or did he? He was Chrym, their thoughts were one, their memories, their emotions.
And yet, he knew how Chrym had condemned an entire Starfleet crew to assimilation. He remembered it even without hearing the story from the Guardian. He believed the actions were justified, yet he did not want to. Concentrate and be strong, he told himself, recalling the lessons he took to strengthen his mental strength. You won't become him. He'll become you. That was his personal mission: for his serenity and calm to rub off on Chrym.
Syell relaxed. "I can't wait to get there," he said.
