Background: raised in an upperclass American family. His father was a filosofy teacher at Harvard University, now retired.  His mother is a homemaker. He gets very well along with his parents and sister, who now works at Starfleet  HQ at Personell and has the rank of lieutenant. Robbie, as his parents call him, was an average student with  a 'slight' temper. He hated almost everything and everyone. Later this attitude changed to the better. He  attended Starfleet Academy from 2356-2360. It was at the Academy that his talents became to surface. One of his old professors said he was "born to lead". He then became a tactical officer on the U.S.S. Winsor. That's where he met Chris Carswell, with whom he became good friends. Carswell is now the captain of the  U.S.S. Pathfinder.
It was at the Academy that his talents became to surface. After an heroic attempt to save his  colleages on an away mission wich was successfull, his captain was so impressed that he promoted him to  lieutenant (jg). He remained on the Winsor for another year untill he got tranfered to the U.S.S. Rally where got  himself promoted to lieutenant after 7 months. Three years later he got transvered to the U.S.S. Seine where he  became chief of security and was promoted to lieutenant-commander. The Seine was destroyed in a battle against   the Romulans in 2368. In 2369 he was assigned to the U.S.S. Europe as the First Officer, after  doing  some re-scholing. The captain of the Europe Benjamin Anderson was very pleased  with Castle, although  troubled by  his temper.  The captain once found Castle beating up a crewman in the   messhall for 'being insubordenant and rude to  a lady'.
When captain Anderson became ill Castle had to take  command of the ship after the ship's doctor declared the captain unfit for command. The ship was returned to Earth in 2370, where the ship was assigned a new crew. Castle was promoted to captain, but didn't get command over the Europe, because it was a science vessel,   but Castle definitely not a scientist. He spent 6 months back home untill he was assigned as captain of a brand   new ship called DeRuyter. some time later, Carswell was assigned the U.S.S. Pathfinder, a Sovereign-class vessal.
The U.S.S. DeRuyter was launched March 17 2372, two days after his 36th birthday. His first mission: seek out and apprehend  Maquis-terrorists.
Hobbies:       reading about WWII airwars (he has a dog named 'Spitfire'), listening to 20th century style Rock 'n' Roll,
                    blowing up things (really!) and practicing old Earth swordfighting.
