Okay following Dave's example on Garak, I'll do a "brief" look at Julian's history.

Dr. Julian Subatoi Bashir, son to Richard and Amsha Bashir. Julian recalls that the reason he decided to become a Doctor was an ionic storm on Ivernia II. Julian was ten when he and his father were lost in the storm and came across a dying young girl. Though his father went for medical help, it was too late. The girl died in front of his eyes. Later Julian learned that a common herb growing nearby could have saved her
life. However his medical tendencies probably stretch even further back than this. At five, his first 'patient' was a teddy bear called Kukalaka. Julian said he was
determined to keep the bear in one piece because "I wouldn't be much of a doctor if I have up on a patient."

At Starfleet Medical Julian was always a good student but he kept diaries revealing his fear of failure, his drive to graduate at the top and to have a successful career in Starfleet.

He graduated second to Dr. Elizabeth Lens. This is because he made a mistake on his final paper. He mistook a preganglionic fibre for a postganglionic nerve. We later find that this was deliberate so not really a mistake.

Julian fell in love with a ballerina, Palis Delone, while in Paris. They were engaged to marry and her father, who headed a local hospital, had offered him a chance to become chief of surgery within five years. Julian turned him down because he had wanted to join Starfleet. This ended his relationship with Palis and her family.

Julian decided to work on DS9 because he's always been interested in "frontier medicine." He also thought that DS9 was "a place where heroes are made!"

After only three years, his groundbreaking work in biomolecular replication wins him a nomination for the Carrington Award. At 30, Julian is the youngest person ever nominated for the award, which is normally used to acknowledge a lifetime of achievement.

By 2373, Julian is so widely reputed that Starfleet Medical chooses him as the model for the Long-term Medical Holographic Program. It is now that we learn that our enthuasitic, open, talkative Doctor has a dark secret. At six, Julian was considered slow and retardant in development, so his parents took him for genetic enhancements of mental skills, and body coordination out of love. When Julian found out what had happened, he felt that his parents had rejected the original Julian. Starfleet had already outlawed genetic recoding because of the Eugenics Wars, when enhanced super-humans wreaked havoc on the world. The situation had forced Julian to tender his resignation, but his father decided to take responsibility for it.

He was very lucky not to have sustained any adverse side-effects, because the genetic enhancements might easily have damage a person's mental state permanently.

Starfleet Intelligence had thought that Julian was a Dominion spy. Sloan had questioned Julian about his stay at the Dominian camp, Internment Camp 371.
It had began to look like Julian was actually a spy until he had noticed that O'Brien's arm, which should have been hurt, was fine. It turns out that he had been
taken into a holosuite to by Section 31, a secret intelligence agency, who didn't report to Starfleet. The agency had put Julian through the test to discover his identity. When Sloan was convinced the Julian wasn't a spy, he asked him to join them. Julian was obviously shocked by the suggestion and asked to be returned to DS9.

Unfortunately this wasn't the last he was gonna hear from Section31. Sloan enlisted his help during the medical convention held on Romulus, where Julian had been invited to give a lecture on the Quickening. Sloan wanted him to gather data on the Romulan leadership while he was at the convention, Julian rejected and would only accept when Sisko advised him to play along, so that they could learn more about Section 31.

At the conference, Sloan asked Bashir is to diagnose the head of the Tal Shiar, Koval, whom Sloan had already suspected to have contracted a slow degenerative disease called Tuvan syndrome. From the questions Sloan asked, it became apparent that he was planning to use the disease as a means to assassinate Koval. Julian turned to the only friendly Romulan he knew, Senator Cretak, for help. Cretak's subsequent actions led to her arrest and expulsion from the Romulan senate, when evidence surfaced that loan was plotting against Koval.

Julian later learned that Sloan had set up the Senator so she would be taken off the Senate. When he realized Admiral Ross had known about the plot, Julian's naive faith in the Federation took a great blow.

Also when it became clear Odo had been infected by Section 31 so that he would act as a carrier for the disease and spread it to other Changelings, Julian's sense of ethics and morality overcame all his other feelings of fear and doubt. He had to find a cure for
Odo and stop Section 31 in its attempted genocide. With help from O'Brien, the two lured Sloan to Deep Space Nine and attempted to coerce the cure from him. Sloan then activated a poisoning agent orally and nearly died before Julian just managed to stabilize him -- temporarily. Unwilling to give up, even at Sloan's imminent death, Julian talked O'Brien into using a Romulan mind probe to go into the mind of Sloan and extract the cure in virtual reality. At the last possible moment, when Sloan's body began to collapse into final death, Sloan tried to tempt Julian to stay with his offerings of all Section31 dealings and files. Julian's dream of being a spy almost had him agreeing, but O'Brien's sensible presence prevented Sloan from succeeding, and the two escaped into reality with the cure for Odo.

For Julian, the death of Jadzia will probably always hurt him. And now he is in love with Dax again, only this time, it's with Ezri. Julian and Ezri almost instantly connected, and despite some misgivings in the beginning of their relationship, finally ended up in each other's arms.

Well that's all I can think of. But just before I stop babbling I can't help but put in a personal opinion. Julian was my inspiration to study medicine. His enthusiasm and devotion, his strick adherence to the Hippocratic Oath, his need to help people in suffering made me realise that there was absolutely nothing more useful I could do with my life. More than anyone else, I think he's influenced the person I am. So Thank You Julian :smile: Hey I even named my teddy bear Kukalaka!! :D

Feel free to add anything i missed out or just voice your own opinions.

Dr.Julian Bashir is a distant relative of 15th-century Earth poet Singh el Bashir.
Julian was first in his class in pediatric medicine.
Julian became romantically involved with Ensign Melora Pazlar when he helped her to adapt to Deep space nine's gravity. He also became romantically involved with Leeta for a few months, until they performed the Bajoran Rita of Separation on Risa, ending their relationship.
Bashir enjoyed playing racquetball and was captain of the racquetball team at Starfleet Medical Academy. He sometimes played racquetball and darts with Miles O'Brien on DS9.
He befriended Elim Garak and despite his initial distrust, Bashir began to respect Garak's insights.
Bashir's fantasy life included indulging in holodeck adventures in which he played a colourful secret agent who worked for the British Government in the 1960's, a fixed bi-plane fighter pilot of the first world war, a defender of the Alamo, and a knight in armour.
He worked hard to unsuccessfully find a cure for the ketracel-white addiction that kept the Jem'Hadar under Dominion control. He also sought to find a cure for the Teplan blight that plagued an entire population of a planet, and was successful in identifying and developing an inoculation against a deadly pathogen on Boranis III.
His research in biomedical replication was recognised when he became the youngest nominee in history for the Carrington Award.
He was abducted and held captive by the Dominion, and replaced by a Founder for several weeks in 2373.
 
that was a brief resume....LOL... loads of info there dave thanxs
 
I gotta ask isn't Singh a sikh name and El Bashir an Arabic name. How would that work. I mean I might be wrong i'm not an expert. I didn't know half the stuff you lot have mentioned. it's just something bugging me.

You are probably correct today, and I don't think that the Star Trek writers would have a clue, but the 15th-century Earth poet Singh el Bashir, was a real person. (Don't know where he lived).

I don't know if Bashir is an Arabic name. (sounds Arabic) 'El' just means 'son of'. Alexander Siddig is of Arabic origin of course.
 
y

cute.......................................bashir that is!:)

Isn't "Ibn" "son of?"
 
Also he changed his name, in later seaons he was credited as "Alexander Siddig" but originally he was called "Siddig El Fadil"
 
Well i did not know that ???? Cheers MArkpud
 
is ur attention slipping Neo?? I noticed that as soon as i first saw it in the credits, hmmm, best part of 10 years ago :eek: makes me feel old... :(
 
I don't know now i am all confudded:iiworry:
I'll have to ask my uncle. I studied Arabic for years until about three years ago and i'm still awful at it!!!!

Wait i think it might have to do with where his family come from. Kind of like the Godfather sometimes immigrants were given the names of where they camefrom as a last name. That could have come from his grandfather or something and his name could actually mean Siddig from Fadil. Just a suggestion but i think that might be what it is. I'll ask anyway though.

"bin" means 'son of' in arabic
el means 'son of' in somehitng
and ibn means sommat totally dieffernt!
 
Well my mum has told me that el means "of the" litterally same as from
ibn and bin i think have the same meaning as "son of",
we really are getting into an odd conversation now aren't we :crazy:
 
Well it could be old Arabic not the Arabic that has evolved today. The conversational arabic is different to 1400 years ago.
 
yeh

Arabic has changed.....as all other languages have.

but i gather they all ean the same thing.
im trying to study it right now.....i seem to have done all i can with Urdu.......lol
