Ocam Sadal was a Betazoid who lived in the late 32nd century. A member of the First House of Betazed, he was the son of President Emerin Sadal and the older brother of Tarima Sadal. He and his sister were leaders in the influential Betazed Youth Delegation.

Biography

In 3192, alongside his father and sister, Ocam was part of the Betazoid delegation that visited the newly recommissioned Starfleet Academy in San Francisco for negotiations regarding Betazed dropping its psionic wall and rejoining the Federation. During the talks, Ocam noticed and encouraged Tarima's growing bond with Cadet Caleb Mir. (SA: "Beta Test")

After Betazed agreed to renew its Federation membership, both Ocam and Tarima opted to remain on Earth and enlist in Starfleet. Ocam chose Starfleet Academy, while Tarima chose the War College. He became roommates with Mir and Darem Reymi. (SA: "Beta Test")

Ocam became a member of the Academy calica team, the Laplings, despite scoring terribly at tryouts, because he fit into the Lappy mascot costume. He participated in an unsanctioned match against the War College Mugatos in the Sato Atrium. He also joined the Bajor Club. (SA: "Vitus Reflux", "Series Acclimation Mil")

Despite his friendship with them, Ocam was not present for the cadets r'uustai ritual to declare themselves as a chosen family nor did he join in stealing a shuttle to go after Anisha Mir or stowing away on the Athena like his sister and Jay-Den Kraag did. (SA: "300th Night")

Personal life

By his own admission, Ocam was rather clumsy and tended to break everything he touched. He had a habit of giving himself mental trophies for accomplishing various daily tasks. He described himself as a "joiner" and called it his "tragic flaw". (SA: "Beta Test", "Series Acclimation Mil")

By midterms, Ocam had grown close to SAM. He addressed her as "Queen Sam Samallina of Samonita". (SA: "Series Acclimation Mil")
