This fearless Captain of the Maquis ship agreed to become First Officer of the Starship U.S.S. Voyager when his crew joined forces with the Federation. Chakotay is a member of the Native American nation that settled on a remote planet near the Demilitarized Zone in an effort to preserve their cultural identity. He attended Starfleet Academy and became a Lieutenant Commander, and was posted to the Merrimac just after the end of the Cardassian Wars. When his people came under attack by Cardassians, Chakotay left Starfleet to defend them, joining the newly-formed Maquis.

Chakotay continues his practice of traditional rituals aboard Voyager. His "spirit guide" - as yet unrevealed - often guides his decision-making process.
