Leonard Horatio McCoy was born in 2218 in North America, Earth. His father was David McCoy. He graduated from the University of Mississippi with a degree in physiology in the late 2240s. During his university studies he briefly met Emony Dax. Eventually he became a Starfleet surgeon. In 2266 he was briefly stationed on planet Capella IV.(In the alternative [Orci, Kurtzman, Abrams] universe created by Spock and Nero [Star Trek] going back in time [as opposed to the Roddenberry, Coon, Berman verse found outside the parenthesis], McCoy [reprised by Karl Urban] enlists in Starfleet after his divorce because it beats being destitute. On the trip to Startfleet Academy he meets Jim Kirk. In the alternative McCoy and Kirk develop a serious friendship starting on the trip to the Academy with Pike and then at the Academy. McCoy helps smuggle Kirk on board the Enterprise after Kirk is put in limbo for alegedly cheating on the Kobayashi Maru test. McCoy also takes a liking to Spock, even though he refers to him privately as a green blooded hob-gobblin. In the alternative universe he becomes head of Medical for the Enterprise after the death of Dr. Puri who was head of Enterprise Medical under Pike in the alternative universe. In the alternative the name Bones comes from a statement he makes to Kirk about his wife taking everything in the divorce except his bones and Kirk makes it stick. The alternative Universe is very important for the future of Trekverse).Later that year he became chief medical officer on board the U.S.S. Enterprise (NCC-1701) after the retirement of Dr. Mark Piper. He served on board the vessel until the end of Kirk's first five-year mission. In 2269 he retired from Starfleet, but was recruited again in 2271 when the refitted Enterprise encountered the V'ger entity.Admiral Kirk reactivated McCoy under a little known Starfleet regulation just for this one mission, but McCoy ended up staying with Kirk and the remaining Enterprise crew right through Kirk's self exile into Starfleet Academy as Commandant before taking back command and going where no one has gone before in search of the Genesis Device.Then, once again, McCoy, who now unwittingly holds Spock's essence or katra, is separated from Starfleet and attempts an illegal trek to the Genesis planet, only to be arrested, then sprung by Kirk and the Enterprise crew who travel, illegally, to the Genesis planet and find a re-born Spock.After Spock's katra is somewhat re-united with Spock's regenerated body, they face more adventures on old Earth looking for whales, fighting Klingon and Starfleet illegal aggression and going in search of God with Spock's brother.McCoy never fully retires and as an Admiral of very old age in Starfleet tours the Enterprise Galaxy Class star ship in orbit around Earth before its maiden voyage, on the arm of android Data Soong in the first episode of Star Trek Next Generation.
