Goldsmith Holland first became aware of the Universal Primate Captivity Crisis while on a remote 8-year study abroad venture at Barnard State Technical College of Kepler-9 where they earned their Nursing Science Doctorate . Born into the Pioneer caste of Apskellion Space Apes, Goldsmith's colony was sacked by a faction of Zealots, and they were taken in by the Doctors when they came to help. Now, as their mission leads them to Earth, Goldsmith and the Doctors are dedicated to the liberation of the primates in captivity there.
