Absolutely. Him and Mackenzie Calhoun.
Like Calhoun I often forget that he never actually appeared in anything...
He brings such a nice pragmatic perspective to everything. Quite a nice balance to the way Calhoun does things. I like them both.

Reading a NF/DS9R crossover with a Vaughn and Calhoun adventure together and with Kira in the mix is one of the dreams I have
Oh, man. A Vaughn/Calhoun team-up would be amazing. Thrown in Kira and I'll do anything to read that story.
Get on it, writers!
Get on it, writers!
His parents, I would think.
Look him up at Memory Beta. I would provide a link, but I can't seem to access MB from my home computer at the moment.-
Well, we at MB don't generally have access to that kind of info. I can tell you this-- when Marco Palmieri used to post here, he mentioned that his template for Vaughn was Sean Connery's portrayal of Marko Ramius in The Hunt For Red October.
Vaughn is over a hundred years old now, and that's considered the prime of life these days in Trek's time.
So Picard, being close to 80, will also be in top shape.
Neither of them would look, act, or feel anywhere close to what *we* would expect men of their ages to.
I don't know what the typical human life expectancy is in this timeframe, but it's probably close to a century and a half.
I could definitely see Vaughn and Calhoun having had some kind of history, what with their respective backgrounds working for the shadier side of Starfleet. I was very bummed that New Frontier didn't get the Section 31 treatment when that miniseries event thing came around. Mac certainly skirted that Section 31 line when he was secretly working for Nechayev, didn't he? We know that Vaughn has a history with Section 31, since he's dedicated a good chunk of his life to exposing them, which brings up some very interesting ideas about exactly how Vaughn is viewed by them. Plus I'd just like to know more about Vaughn's personal Shadowy Cabal of admirals as seen in "Abyss" (I think). We got all of this groovy foreshadowing about him when his character first showed up, but, other than the few flashbacks seen in the 4th Mission Gamma book, very little of this has come to fruition.
As noted by Keith already, Vaughn is in both Serpents Among the Ruins and The Art of the Impossible, both of which are Lost Era books, so some background is covered there.
