John Torres was the father of B'Elanna Torres and ex-husband of Miral. He married Miral despite his mother's reservations about the match being too physically taxing for him. For a few years, he was happily married; however, the strain of living with two Klingons began to get the better of him, and when B'Elanna was young (either 5 or 11 years old, depending on the source), he left her and her mother, a fact B'Elanna blamed herself for. (VOY: "Eye of the Needle", "Lineage", "Faces")



According to a deleted line from "Barge of the Dead", John was a Starfleet officer when he met Miral. The two eloped and had B'Elanna. He and Miral could not agree on how to raise B'Elanna, and he would get angry when she would sneak their daughter off to study the paq'batlh behind his back. Miral eventually left John because it was more important to her to be Klingon that to maintain their marriage.
