Cipriano was a Human male Starfleet officer serving in the late 23rd century.
While at Starfleet Academy, Cipriano received training in fencing.
During the early 2290s, Cipriano was assigned to the USS Excelsior as its first officer not long after Captain Hikaru Sulu's promotion to the captaincy of that vessel. Prior to his posting, he'd read up on his new commanding officer, Sulu, and browsed through the records of the USS Enterprise. He enjoyed fencing with Sulu, despite being outmatched.
