John Torres
From Memory Alpha, the free Star Trek reference.
John Torres was the father of B'Elanna Torres, and former husband of Miral. He married Miral despite his mother's reservations, and for a few years was happily married. However, the strain of living with two Klingons began to get the better of him, and when B'Elanna was around 5 years old, he left her and her mother, a fact B'Elanna blamed herself for. (VOY: "Eye of the Needle", "Lineage")
He has a brother, Carl, and nephews Michael and Dean, and a niece Elizabeth. (VOY: "Lineage")
A few weeks prior to stardate 54740.8, Torres had some business on Kessik IV, the planet his family used to reside on, where he visited their old home. Shortly before her return to the Alpha Quadrant in 2377, John got to talk to B'Elanna via subspace, for the first time in twenty years, in the hopes of reestablishing a relationship to his daughter.
