Tristan Allen Moseby, Jr. is the son of Senator Christine Moseby, Democrat from Massachusetts. He was born and raised in the wonderful city of Boston and found himself drowning in politics from an early age. His mother has been involved in politics and the Democratic Party since before he could walk, and Tristan could not see himself living another life. It was through Christine's work that he made some of his dearest friends, Dean Emerton and Adella Burnshaw, both of whom he was known since early childhood. Dean and Tristan had a lot in common and were often left to "hang out" while their parents discussed politics and the next big election.

Tristan's interest in politics was simply for entertainment. He cared about the direction the nation was heading in, of course, as he grew older, but he could not shake the feeling that he would be a disgrace to his family if he decided not to attend a major university to pursue a degree in a political science, something which he knew he would do nothing with once he gained said degree. His father, Tristan Sr., appeared to be absolutely miserable due to his wife's political career, and he did not want the same thing to happen to him. He had plans to make a name for himself, just not in the way his mother, who was barely around to raise him, had. He loved his mother and everything she stood for, and he knew that she loved him back. A political career for the eldest Moseby child was simply not meant to be, but his younger sister, Claire, seemed to be following exactly in their mother's footsteps. That helped to dim the spotlight on teenage Tristan, but he was still pressured, this time by both of his parents, to attend a decent university upon graduating.

After Tristan graduated from high school in 2000, he and Dean made plans to attend Columbia University together in the fall. While his mother's fingers were crossed that he would choose to major in political science or pre-law, he opted to remain without a major for his first semester, in hopes that something would pop into his head and all would be right as rain with his collegiate career. However, just a month before he was slated to move into the university with Dean as his roommate, he heard about a casting call for a "rude, playboyish teenager" on a new show on an unpopular network. That show was called "Gilmore Girls", and, during his first year of college, he balanced filming brief guest stints on the show with his school work. When it began to affect his work, his mother begged him to pull away from the show, and he did, albeit very reluctantly.

He immediately changed his course of study to acting, and, although the program wasn't as good as some, he learned more than he could have predicted. After his graduation from the university, he hurried back into acting, looking for any role he could get his hands on. Luckily for him, Dean had just won a role in the film Garden State, and he used his pull to earn Tristan a supporting role. As the years went on, he was averaging a role a year, slowly but surely making his name known in the acting world and separate from that of his political mother.

While he still tries to keep an active role in elections and campaigning, Tristan, for the most part, has shied away from that scene, too irritated by his childhood to immerse himself in it. All in all, he considers things to be going well and hopes that, eventually, his mother will understand why he chose the path he did.

He recently discovered that his best friend of nearly 25 years, Dean Emerton, was in fact his half-brother. His mother and Dean's father, also a senator, had had an affair, and he and his sister Claire were both came from that.
