We don’t know. They’ve given almost zero backstory to anyone.
(Heck, the one alien we got backstory—Saru—has their nature retconned.)
That fact you can’t even recall their name is kinda informative for how much attention thye’ve been given.
It’s cute that you think Discovery cares about canon like that...

The key phrase there being “that can’t be explained”.People keep talking about how Disco jettisons canon, but, frankly, I don't see it. I mean, the Klingons are rolling back to the Klingons we know from TNG (not, it should be said, TOS). Very little of Disco actually directly contradicts canon in any way that can't be explained. Well, presuming by the end of the series we get a reason why the Spore Drive doesn't work. And, let's be honest, considering what we've seen of spore drive, that shouldn't be too hard.
His “one interesting thing” was that he belonged to a prey species that could sense death. That was unique: we’d never seen that before. Then they replaced that aspect of the character and forgot to add anything new. Now he’s a predator, like half the intelligent species we’ve seen...How was Saru retconned?
The name's Bashir, Julian Bashir.I'm crap with names in general though. I struggle with doctor whatshisname in DS9.

It seems to me that at this point, the fans are making stuff up that they than try to fit continuity trying to make it work.But the fact remains is they’re just making stuff up as they go along and leaving it for the fans to fit it into continuity rather than trying t make it work.
True but a lot of Trekkies don't like it.
