Avocado Inkl was the Gifftan son of Yoss Inkl born aboard the Tsuranga medical ship bound to Resus One in the 67th century.
As his father Yoss' pregnancy was unexpected, he planned to give his son away after birth. Despite this, he seemed keen about certain aspects of his pregnancy, offering to let Yasmin Khan and Ryan Sinclair feel the baby's movements and show them his pregnancy photos.
Avocado was born when Yoss' internal fluids broke during the ship's Pting attack. Despite the ship's BirthBud malfunctioning, Mabli managed to cut open Yoss' pregnancy sac and Yoss' doulas Ryan and Graham helped to calm him as well as simultaneously cut Avocado's two umbilical cords.
Because humans were instrumental in his birth, Avocado was named after the Earth hero Avocado Pear who was famous in Gifftan culture, despite Ryan and Graham assuring Yoss those were in fact fruits. The two offered "Graham Ryan" and "Ryan Graham" as potential names, though Yoss explained those names would make him a laughing stock to Gifftans, and kept the name Avocado, choosing to raise his son after all.
