Tuvok
Species: male Vulcan
Rank: Lieutenant Commander*
Date of birth: 2264
Place of birth: Vulcanis Lunar Colony
Marital status: married to T'Pel since 2304
Children: three sons, one daughter
Grandchildren: one
Security officer on the USS Voyager (VOY: "Caretaker"). Tuvok taught at the Starfleet Academy for 16 years (VOY: "Learning Curve"). He was married in 2304 (VOY: "Ex Post Facto") to T'Pel (VOY: "Persistence of Vision"). Tuvok and T'Pel had four children, three sons and a daughter (VOY: "Elogium"). At home on Vulcan, Tuvok was proficient at playing his Vulcan lute, a stringed musical instrument (VOY: "Persistence of Vision", "Innocence"). He was skilled at horticulture, known for breeding prize Vulcan orchids (VOY: "Tattoo"). Nowadays a Vulcan with a highly trained mind, he refused the study of logic and mental discipline in his youth (VOY: "Gravity").
Tuvok entered Starfleet Academy in 2289 at his parents' insistence. In 2293, he was assigned to the USS Excelsior as a junior science officer under the command of Captain Hikaru Sulu. Tuvok did not realize it at the time, but he became infected with a parasitic memory virus from fellow crew member Dimitri Valtane. Tuvok found it difficult to accept the multicultural environment of Starfleet, preferring the controlled discipline of his own Vulcan people (VOY: "Flashback"). Tuvok even spoke out against Captain Spock's visionary proposal of an alliance between the Federation and the Klingon Empire (VOY: "Alliances"). Tuvok resigned from Starfleet shortly thereafter and returned to his homeworld to undergo the Kolinahr discipline. His studies were interrupted in 2304 when he underwent Pon farr and married T'Pel. After raising a family of his own, Tuvok appreciated his parents' motives for sending him to Starfleet. After a 51-year absence, Tuvok returned to Starfleet in 2349 and was assigned to the USS Wyoming (VOY: "Flashback"). Tuvok was once stationed at the Jupiter Station some time prior to 2371. While there, he kept in contact with Kathryn Janeway by written letters (VOY: "Tuvix"). Tuvok taught archery science for several years at the Vulcan Institute of Defensive Arts (VOY: "Basics, Part II").
In 2371, Tuvok went undercover and infiltrated the Maquis, ending up on Chakotay's ship. The Maquis ship and later the Voyager were abruptly transported to the Delta Quadrant, and Tuvok returned to his regular Starfleet duties (VOY: "Caretaker"). Tuvok, who had been Kathryn Janeway's tactical officer for many years, would ordinarily have been assigned to replace Voyager's first officer, who died in the first encounter with the Caretaker. Janeway nevertheless elected to appoint Chakotay to that position in the interest of building trust with the new Maquis members of her crew (VOY: "Twisted").
In 2371, a member of the Komar species took control of Tuvok in an attempt to lead Voyager into a dark-matter nebula so that the Komar could extract the crew's neural energy. The attempt was not successful, and the alien left Tuvok's body. (VOY: "Cathexis"). In 2372, Tuvok performed a Vulcan mind-meld with confessed murderer Lon Suder. The meld caused a neurochemical imbalance in Tuvok's brain, leading to a temporary, violent loss of emotional self-control (VOY: "Meld"). In 2372, Tuvok and Neelix were involved in a transporter accident that merged them at the molecular level, forming a new living being who adopted the name Tuvix. Tuvok did not exist during the two weeks that Tuvix lived (VOY: "Tuvix").
Tuvok almost became involved with a holographic projection in early 2374, but the girl turned out to be an incarnation of a lonely woman who was using the ship's emitters to have some company (VOY: "Alter Ego"). On a common away mission with Neelix on a Nezu planet, Tuvok had to learn to take Neelix seriously, and the two contrary characters established mutual understanding (VOY: "Rise"). Tuvok had a remotely romantic relationship with a woman called Noss, when he and Paris are stranded on a planet inside a gravity well (VOY: "Gravity"). He suffered a severe neurological damage when he was attacked by a member of the Ba'neth species. Without his memory and his mental training, he had no longer an interest in logic, but much rather in the pleasures of life, until a cure was found (VOY: "Riddles"). Tuvok, along with Janeway and Torres, allowed himself to be assimilated in order to infiltrate the Borg Collective (VOY: "Unimatrix Zero"). Under the influence of a fanatic Bajoran ex-Maquis, Tuvok led a mutiny of former Maquis members on Voyager, until it was found out that their minds were all being controlled (VOY: "Repression"). Tuvok was among the crew members who were abducted to the Quarra homeworld to work there. Because of the special nature of his brain, Tuvok kept some of his former knowledge, which resurfaced in panic attacks (VOY: "Workforce").
