Sarek and his son, Spock, have always had a turmoil relationship. It is the first thing that the viewer learns when he arrives at the company that Vulcan ambassador to the earth in “Journey to Babel”, as opposed to the close connection that Spock has with his mother.

- First look: Star Trek: The original series, S2E5, “AMOK TIME.”
There were not many volcanoes in Star Trek Originally, with Spock that was advertised as one of the first Vulcan officers who served in Starfleet, but the section “Amok Time” wiped that script. Most of the third act in the original section takes place on Vulcan, at the time of an old and mysterious rite, and several historical figures make their appearance together with T'Pring.

10 Smartest characters in Star Trek, ranked
It is not easy to surpass these incredibly smart and intelligent characters that are seen throughout the Star Trek franchise.
T'Pring has arisen again as a recurring character in Star Trek: Strange New WorldsWhich makes sense because this period correlates to the time when Spock and T'Pring were still engaged.

Surak
The founder of Vulcan's non-emotional philosophy
- First look: Star Trek: The Original SeriesS3E22, “The wild curtain.”
He is referred more often than he actually pops up, but Surak had an early role in Tos Section “The Savage Gardin” and is shown again, at least in Katra form, in Star Trek: Enterprise Section “The Forge.” Surak lived and died hundreds of years before Vulcans came into contact with people.
First and foremost, he was a researcher, but his philosophy of pacifism, science and total emotional control is credited to save his people from self -assumption. His teachings also provide insights into philosophy of infinite diversity in endless combinations, also known as Idic, which is often referred to in the franchise as a fundamental part of the Vulcan identity.

T'ol
Corporate leaders
- First look: Star Trek: EnterpriseS1E1, “Broken Bow.”
Spock may have been the first officer who served with Starfleet, but almost a century before he was standing on the bridge with Captain Pike, the sub -commodity T'Pol went with the crew of Jonathan Archer's Enterprise. Her reception was not a warm, and she had to face criticism from both people, who thought she was a spy, and Vulcan High Command, who believed she had adapted too easily to human empathy.

Best LHBTQ+ Star Trek characters
Star Trek has never shot away from the diversity in his role and characters, and these LGBTQ+ characters show how far it has come.
Despite their lack of confidence in her, T'ol saw the crew of the company through some of the earliest and most uncertain times for human space exploration. Her adventure at the company also includes a divorce and the tragic loss of Tripp Tucker, which almost took the place for her husband. T'ol takes credit to be one of Star Trek History's most influential figures regarding people as part of the federation, but she paid a high price on a personal level.

Tuvok
A vucan -spy
- First look: Star Trek: VoyagerS1E1, “the caretaker.”
Tuvok worked quietly behind the scenes in The trip to be one of its most important characters. He was always closely linked to Kathryn Janeway, served as her close adviser and often as a spy or an informant. One of his first successful assignments was to infiltrate the Maquis crew, which led to Voyager's successful catch of Val Jean.
Most of the crew did not even know about Tuvok's silent and often secret machinations until they had already been rescued by them, so despite his efforts he did not receive much credit. Janeway, however, acknowledged her contributions to the crew's survival, and it is partly what motivated her to return to Borg and exchange her own life to take 20 years of travel time.
During his time in the Delta quadrant, Tuvok was beaten by a debilitating disease that developed into a drastic and devastating scene because it could not be treated on time. Voyager's original trip from Delta Quadrant took 27 years, but Janeway did a deal with Borg to use his mask network to get home faster and save Tuvok.

T'PAU
A famous historical figure
- First look: Star Trek: The original series, S2E5, “AMOK TIME.”
T'Pring may have been the first Vulcan woman to appear in the franchise, but T'Pau follows only a few minutes later, and her importance in the Vulcan community is comparable to Surak. She first appeared in “Amok Time” to judge Spock and T'Prings Kal-IF-FE, and in the movie Star Trek 3: Search for SpockShe monitors the ceremony who returns his Katra to his body.

Star Trek: Starships that had the longest trips, ranked
Some spaceships in the Star Trek universe participated in extensive trips, including these marathons.
Business Fills in more of T'Paus's previous backstory in “The Forge”, where she leads the syarlannic movement and is hard devoted to understanding Surak's real philosophy. When she served Spock's trial in “Amok Time”, she was 145 years old and was known to be one of the few vulcans to refuse a place in the Federation Council.

Spock
The first Vulcan officer in Starfleet
- First look: Star Trek PilotS0E1, “The Cage.”
Spock was one of the few characters to survive the transition from pilot episodes to regular series. Stoicism's Vulcan philosophy had not yet been filled, but it would develop as a foil for the more emotional James Kirk and Dr. McCoy. He refused to join the Vulcan Science Academy and instead chose a place in Starfleet, a choice that ran a wedge between him and his father, Sarek, for decades.
As one of the most popular characters in the franchise, Spock has been present in virtually every movie and TV show in Star Trek IP. If he has no part, they refer to him or introduce a close friend or relative as the protagonist.
