Profile: Report of Starfleet Security
Security chief and tactical officer under Captain Kathryn Janeway who had gone
undercover to infiltrate the Maquis as part of Chakotay's crew when both ships
disappeared in the Badlands of the Demilitarized Zone, presumably destroyed by
plasma storms; the smaller craft disappeared a week before the Voyager was last
heard from on SD 48307.5.
Earlier in his career Tuvok served on the U.S.S. Wyoming and was a teacher and
cadet trainer at Starfleet Academy for 16 years before joining Janeway's crew
on her ship prior to the U.S.S. Voyager; for a brief time he was on leave with
a temporary assignment at Jupiter Station. In his youth he was an opponent of
the Federation-Klingon treaties but later came to see the wisdom of fellow
Vulcan Spock's drive for alliance.
In his personal life, Tuvok is a devoted parent and husband - his wife was in
labor for 96 hours with their third child - and engages his interest in the
traditional Vulcan lute, playing it for his children when they could not fall
asleep at bedtime. His youngest son was especially fond of "Falor's Journey,"
a 347-verse epic ode. Tuvok also is an expert botanist with growing orchids a
specialty he continues in his own quarters, practices the Keethara meditation
routine, and began his interest in the Vulcan game kal-toh with master studies
at age 5. Prior to his stint on the Wyoming he taught archery science at the
Vulcan Institute for Defensive Arts, and has maintained a scholarly interest
in the study of violence for over a century.

With the best of Vulcan rationality, Tuvok was pressured by his parents into
following them into Starfleet and graduated the Academy at the age of 29 in
2293, originally posted to Capt. Hikaru Sulu on the U.S.S.Excelsior.
He resigned in 2298 to pursue his people's kohlinar regimen of true non-emotion
after becoming disillusioned with non-Vulcans in the service, but went into pon
farr six years later and began a family. His return to Starfleet was marked by
a maturity and a reconsideration of the benefits service provided.
