Spock


Serial number: S179-276SP

2230: Spock is born to Sarek and Amanda Grayson in the city of Shi'Kahr on Vulcan.  Spock's mother,
Spock with his father just after birth    Amanda Grayson, was a human school teacher from Earth and his father,
    Sarek, was a respected diplomat and ambassador from Vulcan.
    As a result, he was torn between two worlds, the stern discipline
    of Vulcan logic and the emotionalism of his human side. The
    struggle to reconcile his two halves would torment him for much
    of his life.       "Journey to Babel" [TOS]
    His lineal Vulcan name is unpronounceable by most Earth humans.

    reputation.                                     "Yesteryear" [TAS]

2237:  As a child, Spock was teased about his human heritage.  Once, Spock came home upset after getting
    into a fight at school because the other Vulcan boys had tormented him, saying he wasn't really Vulcan.
    His father scolded him and told him that if he didn't pass the kahs wan, a test of maturity, the next month,
    he would be very disapointed.  Later that night, Spock ran away, on his own unauthorized kahs wan.  He
    was brought home the next day by his cousin Selek.  The next month, Spock passed his kahs wan easily.
    As a child, Spock had a pet sehlat, sort of a live Vulcan teddy bear.
                                                               "Yesteryear" [TAS]

    In an alternate timeline, Spock's pet sehlat, I-Chaya, was mortally wounded and the seven-year-old Spock
    decided to have him euthanized rather than continue to live in pain.
                                                               "Yesteryear" [TAS]

    At age seven, Spock was telepathically bonded with a young Vulcan girl named T'Pring. The telepathic

 2252:  Spock said he worked with Pike for 11 years, 4 months, which suggests he was young enough when

    fifth clone of a Terran scientist that lived during the Eugenics wars.  Keniculus

    for his plan to create an army of giant peacemakers -- clones which would enforce peace
    on the war-torn galaxy. Kirk's tried to convince him that nearly the whole galaxy is
    already in peace but Keniclius didn't believe him.  Meanwhile, the original Spock is dying,

    cause of Romulan/Vulcan reunification - a mission which the Federation never approved.
    Captain Jean-Luc Picard was sent undercover to Romulus to determine his
    whereabouts and motives. Senator Pardek tried to use Spock's reunification
    initiative as a cover for an attempted Romulan invasion and take over of Vulcan
    Spock, along with Picard and Data were instrumental in stopping the invasion.
    Spock was saddened to hear of the death of his father.  Spock had never chosen
    to meld with his father during his life, but prior to his death, Sarek had mind-
    melded with Jean-Luc Picard, sharing with Picard his deepest emotions,
    unclouded by Vulcan logic. Picard's presence on Romulus allowed Spock a final
    last solace.  Thanks to the earlier Picard-Sarek meld, Picard was able to allow
    Spock to mind-meld with him, and thus experience the love that Sarek had felt
    for his son.  Spock chose to remain underground on Romulus in hopes of
    furthering the cause of reunification.
