  • Mother: (Starfleet Command, Classified Information – Black Ops Division) Raivus was an infamous Tal Shiar covert operative assigned to infiltrate the Vulcan High Council and gather intelligence. She achieved this task by undergoing surgery to appear Vulcan, and then seducing and eventually bonding with Ambassador Keros. During her seven-year assignment on Vulcan she successfully passed along secrets to the Romulan Star Empire under the meek and humble guise of a loving, devoted wife. Eventually, her assignment changed from simple information gathering, to one of assassination. Her target was her bondmate, Keros. But the orders could not have come at a worse time, two days prior Raivus learned that she was with child. She now found herself torn between the unshakable bond of her fake family, and the unbreakable bond of the Tal Shiar. After struggling with the increasingly difficult telepathic bond between husband and wife, and the new bond between mother and unborn child, it was clear that her real purpose would be revealed. She now had no choice but to follow orders. Raivus completed her assignment and returned to the Romulan Star Empire – but that is where her Tal Shiar loyalties would end. The bloody betrayal that she had done to her child’s father lead Raivus to give up her baby to Keros’s brother, Zadok, and then seek redemption and protection through Starfleet Black Ops. Since then, Raivus and all her secrets of the Tal Shiar have mysteriously disappeared. The Tal Shiar still seek her location.

• Siblings: It has been rumored that T’Lea has a half-brother.

Personal History

Childhood Years - As a child T’Lea traveled extensively with her father, Zadok, to various archeology expeditions across the galaxy. She was exposed to many cultures, languages, and sometimes certain behaviors that young children should never witness. For these reasons, Zadok had T’Lea’s tutors put an extra effort into making her study and practice the Vulcan teachings of Surak. T’Lea hated every second of her lessons and often went out of her way to provoke emotion from her ridged and strict teachers, as well as her guardian. Early on, Zadok learned that there would be no taming T’Lea’s mischievous, rebellious Romulan side, but he would never stop trying.

Young-Adult Years - As T’Lea reached maturity she found herself growing more independent, angry and more defiant of everything Vulcan. During the exclusive excavation of an ancient civilization on N’Dallis Prime, located in the Bogon system, T’Lea left the unpredictable sandstorms of the desert dig-site and sought refuge in the inner city. She quickly found her place as the Alpha Female in a notorious and deadly gang. For four long years she carved out her reputation as the most lethal, heartless, and cunning ruler of the streets -- and along side her mate Dragus, Alpha Male of the gang, their empire was quick to threaten established enemy territories. Soon opposition fell at the duo’s bloodstained hands, but T’Lea’s lust for power, and the inherent legacy left behind by her mother, once again lead to the ultimate betrayal. Seeking a higher social status, T’Lea conspired to have her mate, Dragus, murdered in exchange for a privileged political rank. The sinister plan went awry. She not only saw to the destruction of her mate, but successfully destroyed herself as well. ((see sims: The Beauty Is A Beast Part I: http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/ufop-inactive-columbia/message/2807 , The Beauty Is A Beast Part II: http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/ufop-inactive-columbia/message/2808, and Tapping The Brain: http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/ufop-inactive-columbia/message/2990 ))

Fleeing the city a broken and shattered mess with a Warrant for Vengeance on her head, T’Lea returned to her guardian Zadok, hoping that he would get her off the planet before the Sentinels and/or Bounty Hunters found her. With T'Lea in a comatose state, Zadok fled the Bogon System and arrived on a remote, illegal medical science facility, where he enlisted the expertise of an Ullian to rewrite T’Lea’s memories -- making her docile, peaceful, and logical. With a new Vulcan foundation in place, T’Lea’s violent memories were tamed, and she was completely unaware of the involuntary memory reprogamming she’d suffered. As far T’Lea was concerned, she gave up her brutal past and found sanctuary in the teachings of Surak. Under these false pretences T’Lea joined Starfleet and although she still struggled with her suppressed Romulan side, she managed to work her way through training with logic and Vulcan integrity.

Present – Over time the memory reconstruction procedure has slowly started to deteriorate. During the Ambrosia mission, Ethereal creatures finally broke down the memory barriers and revealed the truth about T’Lea’s past. ((see sim: JP Pandora’s Box: http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/ufop-inactive-columbia/message/3025 )) The shocking revelation thrust T’Lea’s Romulan side to the forefront once again, and forced her false Vulcan half into a deep meditative state. T’Lea is now ruled by her manipulative Romulan heritage and the intense drive to find her estranged mother.
