- Parents
- Father: Raised by her Uncle Zadok, a Vulcan archeologist. Her biological father is dead. T'Lea has found out that her Romulan mother killed her real father, Keros – for reasons unbeknownst to her.
- Mother: (Starfleet Command, Classified Information – Black Ops Division) Raivus was an infamous Tal Shair 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 Shair. 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
As a child T’Lea traveled extensively with her father on various archeology expeditions across the galaxy. T’Lea was a mischievous and rebellious child. She always went out of her way to try and evoke emotion from her father – this was partly due to her devilish Romulan side, and partly due to her father’s neglect.
Eventually, Zadok returned home to Vulcan and took a stationary job as a professor so that his daughter might have a stable home and strong moral foundation to grow on. T’Lea fought the Vulcan lifestyle for as long as she could, but soon embraced the discipline and self-control teachings of Surak. T’Lea finally settled down into Vulcan customs and began to suppress everything Romulan when she reached adolescence.
After joining Starfleet Academy to pursue a career in Federation Space Aviation, T’Lea suddenly found that the intense stress of academy life was responsible for resurrecting the powerful antagonistic Romulan side that she tried so hard to mute. T’Lea’s “dark side” finally got the better of her during a flight sim designed to test the cadets teamwork skills under extreme pressure. The insufferable bickering of her teammates pushed T’Lea over the edge and she purposely crashed the shuttlecraft, killing everyone onboard. Needless to say she failed the flight simulation and as a result her entire team, including T’Lea, had to retake the class the following year. For T’Lea the minor set back was worth it just to see the shocked looks on all her teammates faces when she slammed the shuttle simulation into the rear-end of a giant Cardassian Garaqulicar lizard. Once T’Lea cleared her head of the "incident", she re-evaluated her desires and goals at the academy and switched majors to the less stressful environment of Science.
The rest of T’Lea’s days at the academy were fairly uneventful and most incidents that T’Lea faced were personal, inner-conflicts of emotion. To this day she still struggles with her good Vulcan side and her unstable Romulan heritage.
- Notes: T'Lea is pronounced, T'Lee.
