Aridal Mirak was born on Romulus in the year 2330. As a half-Romulan, he did not have an easy childhood, as his parents' marriage was viewed with suspicion by many Romulans loyal to the government.

When his parents fled to Vulcan in 2378 and Shinzon came into power, the situation became even worse for him. His Commander who had proteced him up until then, could no longer help him and so Aridal was dishonourably discharged from the fleet.

So now, at 49, Aridal had to find his way on Vulcan. During this time on Vulcan, he also immersed himself in Vulcan philosophy and logic under the now stronger influence of his mother and her family. Again, he did not feel he belonged, because while he found some elements of Surak's philosophy helpful, he rejected their strict, logical implementation as practised by Vulcans. In particular, he rejected the absolute suppression of feelings. While he was never rejected on Romulus because of his appearance, on Vulcan, however, his partial Romulan origin was recognised because of the slight bulges on his forehead. He increasingly longed for his time in the Romulan fleet, which he regarded in retrospect as his happiest time. | So now, at 49, Aridal had to find his way on Vulcan.
