'''Yalu''' (born 2030) is a [[Symbiont|symbiont]], a sentient vermiform lifeform native to the planet [[Trill (planet)|Trill]]. Yalu, like all symbionts, is capable of living symbiotically inside hosts of the humanoid [[Trill]] species. As of 2397, Yalu's eighth and current host is [[Yogan Yalu|the former Yogan Verso]]. | '''Yalu''' (born 2030) is a [[Symbiont|symbiont]], a sentient vermiform lifeform native to the planet [[Trill (planet)|Trill]].

Yalu was born in the Caves of Mak'ala on the Trill homeworld in 2030, and was tended to by Guardians during its early years. Presumably, Yalu mated and reproduced prior to its first joining in 2140. | Yalu was born in the Caves of Mak'ala on the Trill homeworld in 2030, and was tended to by Guardians during its early years.

From 2140 until 2285, Yalu lived within four hosts in succession–Zedro, Edanne, Omed, and Keroga–with only hours or days elapsing between a host's death and their successor's joining. This line was broken in 2285, with the death by suicide of Keroga Yalu at the age of 27. After Keroga's death, the Symbiosis Commission returned Yalu to the pools in the Caves of Mak'ala to recover from the trauma, as well as to be evaluated for its suitability for joining in the future. Yalu was joined once again the following year, and has lived continuously within humanoid hosts–Benim, Auzell, Eira, and Yalu–since 2286. | |||
As of 2397 and across its eight hosts, Yalu has been married eight times–three as a husband and five as a wife–and partnered twice further. Yalu has been father to five children and mother to eleven. | As of 2397 and across its eight hosts, Yalu has been married eight times–three as a husband and five as a wife–and partnered twice further.
