One such ritual took place when Torvan was 29. A Vulcan priest, who took an interest in Torvan's wanting to learn more about the culture, offered a rare opportunity: A mind-meld that would last for several hours. Torvan, more than happy to acquiesce, accepted and they performed the meld. | One such ritual took place when Torvan was 29.

He mediated several border disputes, negotiated during some tense inter-cultural disputes and even oversaw first contact with a new species from the Gamma Quadrant. | For the nest 16 years, Torvan's temperament for negotiations and mediation served him and the diplomatic corps very well.
