Tuvok's powerful combination of wisdom, experience and physical skills make him a valued addition to the Voyager crew. He enjoys Vulcan meditation and playing the Vulcan game kal-toh.

Tuvok entered Starfleet at the urgings of his parents. Tuvok had wished to become a Vulcan priest, but could not disobey his parents. After several years, he found that he could no longer live among humans, and he resigned from Starfleet and returned to Vulcan in 2298. He then decided to pursue the study of the Kolinahr at the Temple of Amonak. In 2304, he entered into the Pon farr, the Vulcan mating time, for the first time. In the Vulcan custom, his parents chose his wife, T'Pel, and the two were married. They later had three sons and one daughter.
