Vulcan ambassador to the United Federation of Planets (2165-2368) and father to Spock. Sarek's illustrious career included the treaty of Alpha Cygnus IX, the Coridian admission to the Federation, and the alliance between the Federation and the Klingon Empire. In 2366, at the age of 202, Ambassador Sarek concluded negotiations on a historic treaty with the Legarans. Sarek had been working on the accord for 93 years, and the treaty was the final triumph of his career. At the time of the talks, Sarek was suffering from degenerative Bendii Syndrome, but the ambassador was able to maintain emotional control with the help of a mindmeld with Jean-Luc Picard. Sarek convalesced for several months while Bendii Syndrome continued to take its toll on his emotional control. Just prior to his death, Sarek met again with Captain Picard, when Picard sought information on the unexplained sighting of Spock on Romulus. Sarek died in his home on Vulcan in 2368 from the degenerative effects of Bendii Syndrome. He was survived by his wife, Perrin, and his son, Ambassador Spock. Sarek was first seen in "Journey to Babel" (TOS). |
