T'Pau; Born in the Earth year 2122, as a young woman T'Pau was part of a faction known as the Syrranites who rebelled against the ruling Vulcan High Council in 2154, later graduating to leader of the group following the death of Syrran himself. T'Pau encountered T'Pol and Captain Jonathan Archer of the Earth Starfleet ship Enterprise during this incident which led to the overthrow of the corrupt Vulcan High Command and a move towards greater acceptance of philosopher Surak's teachings, as well as Vulcan abilities such as katra transfer and mind-melding. "Kir'Shara", "Awakening"
A century later, an older and much wiser T'Pau presided over the kanut kalifee ceremony in which Mr. Spock is forced to fight Captain Kirk after Spock is rejected by his bride-to-be, T'Pring. "Amok Time".
In her later years, T'Pau became a highly respected Vulcan leader, and is notable as the only being to refuse a seat on the council of the United Federation of Planets. She has a distrust of "off-worlders" which dates back to before her encounter with Archer. During the "Kir'Shara" incident of 2154 that led to the toppling of the Vulcan High Command, T'Pau administered a therepeutic mind-meld to T'Pol, curing the Enterprise officer of the neurological condition known as Pan'aar Syndrome which she had contracted from an improperly trained melder.
