Doctors have not been able to figure out why, but believe it is because of nasal damage when he was lost in the desert. -Although he is intelligent and can be very logical, he has not embraced the following of Kolinahr and most Vulcans avoid him after he shows that side of him, even after learning of the reasons why. Even his family is distant with him. |

| Ambitions | N’Evran wants to be a good officer no matter what profession he follows, perhaps even being a starship captain. He wants to enjoy the people around him and experience as much as he can. At some point he wants to settle down and have a family. And a really deep seated part of him wants to be accepted by fellow Vulcans. | |
| Hobbies & Interests | Music, 3-d chess, parisses squares, card games, historical military battles/campaigns, botany (having grown up on the desert planet of Vulcan, and not having much flora to see, he is fascinated with all plant life from a purely observational point of view. He often spends time in arboretums.) | |
| Languages | Vulcan, Andorian, Galactic Standard, Cardassian, some Romulan |
| Personal History | N’Evran started his life named S’tahl. And he experienced what other young Vulcans did; intellectual pursuits and a push towards achieving total control of one’s emotions, and a full embrace of logic. N’evran started to master this easily as he was born with a keen intellect. This all changed when he was thirteen. One day, while conducting an experiment of sorts, N’evran got lost in the Vulcan’s Forge. Before he could find shelter he was caught in a sand storm. He wandered for days after and despite his Vulcan physiology, he succumbed to the heat. He was found by a search party and after two weeks, he awoke in a hospital. Given the dehydration and the heat stroke he endured, N’evran sustained brain damage. Although he was still remarkably smart by most races’ standards in the universe, compared to other Vulcans, he was no longer considered intellectually exceptional. In addition to that he lost the ability to achieve the same level of control of his emotions as other Vulcans and finally embraced that side of himself. Although he can do a nerve pinch because he knew how to do it before the damage, he will never be able to do a mind meld. All of this made him an ‘outcast’ in Vulcan society. Although his family didn’t disown him, it was obvious that he was the black-sheep of the family. Other Vulcans his age avoided him. And although he wanted to attend the Vulcan Science Academy, it was politely suggested that he follow other pursuits before his application was even read. He applied to and was accepted into Starfleet Academy. Before he went, given what he had gone through, he officially changed his name to N’Evran, meaning, seed of the desert thunder wind. In academy he excelled and rebelled. Instead of following traditional Vulcan roles such as sciences, he pursued strategic operations and found the study of tactics and historical battles fascinating. Given that he found himself very bored the first semester, starting the second semester he double majored adding flight control to his majors. He was also able to beat the Kobayashi Maru test his senior year. His instructors, although impressed, noted in his final assessment that the casualty rate was higher than what would be acceptable to be considered a successful mission. Even in Academy though, Vulcans didn’t like to associate with him, given his illogical displays of emotions at times, N’Evran decided to fully embrace his emotions and soon found a form of freedom and enjoyed the experiences, even having dated non-exclusively. |

He did however learn about many different ship types and their inner workings. 2360-2369: USS Landry, Assistant Chief CONN Officer The USS Landry, a Miranda class vessel, did a number of patrols runs near DS-9. It had a number of tense confrontations with the Cardassians. To this date N’Evran does not care for the Cardassians. 2369-2375: Chief CONN Officer, USS Andover Right before the Dominion war, N’Evran became the Chief CONN Officer of the Andover. The ship saw a number of battles during the war and towards the end had to be decommissioned.

In one fight the XO was badly injured and resigned from Starfleet and N’Evran was promoted to the executive officer position. His posting was short-lived as the Lancelot was decommissioned. 2396-present: XO, DS5 Given his familiarity with Cardassian tactics, during the time of the standoff between the Cardassians and Starfleet, he was brought to the front lines to provide strategic input. He would later be assigned to DS5 as her XO. |
