Character Spock
Spock was born in 2230, in the city of Shi'Kahr on the planet Vulcan. His father is well-known Vulcan ambassador Sarek, his mother is Amanda Grayson, a human teacher. Serving as an outstanding Starfleet officer for decades and later as an ambassador, Spock was probably the most famous Vulcan-Human hybrid in history.
During his childhood Spock was often teased by other children for being "not fully-Vulcan". He often seek his mother's care and advise in those days. He had a pet Sehlat called I'Chaya. At the age of 7 Spock has taken the Kash'Wah ordeal in the desert. During this test of survival his life was saved by a mysterious cousin of his named Selek (who was, in fact his future self from 2269). Later that year he was mentally bonded with T'Pring who he was supposed to have married during his first and only recorded "Pon Farr", a physiological mating urge that affects adult Vulcans approximately every 7 years.
When Spock returned to Vulcan upon his first Pon Farr fever in 2267, T'Pring chose the "Kah-li-fee" or Challenge, forcing Spock to fight for her with a champion of her choosing. She chose Captain Kirk as her champion. Wary of appearing weak in front of T'Pau, a high ranking Vulcan leader, Kirk accepted the challenge not knowing that the fight was to the death. After the first bout, McCoy was granted permission from T'Pau to administer an injection to Kirk to compensate for the Vulcan thin air. After winning the combat by killing his captain, Spock came out of the Pon Farr and released T'Pring from her betrothal to him. Believing that he had killed his captain and his friend, Spock was prepared to surrender command of the Enterprise to Scotty and submit himself to the authorities for murder only to find that Kirk was still alive as McCoy had given him a neural inhibitor that only simulated death.
Spock got into an argument with his father when he chose the career of Starfleet service instead of the Vulcan Science Academy. The two did not speak with each other for 18 years afterward. Spock graduated from Starfleet Academy in 2251. As a young lieutenant he served as science officer on board the U.S.S. Enterprise (NCC-1701) under the command of Captain Christopher Pike. In 2254 he was a witness of Pike's capture by the inhabitants of Talos IV.
He was promoted to first officer when Captain James T. Kirk took command of the vessel in 2265. He served in that role during Kirk's legendary five-year mission (2265-2270). During this mission the Kirk-Spock-McCoy trio formed their legendary friendship. Spock often served as the logical, cerebral side of Kirk opposing the emotional Dr. McCoy.
After the end of the five-year mission Spock underwent the Kolinahr training on Vulcan, to achieve total emotional supression. He nearly succeeded but for the fact that he was suddenly in mental contact with a powerful intellect several light years away which stirred some emotions within him just as he was to receive the Kolinahr medallion. He returned to the Enterprise in 2273 when it confronted the V'ger entity.
Spock was eventually promoted to Captain and, under supervision at Starfleet Academy of one Admiral James T. Kirk, trained new junior officers.
On a training mission that turned into a real mission under Admiral Kirk in 2285 they went in search of the fate of the top secret "Genesis Device" and came under fire from old nemesis Khan, a late 20th century superhuman warrior from old Earth, a product of eugenics. While trying to save the Enterprise, Spock took a lethal dose of radiation and died. While his body was laid to rest on the "Genesis Planet" created by Khan's use of the device, Spock's mind and soul were transferred into Doctor McCoy who was later arrested in an attempt to get to the forbidden Genesis Planet. Kirk and crew spring McCoy and illegally head to the Genesis Planet in a stolen Enterprise to find a regenerated Spock and angry Klingons who like to shoot at them.
The crew dispenses the Klingons, rescues Spock and takes him home to Vulcan where his Mother and family attempt to re-integrate his McCoy-carried "katra" into his newly regenerated body.
In 2286 Spock, while still not whole, joins with the Enterprise crew in their stolen Klingon ship and returns to Earth for a court martial trial only to find the Earth under attack by a probe that is looking for extinct humpback whales. The crew go back in time and attempt to bring back a pair of whales to stop the probe's assault.
Spock and the Enterprise crew have further adventures on board the USS Enterprise-A. In 2287 Spock's brother steals the ship in search of "God" in the mysterious planet Sha Ka Ree. In 2293 Spock played a pivotal role in the peace negiotiations between the Federation and the Klingon Empire. The same year the Enterprise was decommissioned. Eventually Spock left Starfleet to become a Vulcan Ambassador where he eventually makes contact with Romulan "cousins" and travels to Romulus to educate and possibly re-integrate Romulus into the Vulcan state of being. Here (in 2368) he meets up with future Enterprise Captain Jean-Luc Picard, second officer Data Soong and Romulan functionary, Sela, daughter of Starfleet officer Lt. Tasha Yar on Romulus.
Spock will be called upon to help save Romulus with "Red Matter" to be injected into a Super Nova that is becoming a black hole, but the gravity well works faster than he and Romulus is sucked into the Super Nova black hole. As a result of this a Romulan named Nero goes ballistic and takes off on a personal mission against Spock, whom he views as the one who "killed" Romulus. Nero, a miner, creates a Black Hole and he and Spock, separately in different ships, get sucked into this Black Hole and emerge back in time in the "Old Days" changing their own past. This change affects everyone from Kirk to McCoy to Pike to Scotty to Sulu to Sarak to Spock's mother to Spock, himself. In the new Alternative universe Spock's mother dies after he goes to Starfleet academy and is aboard the Enterprise. In this new alternative universe Spock meets up with a young Uhura and falls for her, having an on-going affair with her. In this universe he starts off being adversarial with Kirk, but then becoming a friend to him. In this universe he meets his older self. Spock, as always, is the center of all things Trek and has been the constant since Chris Pike was Captain of the Enterprise. Mr. Spock is the focal point of the Trekverse past [Roddenberry, Coon, Berman] and Trekverse future [Orci, Kurtzman, JJ Abrams].

Bio:
Raised in a Boston tenement, acting in community theaters since age eight, Leonard Nimoy didn't make his Hollywood debut he was 20, a bit part in Queen for a Day (1951) and another as a ballplayer in the perennial Rhubarb (1951). After two years in army he was still getting small, often uncredited parts - an army telex operator in Them! (1954), for example - but his part as Narab, a Martian finally friendly to Earth, in the closing scene in the corny Republic serial Zombies of the Stratosphere (1952), somewhat foreshadowed the role which would make him a household name--Mr. Spock, the half-human/half-Vulcan science officer of "Star Trek" (1966) one of TV's all-time most successful series. His performance won him three Emmy nominations and launched his career as a writer and director, notably of Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home (1986), the story of a humpback whale rescue that proved the most successful of the Star Trek movies. Stage credits have included "Fiddler on the Roof," "Oliver," "Camelot," and "Equus." He has hosted the well-known TV series "In Search of..." (1976) and "Ancient Mysteries" (1996), authored several volumes of poetry and guest-starred on two episodes of "The Simpsons" (1989). He recently played Mustafa Mond in NBC's telling of Brave New World (1998) (TV).
