Personal Background - Sorehl has been bonded for the past thirty years to Ambassador T'Salik, who currently serves as Federation Envoy-General to the Scorpiad Empire. He and his wife have four daughters, T'Kel (age 15), T'Ael (12), T'Jen (age 9), and T'Riel (age 1) as well as one son, Sawyek (age 3). Sorehl has personal history with several officers, including former Excalibur captain Vixis, Governor K'Vorlag of Klingon Intelligence, and Captain Thomas Halloway of the USS Yorktown. Sorehl served with the parents of Ensign Kallah Ramson, who were his second officer and chief medical officer at Starbase Aegis. His diplomatic contacts include ambassadors Drankum of Ferenginar, shiKatsu Raumuk of Andor, Joy Two of Mudd, and the Vorta Semil. Over the course of three years in the Gamma Quadrant, he formed an advisory relationship to Excalibur captain Ah-Windu Corizon.

 

Career History - Prior to age fifty, Sorehl was involved in technical work as a civilian with Shuvinaljis Warp Technologies, Wilson Energies, and Chandley Works Ltd, notably during modernization of the Galactic Positioning System. As a contractor, he aided development of anti-torpedo systems now employed on Nebula- and Andor-class starships. He also supported the development of quantum payloads, phaser collimaters, tri-cobalt torpedoes, and interphase technology. Choosing to join StarFleet after the Federation's first contact with the Borg, he applied his engineering skills toward starship design and tactical system integration at Utopia Planitia, working on the Defiant project alongside then-Lieutenant Commander Benjamin Sisko. Sorehl was given his first starship posting aboard the Excalibur-A in 2370. (This was his only starship posting prior to achieving command.) His tactical engineering background lent itself to operations, from which he was posted to the newly deployed StarBase Aegis in the Canar system. After serving as chief science officer, then executive officer, he rose to command of Aegis after the loss of its captain during the pre-emptive strike which opened the Dominion War. From that vantage point, he supported strategic fleet operations along that border. He briefly commanded the Excalibur-A during successful liberation of the Decelea asteroid field. Following the war, the Canar colony gained formal status as a Federation protectorate and the station was redesignated SB405. Sorehl assumed the role of territorial governor for Allied occupation forces at the Empok Nor space station. He continued with this posting until the formal transition of that facility to Cardassian control three years later. He oversaw construction and commanded Camelot Station in the Avalon system, during its Gamma Quadrant assembly. In this capacity, he directed fleet maintenance, coordinated with Romulan and Klingon ambassadors, served as a Dominion advisor, and planned strategic operations defending against incursions by Hundred and Scorpiad forces. In the peace following the Battle of the Wormhole, Sorehl stepped down from command and entered reserve status. He briefly served as Special Commissioner to the Federation Security Council, submitting a report which recommended the end of Aegis' mission at Cardassia. He has since remained a civilian living on Avalon Base, working as a correspondent and advocate of several races in the Gamma Quadrant.

Medical History - Although he has endured the usual series of space-borne illnesses and alien viruses, Sorehl has no known medical issues. A testament to Federation medical science, he has survived attacks from carnivorous insect swarms, severe plasma burns, radiation poisoning, turboshaft falls, Jem’Hadar combat, and an assassination attempt. He bears a distinctive tattoo on his lower right back, the result of a first contact mission with the Ovetra culture.

 

Psychological Profile – Sorehl has the calm, dedicated demeanor of a typical Vulcan. Although his own actions are supported by logic, he makes allowances for the emotionalism of others. He demonstrates strong loyalty to those he serves and has been surprised to inspire it from unlikely sources. He is intolerant of needless violence, disrespect for StarFleet principles, and general prejudice.

 

Miscellaneous - Sorehl has a developed interest in strategy games (kaltoh, chess, komerex, and kotra) and has been known to play an occasional game of racquetball. He has spent nearly fifty years studying various Vulcan mind sciences under the mentorship of the Y'hri discipline. He has managed to develop good working relationships with Klingon officers, having studied their language, culture, and defensive arts. Sorehl considers himself a technocrat, an engineer constrained into leadership roles, although he has proven an able diplomat with the Cardassian government. His associations have exposed him to Klingon, Ferengi, and Vorta psychologies, and provided extensive understanding of Dominion tactics and Cardassian politics. The Romulan psyche, he has admitted, continues to elude him. He has avoided starship assignments, prefering duties that allow his wife and children to live close to him.
