Past History:

 

Born to a wealthy and elite family, Destorie, his two younger sisters, and younger brother lived the life of luxury in the Imperial Deihu (Senate) Compound on ch’Rihan. Destorie was born on Vulcan while his mother was assigned to Vulcan.

 

Upon reaching the age of ascension, Destorie was torn between the wishes of his parents. His mother, t’Sevik, wanted him to enroll in the Vulcan Science Academy and become a great scientist; his father however wanted him to enter into government service arranging for him to have a position in the Tal’Shiar. Destorie, decided, as usual to follow his own path and chose the Galae Retor. While his parents disagreed with his choice they supported him. Once Destorie arrived at the Retor, he found life much tougher, the expectations for the eldest N’Dak were impossibly high, and pressure to succeed often troubled him, but did not stop him from graduating tenth in his class.

 

Destorie spent an extended amount of time on Qo'Nos, the Klingon homeworld, during the Dominion War, while his mother was serving as the Ambassador, where he operated as a military liaison between the Romulan and Klingon government. His employment with the Embassy ended when several Tal’Shiar operatives were discovered in the Klingon Embassy; Destorie and a number of other Rihan citizens were ejected from the embassy. He was suspected of being a covert Tal’Shiar operative, but was cleared of all charges.

 

When it came time for his post aboard a warbird, D’Lvon used his considerable pull to have him posted to the RES Talon; his mother had heard that the ship was only patrolling the border and thought that would be safe so she begged her husband to have him posted to it.

 

N'Dak was assigned to the RES Talon as a Disheren D'heno. He rose to the rank of Daise'Dheno fairly quickly, eventually rising to the rank of Daise'Erei'Riov and Executive officer.

 

Family History & Background:

 

House of N’Dak, Clan of Silaeir

While now it seems that he and his family are among ch’Rihan’s more elite houses, this was not always true. Certainly of honorable lineage, the House of N’Dak had mostly been centered and known only to those of the region of Hein’Rhe. It was only some 300 years ago that rise of the House of N’Dak to Imperial prominence began.

 

It was then that Rheank N’Dak, a local constable of Hein'Rhe, spent much of his savings to send his eldest son to the Galae Retor in the capital city. After gaining admittance to the Retor, Rheank’s son, Destorie exceeded all expectations for him and graduated third in his class with a specialization in military history and tactics.

 

Destorie rose to the rank of Daise’EnRiov while serving as decorated commander in the Imperial Galae. A much feared and respected man, he served as one of the lead Galae Commanders from 2136 to 2155. During this period, the House of N’Dak rose to unparalleled power in the Empire, controlling virtually all three major bodies of the Empire with Destorie heading the Galae, his sister running the Tal’Shiar with an iron fist, and his younger brother becoming a powerful senator whose voice carried much weight in that body. Following the disastrous Rihan-Earth War, which Destorie had almost single handedly escalated, he returned to ch’Rihan in disgrace, committing suicide only hours before the peace treaty that brought an end to the end of the war and established the Neutral Zone was finalized.

 

The Rihan-Earth War significantly reduced the power of the House of N’Dak with only two of the six children of Rheank surviving to the end of the war: a disgraced Destorie and an equally disgraced Deihu Relliv. Additionally, the name N’Dak became almost universally equivalent to ambition in the lexicon of many Rihans, a stigma that persists to this day.

 

Relliv, died without producing an heir and the fate of the House of N’Dak laid in Ma’lyn, Son of the now Destorie. Ma’lyn had been groomed from a young age to take his fathers’ place and following his fathers’ fall from power, Ma’Lyn slowly bid his time rebuilding the once proud family name. Like his father, he worked his way up the ranks of the Galae, rising to the rank of Khre’Riov, in 2225. For another 31 years he would Command the 5th Fleet stationed along the Rihan-Breen border. In 2256, on the hundredth anniversary of the start of , Rihan-Earth War, he was promoted to the rank of EnRiov and position of Galae Commander. He would remain in this post until his retirement, though he did not hold the title of Daise'Enriov as it was reserved as a war-time only appointment.

 

Ma’lyn’s far less radical approach to politics and generally more tempered manner restored much of the respect his father had first earned and then lost for the House of N’Dak; but even then, most scholars felt that the glory days of the House had long since passed. Ma’Lyn died in 2306 of complications of age, leaving behind three sons and a daughter. The eldest son, Lvon (Since renamed D’Lvon) would continue to uphold the honor and respect that his father had regained for the House of N’Dak. As leader of the House of N’Dak, D’Lvon earned a reputation for being far more ambitious than his father, though less so than his grand-father. This reputation, combined with a strong, often abrasive method once again caused the House of N’Dak to have an often polarizing effect.

 

In the early 2380's, the N'Dak suffered a slight affront to their honor when D'Lvon was censured before the Tri-Cameron for his role in attempting to influence punishment being brought upon on his two sons, Issaha and Destorie. However, the family soon quickly regained their footing.

 

Despite the often volatile relationship of the N'Dak family on the imperial stage, they have remained strongly supported in their home region of Hein'Rhe, where a member of the family has represented to the Senate for nearly 250 years in some fashion or another. Currently, while Issaha holds office representing all ch'Rihan in the upper Senate, Ma'lyn's grandson by his only daughter (Daenin N'Dak t'Joln) -- Rhahel tr'Joln -- represents Hein'Rhe in the lower senate.

 

At the peak of its’ power just before the Rihan-Earth War in the 2140’s and 50’s, the House of N’Dak was among the most powerful in the Empire. Since then it has waned, though the power and financial resources of the House of N’Dak should not be underestimated. Their strong, unabashed financial support during the Civil War, coupled with the service of members of the House in the war have led to a restoration of power for the family, as it stands the House of N'Dak is now positioned to return to the glory days of the pre-Earth-Romulan Wars.

 

D’Lvon s’Heer N’Dak, Deihu[/color]

A Deihu for many years, D’Lvon, has been involved in politics most of his life. He is tenured member with a good deal of seniority, once considered to be a fairly respectable and popular Deihu, his reputation has declined of late.

 

At the age of 22, He was recruited to the Tal’Shiar and trained at their Retor. After completion of his training he was assigned to shadow Deihu tr’Nedor, who was believed to be in league with an insurgency group known as “The Free Order.”

 

The Free Order was a group of progressive Rihannsu that supported the overthrow of the Praetorate and favored Reunification with the Vulcans, tr’Nedor was thought to be a sympathizer and financier. After several months of monitoring the Deihu, D’Lvon uncovered that not only was tr’Nedor sympathetic to the terrorist group—he was among its leadership. Shortly after, tr’Nedor died in a tragic accident.

 

D’Lvon remained as an active Tal’Shiar Operative for another 8 years earning the rank of Daise'Sael'Riov (Lt. Colonel).

 

Sometime afterwards, he was appointed to the Senate. During this period of his life meet and subsequently bonded with the future Llairhi (Ambassador) Sevik t’N’Kedre. After being elected to the Deihu (Senate) he did not maintain his position with in the Tal’Shiar and denies any current connection to the Tal’Shiar, though rumors of his involvement in covert operations persist.

 

D'Lvon came under considerable scorn when both of his sons were implicated in what has simply become known as the Arcadia Affair. Complicating this was his own guilt in threatening the life of the very Galae Flag Officer his sons had nearly yy’a. However, as a favor, Fvillah tr’Kelna (the future father-in-law of D'Lvon's daughter) commuted the original sentence of 10 lashings to a less painful but equally severe censure before the entire seiHehllirh (Tri-Cameron).

 

His position in the Senate soon began to recover, and shortly after was reappointed to the powerful Galae Command Committee.

 

During the Civil War, he was an outspoken opponent of the Tal’Shiar government. He was eventually assassinated on the orders of his daughter Savu, along with his wife, N’Kedre.

 

 

Ori’na Sevik N’kedre, Llairhi (Ambassador)

A Long time member of the Kiith Mrevhoqq'ghi (Rihan Diplomatic Corps), Sevik was the daughter of the late Khre’Riov D’Nar tr’N’kedre and Enarrain t’Savu N’kedre. She eventually met then Deihu N’Dak and fell in love with him. It was smart political match, tying together the powerful N’kedre and N’Dak families.

 

Sevik served as an Llairhi (Ambassador) of the Rihan Empire to several high profile governments, including a 5 year stint as ne'Llairhi (Junior Ambassador) to Vulcan, 5 to the Gorn as el'Llairhi (Senior Ambassador), and 10 as the hru'Llairhi (Chief Ambassador) to the Klingon Empire. Sevik's also served as the chief ambassador to the Tholian Assembly.

 

The daughter of two career military parents, it was assumed that she would enter the Galae, a notion she strongly protested and chose the Diplomatic corps, against the protest of her father; a fact she was reminded of when three of her children chose the Galae or Tal’Shiar.

 

An outspoken proponent of peace over xenophobic wars, Sevik was a leading supporter for the Alliance during the Dominion War, a matter her and her husband found themselves on opposite sides of. She was often labeled ‘dangerous’ by many of the more conservative Deihus, however her husband’s political might kept those who would wish to exterminate her voice at bay.

 

Later, as the leading diplomat to Starbase Camelot, N’Kedre became deeply involved in intergalactic affairs almost from the beginning. In fact her very assignment to the station was part of a vast ruse set up by the Tal’Shiar. However, she was eventually able to foil the Tal’Shiar’s plans and maintain peace in the galaxy, something the Tal’Shiar would not soon forget. In the turmoil following the successive assassinations of four Praetors, the rise of the pro-Tal'Shiar government caused her to once again be recalled to serve Kiith Mrevhoqq'ghi on Romulus as apposed to an appointment aboard.

 

When the Great Civil War broke out, N’Kedre instantly become one of the loudest voices against the corrupt and brutal Tal’Shiar government. It came as no surprise when she, along with her husband were assassinated.

 

Rasa N’Dak

Second N’Dak child, twin of Savu, t’Rasa chose not to follow her older brother’s footsteps in the military and instead took a position as an aide to powerful member of the Continuing Committee, tr'Diahu. During her time as an aide, she met his son tr’Diahu, to whom she eventually joined in bonding. The two have four children.

 

During the Civil War, t’Rasa and her husband joined the Galae in opposition to the Tal’Shiar, and worked to secure funds for the Rebel forces.

 

Savu Ye’sho N’Dak

The twin sister of Rasa, Savu chose a far different path from her sister and even older brother. Instead she followed her father’s footsteps. Rising in rank and stature in the Tal’Shiar, Savu emerged as one of the Tal’Shiars most feared leaders during the Civil War, reportedly rising to the rank of Director of R&D. She fought in over 9 engagements during the war, eventually dying at the Battle of ch’Fven.

 

Issaha N’Dak

Youngest child, Issaha served in the Galae along side his brother aboard the RES Talon. During early phases the Romulan Civil War, Issaha distinguished himself as supply smugler for the Galae, and in the latter years as a spokesman for the Empire with the Federation and the Klingons. He is currently a member of the Upper Senate, where he represents the Hein'Rhe region.

 

Recent Career History:

 

During the Romulan Civil War, N’Dak served with great distinction, quickly moving upwards in both rank and stature. He participated in over 11 major engagements, 7 of them successful including the final assault on Ch’Rihan in 2393. As of the most recent date, he has commanded seven vessels at one time or the other.

 

Following the war, he was promoted to the rank of EnRiov and placed in command of the fourth fleet. Following the near assassination of the Praetor at the second anniversary of the VDC, and the Praetor's subsequent decision not to run for the now elected office of Praetor of the Romulan Empire, Destorie decided to enter the political world, running for election after being nominated by the conservative Romulan People's Party. He faces experienced Senator and former Admiral Akael Donatra of the Romulan Unity Party in a highly contested election between the two decorated military officers who both railed against the Tal'Shiar during the civil war.
