EDUCATIONAL BACKGROUND     
A. Academic Institutions Attended 
High School
(High School Thesis: "Nanotech Enhancements to Smooth Muscle
Tissue"; subtitled: "Organic Alternatives to Cybernetics") 
"Sobek has not yet realized his true origins, yet despite the
confusion imparted upon him by his emotional Romulan side, he has made remarkable achievements
in his studies."
Headmaster Sorak, Dean of Vulcan Science Academy
 
Graduate School:
Vulcan Science Academy
(Thesis: "Gravimetric Analysis of Telepathic Contact Across
Interspecies Boundaries")
"In line with his previous academic performances, Sobek exhibits
marked capability in
understanding the sciences, but still continues to grapple with his
untamed Romulan
emotions".  -Professor Denarde Auix, Andorian Head of College of
Science and
Technology for Vulcan Science Academy

Vulcan Academy of the Defensive Arts
"Never before has there existed a mix of raw emotional rage, coupled
with the purity of Vulcan logic.   Sobek has a rare mixture, the likes of which many on
the Vulcan High Council would care not to be aware even exists in our universe. 
Sobek's Romulan heritage had begun to develop and his mother feared unchecked it could lead
to Sobek's own demise. 

Thusly, he was enrolled in this academy.  Here at the Vulcan Academy
of the Defensive Arts, we were hopefully successful in channeling the rage that
exists within Sobek."

B. Background Summary:
Sobek was born on Romulus.  His father, Sernek, was a Federation
espionage agent placed planetside to observe the political
machinations of the Romulan Senate as well as interact with
Ambassador Spock's foundering Unification Movement.  Unfortunately,
Sernek was also on Romulus during the assassination of the entire
Romulan Senate by a new Praetor (this new Praetor's rise to power was
very short-lived because of the efforts of the crew of Starfleet's
flagship).  Due to the resulting chaos, the Federation was unable and
unwilling to pull Sernek out forcing him to extend his stay on
Romulus beyond original mission parameters.   

During Sernek's time on Romulus, many of the hveinn (farmers) on
Romulus revolted due to the unstable political climate caused by the
sudden power vacuum.  Several Reman factions took this as an
opportunity to revolt as well, which led to many Romulan deaths.  
Amazingly, Sernek was able to survive and eventually fell in with a
group of hveinn led by a forward thinking 'lai (elder romulan female)
who gratefully accepted him into their community.   This 'lai soon
discovered the truth about Sernek, but revealed to him that she
believed in the re-unification of the Romulan peoples with the
Vulcans. She kept his secret from even the people she led.  Soon,
Sernek fell in love and married Xonatha, the daughter of a poor,
indebted Romulan hveinn. Many cycles later, she became pregnant with
Sobek and soon gave birth.   

Upon Sobek's birth, it was immediately apparent that he was not
fully Romulan due to his lack of prominent brow ridges indicative of
the Romulan species.  This aroused suspicions with many of the other
hveinn who were racial purists.  They began to suspect the stranger
Sernek and the authorities were alerted.  Fearing for the life of his
family, Sernek managed to evacuate Xonatha, Sobek, and himself aboard
a Romulan merchant vessel, just as a swarm of uhluans(Romulan
military) overwhelmed the small farming community he had resided
within.  The old 'lai sacrificed her life so that Sernek and his
family could escape.   

Eventually, the trio made their way to Federation space, where
Sernek was able to communicate, after a number of years, with his
superiors.  After a thorough debriefing, Sernek was allowed respite
on Vulan with his new family.  This respite was short lived though as
the deteriorating political climate on Romulus prompted the OSFI to
send one of its most successful field agents back to Romulus. 
Heartbroken, Sernek left his family and returned to Romulus for what
was promised as his last tour of duty with OSFI.   This was true in
an unfortunate way.  Sernek was captured by Romulan authorities and
interred within a Reman prison.  It is a known fact that Remans, once
imprisoned become total savages and resort to barbaric means of
survival including eating their own kind.  It is widely believed that
Sernek is dead as he has not been heard from since Sobek was an
infant, nearly 60 years ago from the present. 

Sobek followed traditional paths of training, but constantly
struggled with his Romulan heritage which gave him goodly doses of
raw emotion from time to time.  After completing training at both the
Vulcan Science Academy and the Vulcan Academy of the Defensive Arts,
Sobek chose to attend Starfleet Academy.  

His performance at the Academy was standard for mentally disciplined
Vulcans, despite his half Romulan heritage.   After graduating, he
was assigned to the USS FEYNMAN and served on this ship under a
number of COs, including Captain Zane (current CO of the USS KIROV,
Silver Fleet).  He was transferred prior to this ship's destruction
in the Coalsack Nebula.  

Choosing to serve in the OSFI was a difficult decision for Sobek. 
Even though older now, he still struggled with maintaining control
over his feelings and emotions, a fact he attributed solely to his
Romulan heritage.  Working as a data analyst, Sobek learned the
importance of patience and meticulousness, skills honed because he
hoped to find some indication of what happened to his father.  His
mother, still residing on Vulcan, had long since given up on finding
Sernek, but something drove Sobek to keep searching for answers.  

He found these answers after nearly 13 years of working for OSFI. 
Some intercepted data communications within the Romulan Navy provided
rare access to the Romulan Empire's historical archives.   Tapping
into this archive, Sobek found mention of his father and his father's
demise in a Reman prison, eaten alive by Reman inmates.  Sernek had
been placed there by his Romulan captors.  Having difficulty managing
his feelings as it was, Sobek withdrew from OSFI, requesting a
discharge and traveled to Vulcan to be with his mother and undergo
the Kolinar.  

With one disappointment under his belt, Sobek soon faced another. 
After nearly 15 years of study, he failed the final test of the
Kolinar.  Leaving Vulcan, Sobek chose to re-enlist in Starfleet in
the continued hope of obtaining the control he desperately seeks so
that he can become more Vulcan and less of what he truly is, which is
Romulan.

MISCELLENEOUS NOTES  
A. Skills Profile 
Lieutenant Commander Sobek is a fully trained tactician possessing a
scientific mindset.  He is quite capable of defending himself in one
on one or group combat.   In addition, his age, experience, and years
in OSFI have given him the ability to effectively lead teams of
individuals towards a common goal. 

D. Psychological Profile
"Lieutenant Commander Sobek has definitely benefited from undergoing
the rigors of the Kolinar, despite not having passed the final exam. 
It must be noted that very few of non-pure Vulcan blood can even make
it past the initial examinations required for the Kolinar.  His
mindset has truly become much less aggressive and more in line with
baselines for Vulcan mindsets.   My biggest concern is that Sobek's
preoccupation with finding himself is far too focused on
bottlenecking himself into that of a stereotypical Vulcan.  Long have
I held the belief that the re-unification of both Romulans and
Vulcans would be mutually beneficial to both species, but there are
many within the Federation who vehemently disagree, Vulcans being a
major proponent of that dissent strangely enough.  I feel that Sobek
has already found himself, the necessary blending of both Romulan and
Vulcan traits, aggression, passion, mixed with patience, and a
willingness to understand the unknown."

D. Current Recreational Interests
Romulan news feeds, racquetball, and fishing
