Alidar Jarok

Alidar Jarok was a male Romulan who served in the military of the Romulan Star Empire.

He was infamous for leading Romulan forces in the Norkan Campaign sometime prior to 2366.

In the mid 2360s, Jarok began to argue against a new war against the Federation, believing it would destroy the Empire. His protests led to his reassignment to a command post in a distant sector. The Romulan High Command then decided to test his loyalty, sending him falsified data concerning a secret base on Nelvana III in the Romulan Neutral Zone, from which an invasion of Federation space would be launched.

Jarok crossed the Neutral Zone with this misinformation in a stolen scout ship, and encountered the USS Enterprise (NCC-1701-D). At first identifying himself as Sublieutenant Setal, he informed Captain Jean-Luc Picard of the planned offensive. Jarok ultimately had to reveal his true identity to convince Picard to investigate Nelvana III. There, the Romulan deception was revealed, and the Enterprise escaped with the help of a cloaked Klingon squadron.

Jarok, realizing his acrifices had been for naught, committed suicide by ingesting a Felodesine chip, though not before composing a letter for his family.
