Silek

Silek was a male Vulcan who lived in the 23rd century.

Biography
He was noted as being the younger brother of Sarek and thus was the son of Skon. Silek was noted for being somewhat of a rebel by leaving for a position on the Human home world despite his fathers savage protests. This was a point of pride to him as he had patiently explained to his father that he had no interest in politics or diplomacy and that his talents layed elsewhere. This led to a rift between father and son as Skon desired Silek to follow tradition by attending the academy and follow the path of his father and his father's father. However, he instead decided to choose the path of a Ktorr Skann which led to him cutting the formal ties with his father and thus led to him being forbidden to return to his house.

In 2231, he was stationed for the first time for a protracted period at Terra, Georgetown. Whilst in Washington, DC, he was coincidently stationed at the same place his brother Sarek worked at in the embassy. At the time, Silek was an exchange student in a doctoral program where he taught linguistics to undergraduates which was where he met Amanda Grayson who was also in the program with the two of them sharing the same office. It was during this period that his brother was seeking an English tutor who was willing to teach at the embassy. This led to Silek recommending Amanda Grayson which led to the formal introduction between the two when Sarek interviewed her himself based on the glowing record that his brother produced on Amanda. Out of family loyalty, Silek convinced Amanda Grayson to marry Sarek after he realized the extent of her feelings for his brother though he later condemned himself to forget his own feelings of her.
