Pontilus was a Romulan, the first Praetor of the Romulan Star Empire.

Biography[]

The popularity of Romulan ale is said to have been due to Praetor Pontilus’ preference for it, although it may have just been Pontilus showing that he was not afraid of being assassinated by poisoning. (ST reference: The Star Trek Cookbook)

A statue of Pontilus can be found in Victory Square on Romulus. (TNG novel: Death in Winter, ST - Typhon Pact novel: Rough Beasts of Empire)

In the 22nd century Pontilus was the namesake of a bird-of-prey, the Praetor Pontilus, which was the test-bed for one of the Romulans’ first prototype cloaking devices. (ENT novel: The Good That Men Do)

In the year 2383, Gell Kamemor reflected that Pontilus likely had the view that political opposition to his rule was a sign of treachery. (ST novel: Raise the Dawn)
