Biography[]
T'Les had married some time in the 21st century, and in 2088 she gave birth to her daughter T'Pol. Her husband died some time prior to 2153. (ENT episode: "Home")
For many years, T'Les was an instructor at the Vulcan Science Academy. Following the destruction of P'Jem, the Vulcan High Command found themselves unable to retaliate against T'Pol for the destruction of the monastery, so they instead retaliated against T'Les. The High Command fabricated treason charges against T'Les, and forced her to resign from the Science Academy. T'Pol was forced to marry Koss to help her mother regain her position. (ENT episodes: "Shadows of P'Jem", "Home")
Sometime prior to 2154, T'Les joined the Syrrannite Movement, hoping to restore Vulcan society to that envisioned by Surak. T'Les died in 2154 when the Vulcan High Command attacked the T'Karath Sanctuary. (ENT episodes: "The Forge", "Awakening")
Following the dissolution of the Vulcan High Command, the T'Karath Sanctuary was rebuilt, and T'Les was buried in one of the chambers in the sanctuary. The following year her granddaughter Elizabeth T'Les Tucker was buried next to T'Les. (ENT novel: The Good That Men Do)
