Background
Sedrik was born to Jetonn and Pirrel on Vulcan in the year 2348.  Jetonn is son of Stonn and T’Pring.  T’Pring was bonded with the famous Spock, but when Spock began to experience Pon Farr in 2267 he was spurned by T’Pring in favour of Stonn.  Sedrik’s father, Jetonn, is an Under Secretary in the Office of the Vulcan Ambassador to the Federation, and his mother, Pirrel, teaches at the Vulcan Science Academy.

Sedrik’s early years were spent in the Mountain City of Vulcana Regar, and academics and the study of the teachings of Surak dominated his time.  At age twelve, Sedrik was bonded with Riel, daughter of an official in the Vulcan Ministry of Science.  This bond will draw Sedrik and Riel together when Sedrik begins to experience pon farr.  From age twelve to sixteen Sedrik studied at the Vulcan Science Academy, but he eventually decided to apply to Starfleet Academy in 2364.

Sedrik studied to become a First Contact Specialist at the Academy, but rounded out his education with a firm grounding in the Social Sciences.  He proved to be an outstanding cadet, graduating second in class in 2368.  His exemplary record as a cadet allowed him to be posted as a Science Officer aboard the U.S.S. Endeavor (NCC-71805, Nebula-class) for his Cadet Cruise.  While Sedrik was aboard in 2368, the Endeavor participated in the tense blockade of Romulan ships led by Sela during the Klingon Civil War.  Sedrik’s outstanding performance earned him a promotion to lieutenant, junior grade.

Sedrik’s first Tour of Duty was served as a Diplomatic Attaché on the planet Earth.  Sedrik used his off time to study Human culture and brush up on his history.  During this time, Sedrik was able to participate in several archaeological digs at the Sphinx and Great Pyramids of Giza.  The ancient Egyptian civilization of Earth had particularly fascinated Sedrik, and he felt exceptional honor at being able to study first-hand, these impressive and mysterious monuments.

Sedrik’s next two Tours of Duty were served participating in diplomatic missions with Federation worlds and colonies near the Romulan Neutral Zone.  He served primarily at Starbases 39-Sierra and 22, but had dealings with many of the worlds and colonies in the region, and was able to study and learn about Romulan language and culture, as well as hone his diplomatic and social sciences knowledge.  During this time Sedrik was promoted to full lieutenant, and developed a good relationship with the Commander of Starbase 39-Sierra.  Unfortunately, Sedrik forged an unintentional rivalry with fellow Starfleet Science Officer Wade Bellows, a human.  Sedrik was promoted ahead of Bellows even though Bellows had served aboard Starbase 39-Sierra one year longer.

Personality & Appearance
Sedrik is an intensely curious person, especially when confronted with new and unusual civilizations and cultures.  Archaeological mysteries are particularly fascinating to Sedrik.  There is nothing he finds more interesting than getting “down in the dirt” in search of new clues and discoveries concerning a mysterious culture.

Sedrik has a keen mind and is a good judge of character.  This has helped him in his diplomatic pursuits by enhancing his abilities as a negotiator, despite his naturally unemotional Vulcan traits.

Sedrik is also bluntly honest, almost to a fault.  He has no reservations pointing out that he is more qualified, capable and intellectually superior than most of his peers.  While this has given him the reputation of being an arrogant snob, he is generally unconcerned with others’ personal opinions of him.  Sedrik’s duty is to Starfleet, and, in a broader sense, the truth, and he will stop at nothing to complete his duties and responsibilities in the most efficient and exceptional manner possible.

Sedrik is 1.8 meters tall and is 80 kilos in mass.  His hair is black and his eyes are blue.
