	PLAYED BY: Joseph Ruskin SPECIES: Vulcan Male Tuvok told the master that he was sent there against his will, for refusing to deny himself passion and feelings he was born with. The master said that he would teach control to Tuvok, who was in love with a schoolmate, which was one of the reasons his parents sent him to the master. The master taught him that love was the most dangerous of emotions, leading to jealousy, grief, and rage. It was through his teachings that Tuvok embraced logic.
	PLAYED BY: Leroy D. Brazile SPECIES: Vulcan Male As a teenager, he rebelled against the Vulcan ideal of logic and reasoning when he fell in love with a Terrelian girl named Jara, the daughter of an ambassador to Vulcan. Tuvok was willing to violate every tenet of Vulcan philosophy simply to be near her; unfortunately, Jara did not return Tuvok's feelings, and Tuvok chose to leave her. He later spent several months in isolation studying with a Vulcan master, where he learned to subdue his emotions.
	PLAYED BY: Paul S. Eckstein SPECIES: n/a As the supervisor of Renovation Team Nova, he was ordered to seal a subspace sinkhole which had claimed a number of ships. This proved a problem for the crew of the USS Voyager, who were attempting to retrieve Tuvok, Tom Paris, and The Doctor after their shuttlecraft was pulled into the sinkhole. Yost was unwilling to adjust his schedule for their rescue attempt and even began to seal the rift early, though Voyager was able to rescue their people in time.
	PLAYED BY: Lori Petty SPECIES: n/a Noss was encountered by Tuvok and Tom Paris after they crashed on an uncharted planet in 2375. She found their shuttle, and pulled a weapon and stole their medical kit. Noss was attacked by reptilian-looking aliens, but Tuvok saved her. Noss led them to her ship, which had a working force field but no working engines. Noss told them that she lived there for fourteen seasons, and has never seen a ship escape the gravity well. She helped them survive on the hostile planet by teaching them how to hunt and providing them with shelter. She became romantic toward Tuvok. After he was hurt, she nursed him back to health and kissed him, only to be rebuffed by him. She attempted to leave them, but Paris stopped her. After USS Voyager rescued Tuvok and Paris, Noss was returned to her home planet, but not before Tuvok performed a mind meld on Noss to reveal his emotions.
