In her early life T'Pau was a leading member of the Vulcan group known as the Syrrannites. She spent much time in the area of Vulcan known as the Forge; from 2152 to 2154 she never left this area. T'Pau was framed for the bombing of the Earth embassy on Vulcan in 2154. She met Captain Archer when he and T'Pol ventured into the Forge to locate her. T'Pau was not fond of Humans, finding their unchecked emotions distasteful, and was disturbed to find that the Syrranite leader had passed on the katra of Surak to him upon his death. She attempted to remove the katra via a mind meld but was unsuccessful. T'Pau, T'Pol and Archer worked together to recover the Kir'Shara, a Vulcan artifact.1In later life, T'pau became a highly important Vulcan dignitary, and was known for being the only person ever to refuse a place on the Federation Council. She presided over the wedding ceremony of Spock and T'Pring on Vulcan in 2267, where she ordered Kirk to participate in personal combat with Spock when T'Pring chose the Kal-if-fee challenge rather than go through with the marriage.2
