Lead
Andorian commando during the search of the sacred Vulcan
monastery of P'Jem. Shran believed Captain Archer was
collaborating with the Vulcan monks to hide a long-range sensor
array in the monastery, and tortured him in an effort to obtain
information. Later on, Shran found himself in Archer's debt when
the captain provided him with evidence of the sensor array.
Shran repaid his debt to Archer by leading a rescue mission to
save the captain and T'Pol from Coridan rebels.
Shran's mission in the Delphic
Expanse aboard the Kumara is to make contact with Archer, but
the guise of an alliance is meant to cover his orders to scan or
even steal the Xindi weapon for use in deterring his people's
perceived ongoing threat from Vulcan. Shran is uneasy with
betraying the humans in their own quest for survival, but is
equally incensed at being outsmarted by Archer into giving up
the weapon lest it be self-destructed in his cargo hold. Still,
he later sends Archer his detailed scans of the weapon in a
covert datastream disguised to look like static—just so no one
discovers his sympathies.
He is left-handed, attended
school on Andoria, and had an older brother who was killed in
the border skirmishes with Vulcan while Shran was still in
school. |
