Soval - Vulcan ambassador to Earth at the time of the launch of
the first
Soval's service record contains an impressive list of
accomplishments. [ENT – Shockwave] In ca. 2050 he served as an
intelligence officer in the Vulcan occupation of and expulsion of Andorian
colonists from Paan
For two years T'Pol served as his
science advisor in the Vulcan

shortly thereafter, Soval informally requested Starfleet Command to ask Archer
to persuade Kov to contact his dying father, a

Delphic Expanse, even

When the
Later, Archer apologized to Soval, who said
that Archer's actions were necessary, although morally
questionable. He stated that he opposed
Starfleet naming Archer captain, but now realized that he was in error. Soval said that he was told that the Expanse
would eventually encompass many worlds, including Vulcan. He told Archer that he (Archer) had done a
great service for both of their worlds, then said thank you and offered a
handshake. [ENT – Home]
When
Soval met and talked with Admiral Forrest upon his arrival on Vulcan, he
mentioned that he was not included in the Vulcan High Command's discussions
regarding joint missions with Earth.
Soval confided to Forrest that Vulcans don't know how to deal with
Humans, and that they're afraid of Humans because they
remind them of themselves years ago.

Maxwell Forrest saved Ambassador Soval's life at the expense of his own when
the Earth Embassy on Vulcan was bombed by unknown terrorists. [ENT – The Forge]
After
having recovered from his injuries sustained during the explosion, Soval
accompanied Administrator V'Las and Chief
Investigator Stel on board the
Later, in
private, Soval urges Archer not to be put off by Stel
telling him the investigation is over.
Soval advised that Archer should go down to Vulcan's surface to continue
the investigation. Soval also says that
it makes no sense that the Syrannites are responsible
for the bombing. He also stated that
however far Archer had to take the investigation, he had Soval's support. He must recheck everything and question
everything, Soval advised. [ENT –
The Forge]
As Archer
and T'Pol were ready to beam down to the surface of Vulcan, Soval handed Tucker
a Starfleet data module showing the gaps in satellite surveillance. These gaps allow for someone to beam down
undetected. [ENT – The Forge]
Ambassador
Soval successfully melded with a severely injured Human patient who was a
guard in the Earth Embassy and saw who brought the bomb into the building. This shows that Soval is part of the melding
minority and most likely had to keep this a secret to keep his position as
ambassador. [ENT – The Forge]
Through
the meld, he ascertained that Chief Investigator Stel
planted the bomb in the Earth Embassy.
On board the
He was
summoned to the High Command to account for his actions. Soval acquiesced to the demand so that he
could talk to the rest of the High Command as well. [ENT – The Forge]
Soval
arrived at the High Command and was relieved of duty by V'Las. He was ordered to surrender all classified
materials to the Security Directorate before leaving. He is also reminded that his loyalty oath is
still in effect. [ENT – Awakening]

Soval
explains how they can trigger a malfunction in the imaging node of a satellite
that would take six minutes for the error to be corrected. No suspicion would be raised as malfunctions
occur frequently near the Forge. [ENT

Soval admitted to Tucker that he had served on Earth for
more than thirty years and had developed an affinity for the world and its
people. He was told by Tucker that he
hid it well, and Soval took that as a compliment. He thanked Tucker for the statement. [ENT – Awakening]

Soval
tells Shran about the impending invasion.
This infuriates Shran who wonders why Soval is betraying his own
people. When asked that, Soval only
answered that the High Command was counting on the element of surprise. If they met resistance, Soval believed that V'Las would be forced to call off the invasion. [ENT – Kir'Shara]
Soval is kidnapped and tortured aboard the
Andorian ship, but Soval tells Shran what he's already told him – that
is, where the Vulcan ships are deployed.

released hours later but is unconscious.
He is moved to sickbay where he made a full recovery. [ENT – Kir'Shara]
After his
recovery, Soval assures Archer (who has brought the Kir'Shara
to the High Command) that the High Command is being disbanded and that Vulcans
wouldn't be looking over his shoulder from now on. [ENT – Kir'Shara]
