Pardek

Senator Pardek in 2368.

Senator Pardek (played by Malachi Throne) was a member of the Romulan Senate with a lengthy career in Romulan politics. He had been in public service since he was a young man and as of 2368, a senator for nine decades. Early in his life, Pardek was present at the Khitomer Conference peace talks (2293) between the Federation and the Klingon Empire.

Pardek was considered a man of the people and had sponsored many reforms. Reportedly, Romulan leaders considered him as somewhat of a radical since he had been an advocate of peace throughout his career. Pardek represented the Krocton Segment, and maintained a dwelling there; he visited on the third day of the Romulan week when the Senate was not in session.

In 2368, Pardek (along with co-conspirator proconsul Neral) attempted a takeover of Vulcan. After spending decades building a reputation as an advocate for peace, and supporting Vulcan-Romulan reunification, Pardek lured Federation Ambassador Spock to Romulus for false reunification talks; secretly, he had launched a Romulan invasion fleet to Vulcan. The plan was foiled at the last minute by Enterprise Captain Jean-Luc Picard and Commander Data. (TNG: "Unification I" & "Unification II")

In 2380, four veraku before preliminary power share talk between the heads of Romulan faction to determine which would run the Empire, Director Rehaek, head of the Tal Shiar has his adjutant Torath murders Pardek in the Hall of States' Library. "Taking Wing (Michael A. Martin and Andy Mangels)"
