Soren was a member of the androgynous J'naii species.

The parents of Soren were shuttlecraft pilots. Soren stated to have been flying on shuttles with them before learning to walk. When old enough Soren joined the flight school, where Krite was the instructor.

In 2368, Soren and USS Enterprise-D first officer William T. Riker worked together on a mission to rescue a lost J'naii shuttle, the Taris Murn from the pocket of null space located in the J'naii star system. During this time, Soren revealed to Riker of having a female identity, despite a powerful social taboo against considering oneself to have a gender. They began to fall in love, and although attempting to keep their relationship secret, Krite reported the affair to the J'naii authorities.

Soren was arrested and brought before a panel of judges. Riker told the tribunal that he forced himself on Soren. Soren denied his story, and stated the involvement with him was out of free will. Soren further issued an impassioned speech for acceptance of other deviants. The tribunal regarded this as an admission of perversion, and Soren was ordered to receive psychotectic therapy. Riker offered to give Soren assylum on the Enterprise. The treatments were given ahead of schedule. When Riker did attempt to rescue Soren, the treatment had completely removed the previous gender identity and all feelings for Riker with it. Soren was no longer interested in the offer of asylum.
