Vulcan master

One of the Kolinahr masters that Spock studied under in the 2270s.

A Vulcan master (or Kolinahr master) is a religious position similar to a monk on the planet Vulcan.

Vulcan teenagers go to Vulcan masters to learn the ways of logic and how to suppress emotion. For example, Tuvok was sent to study under a Vulcan master when he was a teenager and had rebelled against Vulcan discipline. (VOY: "Gravity")

Vulcan masters also preside over Kolinahr, when a Vulcan wishes to purge him or herself of all emotion. (Star Trek: The Motion Picture) T'Klass, a student of Surak, was one of the first Kohlinar masters. (ENT: "Awakening")
