Physical Description Stelek is a tall, lean, and unhurried Vulcan. His movement is economical and precise, a man who has learned that haste rarely improves efficiency. His hair is iron grey, kept short and plain in the Vulcan manner, and he has the upswept brows and pointed ears of his people, with the faint green undertone of copper-based blood beneath the skin.

Stelek's uniform is always spotless and he takes pride in keeping it exactly as regulation requires.

Personality & Traits

General Overview Stelek is logical, dispassionate, exact, and dry, even by the standards of his people. He speaks briefly and to the point, and he is difficult to move once he has reached a conclusion by application of rigorous logic. He is not unkind, though as with most Vulcans, he has learnt to suppress his emotions and does not let them interfere with his daily life.

In the latter part of his career he has dedicated himself to the research and development of holograms and other artificial life forms.
Strengths & Weaknesses Stelek's depth in Starfleet computer and holographic systems is difficult to overstate and easy to underestimate. He has worked through more than a century of the field's development, from duotronic cores to isolinear architecture to the holomatrix. He is meticulous with diagnostics, immovable on the safeguards, and scrupulous about audit logs. On the systems he is responsible for, he is very rarely wrong.

The same exactness is his limitation. He distrusts improvisation and has little regard for engineering built from whatever is at hand rather than done properly, which puts him at odds with a certain kind of talented, unorthodox engineers. He is slow to accept a novel method and slower to concede that a rule he has kept for a century might not apply. Stelek treats people with the same logical ruthlessness that he would apply to a system diagnostic, and his refusal to soften an assessment reads, to those who do not know him, as coldness or obstruction.
Ambitions Stelek would not describe himself as ambitious. He has declined advancement more than once when it would have taken him from the work, and he holds a warrant rather than a commission by deliberate choice, having no interest in command and every interest in the systems themselves.

What he wants from the Ithaca posting, as far as he permits himself to want anything, is for the trial to be conducted honestly and judged on its results, whatever those turn out to be. He would consider it a failure of his responsibility if the system were allowed to succeed, or to fail, for any reason other than its own merits.
Hobbies & Interests He practises kal-toh and meditates in the disciplined Vulcan fashion. He plays the ka'athyra, the Vulcan lyre, with more technical competence than feeling.

His enduring private pursuit is the restoration of obsolete computer systems. He keeps a small collection of duotronic and early isolinear components, decades out of service, and maintains them in working order for no purpose beyond the discipline of doing so. He would say only that a system worth building is worth keeping correct.
