It wouldn't be an understatement to say that, of all of the characters across Star Trek's breathtaking canon, Spock is the most seminal. After a year of boldly going across the galaxy, in the episode Journey to Babel, our most important Vulcan comes face to face with his own most important Vulcan. Sorry T'Pring, not you, this is Sarek, Vulcan ambassador, and Spock's father.

Across four separate shows and movies, as well as a showing in the J.J Abrams Kelvin timeline, Sarek has long established himself as a fan favorite. Whether it's his tense interactions with Spock and his crew in TOS, his respectful rapport with TNG's Picard, or his care for Michael Burnham in Discovery, it's fair to say that the Star Trek Universe would be very different without him.

Despite all of this influence, Sarek only has a handful of appearances to his name, yet the few times he does appear onscreen often turn out to be essential episodes. Outside of these fleeting cameos, there is a great deal about this character unexplored in-Universe, and these are just some of those things you may not know.
