Ayel

Ayel's History

Ayel was a Romulan miner and part of the crew of the Narada, where he served as second-in-command to Nero.

When the Narada was thrown back in time to 2233, creating an alternate timeline, the ship attacked the USS Kelvin. Nero then had Ayel contact the Kelvin and tell its commanding officer, Captain Richard Robau, to board a shuttlecraft and join them on the Narada, ostensibly to negotiate a cease fire. When Robau was brought on board, Ayel spoke for Nero, questioning Robau as to the whereabouts of Ambassador Spock and his ship. When Robau answered that he was unfamiliar with Spock, Ayel queried the stardate. The response spurred Nero to kill Robau and continue attacking the Kelvin.

Twenty five years later, in 2258 of the alternate reality, Ayel assisted Nero in the capture of Spock and his ship, and in the destruction of Vulcan. Nero had Ayel prepare red matter from Spock's ship, which was used to create an artificial black hole in the center of Vulcan, devouring the planet and killing the majority of the Vulcan species. When James T. Kirk and Spock invaded the Narada as it attacked Earth, Ayel took down Kirk with a surprise attack, allowing Nero to assault and nearly kill Kirk.

Upon hearing news that Spock's ship had been taken and the Narada's drilling rig had been destroyed, Nero left Kirk to Ayel. While grabbing Kirk by the neck, Ayel remarked he was surprised at how weak Humans were. Unfortunately for him, he was too busy gloating to notice that his "victim" had been able to grab hold of his disruptor; when he asked Kirk what he was trying to say, the captain replied, "I got your gun!" and promptly shot him. Ayel's body fell from the platform he was standing on and dropped into the depths of the Narada.
