Ronzel was a male Talarian.

By 2382, Ronzel was the Commander-in-Chief of the Talarian Republic. In this capacity, he greeted and hosted Captain Jean-Luc Picard and other Starfleet officers from the USS Enterprise-E when they came to negotiate to bring Talar into the expanded Khitomer Accords. Ronzel arranged formal pomp and circumstance to open the proceedings, but then took a hard line stance, likely to save face while Ambassador Endar did the real negotiating.

However, not all of Talar was united; the women of the planet, fed up with Ronzel's economic decisions that were impacting their ability to care for home and community, formed a protest movement led by Dirin and Velet. Ronzel dismissed them as fanatics, thinking they would stop at nothing less than the dissolution of the government and patriarchy. The protestors disrupted the Federation negotiations, poisoning food with a biotoxin, attacking with anesthizine gas, and kidnapping Jono and Beverly Crusher. Although the Tzenkethi were found to be behind the more aggressive nature of the protests, Starfleet Command had authorized Picard to use of force retrieve the prisoners, placing emphasis on politics. With the continued mistrust of the Federation and the need to get their own affairs in order first, Endar recommended to Ronzel that Talar not yet join the alliance.
