Skon

Memory Beta, the wiki for licensed Star Trek content.

S'chn T'gai Skon was a male Vulcan in the 22nd century, the son of Solkar.

In the late 2150s, he was a mathematician who was recruited by the Cochrane Institute of Alpha Centauri to participate in the testing of a prototype transporter. (DS9 - The Lives of Dax short story: "Dead Man's Hand")

He was also the first Vulcan to translate The Teachings of Surak from the Vulcan language to English. (ENT episode: "Two Days and Two Nights")

For most of his life Skon was married to T'Rama (ENT short story: "A Girl for Every Star"). The couple eventually had a son, Sarek, who was born in 2165. (TOS movie: Star Trek III: The Search for Spock) Sarek was the elder child and the couple had another son called Silek. Silek became somewhat of a rebel and had chosen to defy tradition by not entering the diplomatic service leading to him being declared a Ktorr Skann; thus the formal ties between father and son were severed with Silek being forbidden to return home. It was only after Skons death was Silek accepted back to the houseold by his mother. (TOS novel: Demons (novel))
