T'Fara was the first ruler of Buran after the nests of the planet were united by his father. T'Fara favored a monarchy style of government and strongly opposed his planet's decision to join the United Federation of Planets.

USS Enterprise-D personnel investigating a lethal plague ravishing the planet discovered that T'Fara had caused the plague by infecting a native grain called tubisin. T'Fara had an cure for the plague and planned on producing it once the Burani voted to withdraw from the Federation. He was arrested for his role in causing the plague.
