HistoryEdit

Career in the Tal ShiarEdit

Koval had become an operative of the Tal Shiar by the 2340s. In 2346, he learned of an interrogation conducted by Corbin Entek in which the Klingon Dirak revealed that the House of Kultan was developing biogenic weapons on Khitomer. Koval later arranged for an meeting with Jekri Kaleh, the head of the Tal Shiar, in Tal Shiar Headquarters. (TLE novel: The Art of the Impossible)

In 2360, Koval held the rank of Colonel in the Tal Shiar. In that year, he had Crofter Thamnos and his family develop a new strain of the Gnawing as well as a cure for it. (TLE novel: Catalyst of Sorrows)

By 2364, Koval had become Chairman of the Tal Shiar. (DS9 novel: A Stitch in Time)

In 2373, Cortin Zweller negotiated with Koval on behalf of Section 31. (TNG novel: Rogue)

In 2374, Koval was in the Hall of State during a session of the Romulan Senate when Senator Avelik insinuated that Neral was working for the Federation. (TOS short story: "Blood Sacrifice")

In 2375, Koval worked with Luther Sloan and Section 31 to stop his former lover Kimara Cretak, who the Federation considered dangerous, from ascending to the Continuing Committee, as well as elevating Koval to a much higher position. Sloan had convinced Julian Bashir that 31 was attempting to assassinate Koval and make him confide to Senator Cretak. Cretak was arrested and imprisoned for treason by Praetor Neral and the Committee. (DS9 episode: "Inter Arma Enim Silent Leges")

By 2377, Koval's Tuvan Syndrome had progressed to the point that he was seriously ill. (TOS - Vulcan's Soul novel: Epiphany)

In 2379, the ailing Koval was assassinated by Rehaek. (TTN novel: Taking Wing)

Personal lifeEdit

Using the money and authority from his early role in the Tal Shiar, Koval had built a home at the summit of Kor Thorn on Romulus. Only his aide Timol and Jekri Kaleh knew of the existence of the house. (TLE novel: The Art of the Impossible)

Tuvan Syndrome ran in Koval's family. (TLE novel: Catalyst of Sorrows)

Koval was in a romantic relationship with Kimara Cretak in 2360. They were of the same caste. (TLE novel: Catalyst of Sorrows)

Alternate timelineEdit

In an alternate timeline where Montgomery Scott rescued James T. Kirk before he could be absorbed into the Nexus and the USS Enterprise-D followed them into the past, Koval was the Deputy Arbiter under Supreme Arbiter of the Alliance Sarek. Koval kept a spartan office on Alliance Prime, from which he contacted Sarek in 2293 on an ultrasecure channel to inform him that three of the Cardassian members of the Alliance Council had a clandestine meeting, possibly to discuss overthrowing the Supreme Arbiter; Sarek ordered Koval to keep any Cardassian vessels in high orbit of Alliance Prime - out of transporter range - and to assign a bodyguard detail to Zarcot and any Cardassian Council member. Sarek later contacted Koval to brief him after Zarcot reappeared, acting as bait in an attempt to destroy Sarek's escort vessel, the Wisdom; Sarek again contacted Koval as he ordered the Alliance fleet to intercept a phalanx of Borg cubes that were intent on destroying the Enterprise-D.
