Telvin

Former Ship's Counselor of the USS Capistrano, the portly Vulcan Telvin was forced to bail off the ship and out of Starfleet when a stray Flarn ship attacked ("Confrontations" [VEX]). He was so rattled he left Starfleet and doubled in weight, going on to become a motivational speaker ("Image is Everything" [VEX]). Telvin later went on to open his own counseling business on Earth, with Counselor Peterman's help ("The Morning After" [VEX]). Reluctantly, Commodore Velara, then-director of the Explorer Project, admitted to Captain Baxter that Telvin was her brother, as, apparently, was Sesil. They make an attractive family. Telvin returned to Starfleet in 2377 when Captain Conway brought him aboard the USS Aerostar-A as Ship's Counselor ("The Best Times We Never Had" [VEX]).
