Background and History
Vanik studied at both the Vulcan Space Academy and Starfleet academy.While at the academy he studied many things including Flight Control, Starship Engineering and Security although he decided that Science would be his many goal most of his time was spent following that path. He received a proficiency award in both Phaser and Phaser rifle accuracy. He also studied Vulcan Marshal Arts at the Vulcan Institute of Defensive Arts. He also took extension courses in medical.

While Vanik was away from Vulcan on assignment with Starfleet during the Attack on Vulcan, His Mother T'Era and Father Vanik, Wife T'Lara and Son Tolin were killed when the planet was destroyed.

Observations
He spends most of his free time training his mental abilities as well as his marshal arts. When he is not training he spends his time in his quarters meditating. As most Vulcan dont train their non-touch telepathy Vanik is among the small few that are able to communicate telepathically but only to a small degree. Also while not on duty his clothing runs on the Vulcan side and his quaters have several Vulcan objects through out it.

While on duty he prefers to carry a phaser with him at all times. His phaser preference leans toward the Vulcan style phasers, he finds them easier to handle and more familiar. It's his way of honoring his people.
