Elder

The elder was one of the monks at the monastery at P'Jem in 2151. He was the Vulcan who greeted the landing party from Enterprise NX-01 and offered the Stone of J'Kah at request of T'Pol.

When the monks and the landing party were taken prisoner by officers of the Andorian Imperial Guard, the elder objected to the Starfleet crew's use of force to overtake the Andorians, apparently concerned for the safety of the monks and the sanctuary itself. In fact, he was trying to keep Starfleet and the Andorians from discovering the secret listening post hidden in the catacombs below the monastery. (ENT: "The Andorian Incident")

The elder and the other monks, along with the surveillance personnel, were forced to abandon the monastery at P'Jem shortly before the Andorians destroyed it weeks later. (ENT: "Shadows of P'Jem")

The Vulcan elder was played by actor Bruce French who filmed his scenes between Wednesday 22 August 2001 and Monday 27 August 2001 on Paramount Stage 8 and 9.

His costume from this episode was later sold off on the It's A Wrap! sale and auction on eBay. [1]

The first draft script had his name as T'Kosh, but this was removed by the final draft. This character was scripted to be "a regal-looking Vulcan elder wearing ceremonial robes."

Initiate

The initiate was a young Vulcan monk at P'Jem studying to attain kolinahr who was aware that the sanctuary was a cover for a secret listening post. He was the guide for Trip Tucker in the catacombs and brought him to the chamber where the transmitter was.

During a firefight between Earth Starfleet personnel and officers of the Andorian Imperial Guard, the initiate took a weapon and joined the Starfleet crew, secretly to keep them from discovering the listening post. The initiate obviously had no experience firing weapons and his clumsy shots in fact damaged the tapestry and revealed the door to the listening post. The initiate brandished his weapon at Captain Archer to prevent him from turning evidence of the listening post but was incapacitated by one punch from Archer. (ENT: "The Andorian Incident")

The Vulcan initiate was played by actor Richard Tanner who filmed his scenes between Tuesday 21 August 2001 and Friday 24 August 2001 and on Wednesday 29 August 2001 on Paramount Stage 9.

His costume from this episode was later sold off on the It's A Wrap! sale and auction on eBay. [2]

The first draft script had his name as Sulok, but this was removed by the final draft.

Monks

These monks lived at the monastery at P'Jem in the 2150s. In June of 2151, during a meditation in the atrium of the monastery, they were visited by a commando of the Andorian Imperial Guard and taken hostage.

They were later rescued by the crew of Enterprise NX-01 after a secret listening post in the catacombs of the monastery was discovered. (ENT: "The Andorian Incident")

The background actors filmed their scenes between Wednesday 22 August 2001 and Friday 24 August 2001 and on Tuesday 28 August 2001 on Paramount Stage 8 and 9. Steve Chvany filmed his scenes on Wednesday 22 August 2001 only. The call sheet for this day also lists background actor John Kepley playing one of the monks but he did not appear and was replaced by John Jurgens.

Five Vulcan robes including the one of Larry Tolliver were later sold off on the It's A Wrap! sale and auction on eBay. [3] [4] [5] [6] [7]

Priest

A priest performed the fullara ceremony, reading from a large book, on T'Pol in the early-22nd century after she resigned from the Vulcan Ministry of Security after killing Jossen. She couldn't handle having killed an innocent person, and went to the P'Jem monastery to have the memory erased. (ENT: "The Seventh")

This Vulcan was played by an unknown actor.
