Biography
Nero was a Romulan miner originating from the late 24th century, and captain of the mining vessel Narada. Following the destruction of Romulus in 2387 caused by a sun gone super nova, Nero sought vengeance against those he felt were responsible because he blaming Spock for the death of his wife, unborn child, and planet., ultimately resulting in him being sucked in by a black hole and transported back in time to 2233. Nero's actions in the past resulted in the creation of an alternate reality. In this reality, his actions led to the destruction of the USS Kelvin as well as the deaths of its two senior officers, Captain Richard Robau and Lieutenant Commander George Kirk. Kirk's death altered the upbringing of his son, James T. Kirk, who in this timeline did not join Starfleet until 2255. Nero was later responsible for the destruction of the alternate reality's Vulcan, which resulted in the deaths of the majority of the Vulcan race. Nero also attempted to destroy this timeline's Earth, but his plot was foiled by Jim Kirk and the crew of the USS Enterprise. Nero apparently died when Spock caused a ship with red matter called the jellyfish to collide with the Narada and thus unleashing the red matter to create a black hole in the center of the ship. Kirk gave Nero and his crew the chance to be saved but he viciously refused the offer. Kirk then ordered his crew to fire upon the ship as it was being sucked into the black hole.
