Mr. Spock

:This article is about the Star Trek character Mr. Spock. For other uses of the name, see Spock.

Early years

According to the non-canon animated series, Spock was subject to considerable harassment by his peers as a "half-breed" in his youth, and he was deeply conflicted as to what path to follow. To prove himself, he prematurely underwent an important coming of age trial without parent's knowledge, but his pet sehlat, I-Chaya insisted on accompaigning him against his guardian's wishes. During the trial, a dangerous beast attacked the pair and I-Chaya was seriously wounded fighting it. Although they were saved by a relative who had followed them (actually the adult Spock himself who had gone back in time to save himself at this moment), I-Chaya needed immediate medical attention. Although Spock was able to bring a healer, the sehlat was beyond meaningful aid when he arrived. When presented with the options of a painful extended life or a merciful release, Spock logically chose to have I-Chaya euthanized. That decision marked his commitment to follow the philosophies of Surak and the Vulcan ideals of logic and strict emotional control.
