Biography
Spock was the half-human and half-Vulcan son of Ambassador Sarek and his wife Amanda Grayson.
He also had a half-brother named Sybok from his father's previous marriage to a Vulcan priestess. After Sybok's mother had died, both him and Spock came to be raised as brothers. (Star Trek V: The Final Frontier)
As a child, Spock was betrothed to T'Pring in accordance with traditional Vulcan marriage procedure. (TOS: Amok Time)
In 2237, at the age of seven, Spock decided prematurely, and without parental knowledge or approval, to undertake the kahs-wan in the Vulcan wilderness in an attempt to prove himself. His pet sehlat, I-Chaya, tagged along against his master's wishes and defended Spock from a le-matya. The intervention of an older cousin saved Spock from the le-matya but I-Chaya was left badly wounded. Faced with the choice of a painfully extended life or a peaceful release for I-Chaya, Spock logically opted for the latter. That decision marked his choice of following Surak's philosophies of logic and emotional control. In 2269, the accidental creation of an alternate timeline created a universe in which Spock was killed in his childhood. Using the Guardian of Forever, Spock returned to the Vulcan of his youth and assumed the role of Selek, the nearly-forgotten cousin who saved his life during the kahs-wan ordeal. (TAS: Yesteryear)
As a boy, he often disappeared into the mountains for days at a time and refused to tell his father where he had gone or what he was doing. He even came to ignore Sarek who had forbade his son from such trips and came to silntly endure any punishment given to him for his disobedience. (TNG: Unification I)
Following the end of the Federation-Klingon War in 2257, Spock took an unspecified leave of absence from Starfleet. He had accumulated a number of months during the five-year mission which, according to Pike, took a toll on the whole crew as well as Spock. Upon reviewing Spock's personal log entries on the Enterprise, Michael Burnham learned that Spock had been having visions ever since he was a boy, and that he had had premonitions of the mysterious red bursts that the USS Discovery was likewise investigating, which Spock believed were related to his childhood visions of 'the Red Angel'. (DIS: Brother)
After the battle against Control, Spock returned to his position as science officer aboard the Enterprise in 2258. He was sworn to secrecy, along with the rest of the crew of Pike's starship, to never again speak the name of his adoptive sister or the ship she served on aloud in public again. Four months after the Discovery's departure, the seventh red burst appeared near Terralysium, confirming to Spock that his sister had made it to the future. (DIS: Such Sweet Sorrow, Part 2)
In 2259, T'Pring, his betrothed, proposed marriage to him, which he accepted. (SNW: Strange New Worlds)
Later that year, the pirate Captain Angel, lover of Spock's half-brother Sybok, came aboard, manipulating Spock at an attempt to free Sybok from the Ankeshtan K'til Retreat he was currently confined to. Angel ultimately took control of the Enterprise and tried to blackmail T'Pring into releasing Sybok, using Spock as leverage. Spock and Christine Chapel foiled her plans by pretending to be in love with each other and temporarily ending his betrothal to T'Pring. They renewed their bonding afterwards. (SNW: The Serene Squall)
