Background

his life

CHILDOOD AND EARLY YEARS

Spock was born in 2230 in the city of Shi'kahr on Vulcan by the Human Amanda Grayson and the Vulcan Sarek.
For an unspecified period of time he grew up with his half-brother Sybok - who later diceded to leave, rejecting Surak's principles of logic – and, according to Amanda, he had often been teased in his childood for his human eritage in an attemp to provoke an emotional response in him.
Probably because of all the teasing he had been subjected to, at the age of seven he decided to undertake the kahs-wan – a maturity ritual carried out in the desert – though he was still too young and without his parents knowledge. During it he almost was killed by a le-matya, a big poisonous feline, but was saved by the sacrifice of his pet sehlat, I-chaya, and by the providential arrive of his cousin Selek. I-chaya was left badly wounded and Spock had to decide if either give him a quick death or the long painful life that was going to wait him because of the venom. In the end Spock logically opted for the former and decided to follow Surak's principles of logic.
As a child Spcok was also bethroed to T'pring, with whom he will later break the bond in the events of the TOS episode "Amok Time".


STARFLEET AND LATER YEARS

In the early 2250s, Spock was commissioned as a Starfleet officer with the serial number S 179-276 SP and held a A/ computer expert classification.
By 2254 he was assigned to the USS Enterprise and will remain there for nearly fourty years until 2293. He was first assigned under the command of Captain Christopher Pike as science officer for over eleven years (eleven years, four months and five days) and then under Captain James T. Kirk when Pike was promoted to fleet captain, becoming also his first officer after Gary Mitchell's death.

After the five-years mission of exploring under the command of Captain Kirk was completed, Spock went back to Vulcan and decided to undergo the kolinhar ritual to purge himself from all his emotions, however he terminated his training both for personal reasons and to help the now Admiral James T. Kirk in the V'Ger crisis.
Spock was later promoted to captain and assigned to train cadets on the Enterprise, which had been retired from active service and used for training.

In 2285 he ceded command to Admiral Kirk during the mission to keep the Genesis Device out of Khan Noonien Singh's hands, and in which he died sacrificing himself to repair the Enterprise's plasma conduits in order to save the rest of the crew. After his funeral service, his body was buried by being fired into spalce inside a torpedo casing and landed on the Genesis Planet – newly formed by the action of the Genesis Device. Here it underwent a process of accellerated cellular regeneration which resulted in Spock being reborn as a child whose mind was a complete blank. As he's retrieved by Kirk and the rest of the Enterprise's senior staff, he's then brought to Vulcan, where his body is reunited with his katra (the Vulcan soul and consciousness) which Spock had previously placed in Dr. Leonard McCoy before sacrificing himself.

Later, in 2293, he committed Captain Kirk to the negotiations with the Klingon Empire after the Praxis disaster which had left Qo'nos with only 50 Earth standard years of oxygen left. When Kirk and McCoy were put under trial and imprisoned for the assassination of Chancellor Gorkon, Spock took command of the Enterprise and lead the investigation regarding the murder, later leading a rescue mission to get back Kirk and McCoy from the penal colony asteroid Rura Penthe, and helping to stop an assassination attempt to the Federation President.

Finally, in 2387, the events that will lead to the creation of an alternate reality: when a star going supernove threatens to destroy Romolus, the now Ambassador Spock promise the romulans that he would save their planet by injecting the star with red matter and therefore creating a black hole that would swallow the explotion. However he arrived too late, Romolus was destroied and the Romulan Nero attacked his ship to get revenge for what had happened, resulting in both their vessels being pulled into the black hole and ending up in past, effectively creating an alternative timeline.
Nero later managed to capture Spock's ship and get in possession of the red matter and later marooned him on Delta Vega so that he could watch his own planet being destroied like it had happened to Romolus.
On Delta Vega, Ambassador Spock meets the younger counterpart of James T. Kirk – marooned there by the younger counterpart of Spock himself – and helped him reaching the nearest Starfleet outpost where they met the Montgomery Scott of that reality.
After the Enterprise finally managed to defeat the Narada and Nero, Ambassador Spock returned to Earth were he meets with his younger counterpart, and, at the latter remark of having decided to go back to his people to help the recustruction of their race, the older Spock convinced him to remain in Starfleet.

The past of the alternate reality Spock is for the most part supposed to be the same as his original version: the arrival of Nero and older Spock didn't influence the developping of his childood like it had happened with the alternative Kirk – who had lost his father because of Nero.
The real susbasntial difference only unreveal during the movie happenings when Vulcan emplodes because of the red matter injected by Nero in the planet's core.
