Suran

Commander Suran was an officer in the Romulan military, and a co-conspirator in the to elevate Shinzon to the position of praetor of the Romulan Empire in 2379.
Suran initially attempted to plead Shinzon's case to the Romulan Senate, but was soundly rebuffed by the praetor. The entire senate was subsequently assassinated by fellow conspirator, Senator Tal'aura, via a small thalaron generator. 
Later, Suran questioned Shinzon as to why he was delaying a previously-promised attack on the Federation, an act which caused Shinzon to question Suran's loyalty. Shinzon subsequently ordered Commander Donatra, another one of his military advisors, to keep Suran under surveillance. However, when Donatra discovered that Shinzon was planning to eliminate all life on Earth using thalaron radiation, she held a covert conversation with Suran, questioning whether they truly desired to stand by as Shinzon committed genocide.
