Gral (Tellarite)

Ambassador Gral was a high-ranking Tellarite official who lived during the early 22nd century.
During his race's conflicts with the Andorians he had participated in military action against them aimed at, "driving those blue demons back into their territory" from aboard the command deck of a Tellarite cruiser. 
In November 2154, he was the head of a delegation to the planetoid Babel to settle a trade dispute with the Andorian Empire, under the auspices of the neutral United Earth. Since Babel was on the far side of Andorian space from Tellar Prime, Gral, his aid Naarg, and his delegation were transported by . Gral was full of nothing but complaints during the voyage. For instance, he didn't want the Tellarite dishes Enterprises prepared, but rather wanted to sample Earth delicacies; this was, however, an anticipated reflection of Tellar's argumentative culture.
His temperament worsened when Enterprise was diverted to rescue the survivors of an attack on the Andorian Imperial Guard warship Kumari. Gral was indignant that the Andorians were to be on the same ship as him, especially when Kumari commander Thy'lek Shran revealed that the Kumari had been destroyed by a Tellarite cruiser. Gral denied all knowledge of the attack, leading Shran to try to coerce the information out of him. Fortunately for Gral, Enterprise security forces were able to intervene and separate the squabbling parties. ()
Gral was instrumental in Captain Jonathan Archer's attempt to build a four-way alliance between United Earth, the Andorian Empire, Tellar, and to hunt a Romulan drone ship; it was he who represented his people in the effort and provided the necessary communications codes to make the operation a success. Afterward, Gral and Shran participated in a discussion to take the place of the canceled conference on Babel. ()
Gral and his staff subsequently returned to Tellar on a transport ship. ()
