Description
Tovar is a Gorn, you know, a big lizard. Tovar is even large for a gorn. He has massive heavily clawed hands, lots of teeth, and has sensory abilities akin to Terran sharks. A pure carnivore, he is also quiet, and speaks little. As a Gorn clan head, he has a number of friends, and he has no xenophobic tendencies. Loyal in the extreme, he is an elder gorn. He is a historian and researcher into the Progenetor races, especially the Zacathian, from whom the Gorn came.

History
In Federation service since the Gorn joined the Federation, Zees has served in many capacities, the longest single posting being the XO position on the Chandley Class Attack Cruiser Patton.

He has boxes full of medals and commendations, which he keeps for his great great great grandchildren to play with.

His latest assignment was in Star Fleet Research, where he worked on the development and refit of the USS Victory A, including the design of the research engines. (Classified)

Zees disappeared from the starship Missouri, apparently replaced by a Zacathian who is now being held in the brig.
