Vkruk was a Reman male who served as the Reman Viceroy to Praetor Shinzon in 2379. In the 2350s, Vkruk worked in the mines on Remus along with the rest of his people, under the boot of the Romulan Star Empire. When the young Shinzon was deposited into the mines, Vkruk took it upon himself to protect the boy from the other Remans and Romulan guards. Vkruk fought alongside Shinzon during the Dominion War, including the mission to Goloroth. (ST - Tales of the Dominion War short story: "Twilight's Wrath")
