Star Trek: 10 Things You Didn't Know About Tuvok

10. The Age Of Logic

Just how old does a Vulcan have to be before they get any damn respect around here anyway? 

Tuvok was born in 2264, which puts him a little above the average age of the crew on Voyager. His Starfleet career began decades before even his oldest colleague attended Starfleet Academy, though a quick fifty-year sabbatical delayed his progress through the ranks.

His age remained a matter of debate while he served aboard Voyager, as he preferred to keep his private life, well, private. Paris and Kim attempted to figure out how old he was, though neither were particularly close. 

Captain Janeway came the closest, correctly identifying his date of birth - although somewhere along the way, records must have scrambled, as the year of birth seemed up for debate. She congratulated him on nearing 'the big three digits' in 2376 - despite the man having already achieved said milestone twelve years prior.

This is particularly egregious when one considers Tuvok and Janeway's shared experience, via a mind-meld, that deposited them on the Excelsior in 2293 - during which experience Tuvok explicitly states he was 29 years old. 

Still, what's a little temporal drift between friends?
