Biography[]
Jor Brel ("Jor" appeared to be a title rather than a name) was a member of the Enaran race. The species had a relatively low level of technology but enhanced telepathic abilities. He was part of a group encountered by USS Voyager who accepted a ride home aboard the faster ship. During the journey, Brel used his telepathic abilities to help Janeway operate a musical instrument, apologising when it became clear she hadn't intended him to do so.
However, the older Enarans were hiding a secret. Decades earlier, the Enaran authorities had decided to eradicate the regressives, a culture who lived outside the cities and shunned modern technology. They had been forcibly relocated, supposedly to a colony but in reality massacred, with those who resisted being publicly executed. The incident had been buried, with the official history stating that the regressives had all died of disease because of their lack of medical knowledge.
When Torres began experiencing the memories of Korenna Mirell, another member of the group, during her sleep, she, Janeway and Tuvok spoke to Brel about it. Brel acknowledged it was probably the result of Enaran telepathy but claimed that Torres was not experiencing real events but a narrative formed by her own mind from different people's experiences. In truth, he had realised what Mirell was doing. That night, Mirell died in her quarters, probably murdered by Brel and the other older Enarans, but not before showing Torres the whole story.
As Voyager arrived in orbit around Enara, Torres publicly confronted Brel in the mess hall about both the massacre and the death of Mirell. Brel dismissed her claims and quickly left the room. Janeway believed Torres and cut all ties with the Enarans, intending to leave as soon as they were off the ship. Before they did so, Torres shared Korenna's memories with one of the younger Enarans, Jessen, and encouraged her to find out the truth.
