Biography
Spock II is a forty-foot clone cultivated from genetic samples taken from the Vulcan Science Officer Mister Spock. He was created by the giant human scientist Stavos Keniclius V, himself a fifth generation clone. Keniclius had searched the Alpha Quadrant for years attempting to find the perfect specimen for cloning; one that would assist him in his plan to impose peace upon what he believed to be a warring galaxy. Spock II was created in the underground environs of the planet Phylos, populated by the Phylosians - a species on the edge of extinction.

Unfortunately, the process that created Spock II nearly killed the first Spock, leaving him in a vegetative state. Spock's commanding officer, Captain James T. Kirk pleaded with the clone to abandon Stavos' mad plan of imposed peace, appealing to the Vulcan's inherent sense of reason and logic. As the clone embodied all of the quintessential elements of the true Spock, it understood and agreed with Kirk's assessment that peace cannot be forced upon any culture, no matter how noble the cause may seem. Spock II performed a Vulcan mind touch with his inert progenitor which healed him, bringing Spock I out of his coma. Spock II agreed to remain on Phylos to aid Stavos and help the dying Phylosians rebuild their culture. ( The Infinite Vulcan)
