Salak was born in Raal province on Vulcan on January 8th, 2359 to his parents; Vorak and T'Plar. Their first child, he spent the early years of his life on his homeworld. When Salak was five, his fathers promotion meant that the household swapped the warm deserts of Vulcan for the cold icy moon of Andoria, where his sister T'Pel was born two years later.
