Shul Torem was a Bajoran man born in (or just before) the 2310s decade. He served in the Bajoran Militia, and later in Starfleet. Shul married his wife, Aba in the year 2344. Sergeant Shul was one of the first Bajoran deputies taken on by Constable Odo after the end of the Occupation of Bajor, when the station was brought under Starfleet administration in 2369 and was designated Deep Space 9. Shul resided on the station with his wife. Shul was well regarded by Odo, and liked to work the night-side shift as he liked the atmosphere on the Promenade late at night.
