A member of the Ba'ku community in Star Trek: Insurrection who, with Sojef and Anij, speaks for the village to Picard and helps lead its people into the hills.
Tournel is one of the Ba'ku, the six hundred people who live without machines on a planet in the Briar Patch whose rings keep them from ageing. He appears in Star Trek: Insurrection, played by Mark Deakins.
He is usually seen beside Sojef and Anij, the village's leading voices. When Picard and his officers come to ask why Data attacked the observation post, Tournel is among those who explain that the Ba'ku understand advanced technology perfectly well and chose to give it up three centuries ago.
Once the plan to remove the villagers by force is exposed, he helps organise the long walk to the caves in the mountains while the Son'a hunt the column with transporter-tagging drones.
