Subcommander T'Rul was a Romulan officer temporarily assigned to the USS Defiant, in 2371, to operate and guard a cloaking device her government had loaned to the Federation for covert exploration of the Gamma Quadrant.
Upon being introduced by Benjamin Sisko to the senior staff of Deep Space 9 she bluntly told him that she "was not here to make friends".
Several hours after the Defiant entered the Gamma Quadrant, the starship (or at least its subspace variance) was detected by two Jem'Hadar attack ships. T'Rul was aware of this phenomenon that had been a closely guarded Romulan secret. On her advice, the ship dropped out of warp. After the Dominion ships began sweeping the area with an anti-proton scan. T'Rul admitted that she was unsure if it could penetrate the cloak.
After the Defiant was boarded by the Jem'Hadar, T'Rul was able to kill one of the invaders using her disruptor. After doing so, she was injured by another Jem'Hadar soldier.
Along with other members of the Defiant, T'Rul was taken to the Founder homeworld and placed in Borath's elaborate simulation of Dominion treaty negotiations as the Starfleet officers. During the simulation, she was incensed that the Romulan government had been excluded from the peace talks and threatened war.
T'Rul and the others were freed from the simulation when Odo and Kira Nerys discovered them. She later returned to the Alpha Quadrant with the others. (DS9: "The Search, Part I and "Part II")
Background Information
It is unknown what happened to T'Rul after the Defiant returned to Deep Space 9. Perhaps the Romulans were satisfied with the security precautions to keep the cloaking device safe aboard the Defiant and T'Rul returned to Romulus.
T'Rul appears in the Prophecy and Change story "The Devil You Know". In 2374, she was assigned to Project Blue Sky, a combined Federation-Romulan scientific think tank. In the non-canon story, she recounts how her husband and two children were part of a diplomatic delegation on Cardassia Prime at the time the Romulan Empire declared war on the Dominion. A transmission intercepted by Starfleet Intelligence revealed they were among several Romulans executed by the Dominion.
T'Rul's line - "the cloaking device is operating within normal parameters" - was later used by other characters later in the series, such as by Jadzia Dax in "The Die is Cast" and by Patricia Tallman's character in "The Way of the Warrior".
