Romulan Commanders are known for supreme control over their crews and themselves. In the Star Trek: The Next Generation episode, Face of the Enemy, actress Carolyn Seymour plays Toreth - a woman who must face off with Starfleet officer Troi whose undercover as a Romulan secret service agent. Troi (Marina Sirtis) plays a kind of CIA and KGB mash-up, an agent of the sinister Tal Shiar.
Toreth has a personal grudge against the Tal Shiar - her father was executed by them for his less than mainstream political views. Though Troi has to do her duty as a Starfleet officer, it's clear she's pained when she much clash with such a principled woman as Toreth, who under difference circumstances, may just be someone the Counselor would call fond acquaintance or even friend.
