Tuvok is the second officer and tactical officer of the USS Voyager. He is one of the few members of the crew who seems to occasionally have a clue, so naturally hardly anyone follows his advice. Tuvok is a Vulcan, so he supposedly can't lie (if Data's assessment of Vulcans is to be believed[1]), but he still managed to infiltrate the Maquis and become first officer of Chakotay's ship somehow.
He did prove to be a loyal and at least somewhat competent officer for Captain Janeway. Unlike the rest of the crew, he seems to be the only one, other the Tom Paris, to not immediately accept Neelix with open arms. This of course meant that Neelix decided to make him his constant friendship project much to the annoyance of Tuvok himself. If there are any doubts about Tuvok's distain about Neelix when Tuvok is wanting to test his emotional self control his go to plan is to put himself in the same room as a holographic copy of Neelix. This comes to a head when through a transporter 'accident' he ended merged into a gestalt entity with Neelix. This situation came to a head when the new being, Tuvix, was forcibly separated back to Tuvok and Neelix by Janeway.
Throughout the journey home Tuvok was able put his investigative skills to work as the chief of security for the ship. He was able to solve at least two murders. On the second one however he did make the mistake of mind melding with a homicidal psychopath. He was also able to not only detect a saboteur and spy on board the ship he set up a successful operation to flush him out on the ship all despite the incompetent interference from 'expert' investigative reporter, Neelix.
At the end of the series one of the things that pushed a now Admiral Janeway to violate the Temporal Directive was his succumbing to the Vulcan equivalent of alzheimer's disease.
