He had a wife named Naara. Their two children are named Piral and Jaina. Sadly, three months into Naara's third pregnancy, she contracted anaprolean fever, causing her to have a miscarrage and the child - a girl - was lost. Had the child survived, Degra and Naara would have named her Trinia. Degra loved his children and would do anything to protect them.

Circa 2152, the Xindi Council learned from the Sphere Builders that humans were going to destroy them in the 26th century. Degra agreed to design the prototype weapon, devoting years to it. In 2153, Degra and his team completed the first stage of the planet-destroying weapon project. When the first weapon arrived in the Sol System, Degra and the other council members watched as the Reptilian pilot fired the weapon, killing seven million people. As he watched the telemetry, a saddened Degra asked himself, "How many of those seven million were children?". The Xindi Council is a governmental body from the Star Trek universe. ...

Several months afterwards, Degra and his colleagues constructed the second weapon and planned to test it in the Calindra system. The test appeared to be successful, but the weapon failed to destroy one of the system's moons. Degra's hope to see what went wrong was dashed when the weapon was taken by an unknown ship.

Shortly afterwards, Degra and his crew were captured by the starship Enterprise (NX-01). While on board, Captain Archer launched an elaborate ruse to trick Degra to reveal the location of the weapon. Degra gave them the coordinates of the star system Azati Prime, but he was tipped off. Archer then launched another ruse, making it seem that the Enterprise reached Azati Prime. Degra protested, claiming that the Xindi defense perimeter would destroy the Enterprise - and accidentally exposing the location of the weapon. Right afterwards, Degra and his crew's memories were erased. The Enterprise (NX-01) is a starship in the Star Trek fictional universe commanded by Captain Jonathan Archer. ...

Three weeks later, Captain Archer reached Azati Prime on a suicide mission to destroy the weapon, but was captured. He tried to convince Degra that the weapon's purpose was false. Three days later, Degra and Janar boarded the Enterprise to find evidence that they were misled by the Sphere Builders. During this time, a Reptilian warship arrived and demanded that Degra undock. Degra and the Enterprise succeeded in disabling the ship. However, to prevent the exposure of his new alliance with Archer, Degra destroyed the Reptilian ship, killing all 22 crewmembers.

This incident led to the end of Degra's life in February 2154. When Archer confronted the Council, the Primates, Arboreals, and Reptilians voted and agreed to postpone the weapon launch. Shortly afterwards, Commander Dolim met Degra in his quarters and stabbed him. As Degra died, Dolim vowed that "when the humans have been eliminated, when the council is replaced by Reptilian rule," he would find Degra's family and kill them (fortunately, Dolim was killed by Jonathan Archer before this threat could be carried out).
