The Reman Viceroy in 2379.
Reman pictographs
Remans are the humanoid, at least partially telepathic, inhabitants of the planet Remus. They have been the slave labor caste of the Romulan people since at least the 22nd century and have been forced to work in the extremely hazardous dilithium mines of their world. (ENT: "United", "The Aenar")
As Remus is a tidally locked planet, the Remans live on its dark side, and thus are extremely sensitive to light. Some Remans, if not all, possess telepathic abilities similar to those shown by Vulcans and Betazoids. (Star Trek Nemesis)
According to Data, the Reman language was "a most complex language" that utilized pictographs representing certain verb roots. (Star Trek Nemesis)
Among the Romulan people Remans have historically been known as great warriors, as such Romulan senators often had Reman bodyguards in their employ to intimidate possible opponents. (ENT: "United", "The Aenar")
Remans were used by the Romulan Empire as "cannon fodder" during the Dominion War, and were often deployed in the fiercest engagements.
In 2379, the Remans usurped the power of their Romulan overlords in a military coup, installing their leader, Shinzon (in actuality a clone of Jean-Luc Picard), as the new Praetor of the Romulan Senate and thus the empire. As an act of war against the Federation, Praetor Shinzon, with his warbird the Scimitar, then attempted to destroy Earth.
However, with the destruction of the Scimitar at the Battle of the Bassen Rift, after Shinzon's supporters on Romulus turned against him, the bid for Reman superiority was prematurely ended. (Star Trek Nemesis)

Apocrypha
According to the novel trilogy Vulcan's Soul, the Remans were descended from the telepathic Vulcans who refused to give up their abilities during the exodus to Romulus, and were enslaved by the majority non-telepaths who became the Romulans.
The novel Articles of the Federation describe the Remans as being voluntarily transported to an uninhabited Klingon world, as a new homeworld a year after Shinzon's death.
The Remans made a brief appearance in the comic book series Star Trek: Countdown, a tie-in to the 2009 Star Trek film. A fleet of Reman ships captured and boarded Nero's mining ship the Narada while it was mining decalithium in the Kimben System at the farthest edge of the Romulan Empire in 2387. The Remans were planning on executing Nero's crew as well as Ambassador Spock, who was on board, before the ship was rescued by the USS Enterprise-E and Captain Data.
In Star Trek Online, which incorporates the story of Countdown, the Remans colonize Crateris, a former Romulan colony, with Donatra's blessing.
In Star Trek Online, Remans were also shown as the direct cause of the destruction of Romulus when they intentionally made the Hobus system go supernova
