->'''Played by:''' W. Morgan Sheppard
The officer in charge of the Rura Penthe penal colony.
* CoolAndUnusualPunishment: Literally; his favored method of executing rebellious or lazy prisoners is to have them stripped naked and thrown out onto the surface of Rura Penthe, where they freeze to death in less time than it takes for him to give his big speech to the new arrivals. It's implied that he makes a point of doing this every time new inmates arrive.
* JustBetweenYouAndMe: Decides that since he's about to kill Kirk and [=McCoy=], he can afford to give away the identity of the mastermind behind the conspiracy. In a subversion, he actually gets prevented from doing this by the ''Enterprise'' crew, who beam their crew-mates aboard before he can spill the beans.
