Jonathan Archer

Species: male human
Rank: Captain
Serial number: SA-022-9237-CY
Date of birth: 2112
Place of origin: Upstate New York, North America, Earth
Parents: Henry and Sally Archer
Marital status: single

Played by Scott Bakula

Commanding officer, Enterprise NX-01. Jonathan Archer was born in 2112 in Upstate New York to Henry and Sally Archer. His father was a pioneering warp engineer, whose work on the Warp 5 engine deeply influenced young Jonathan's aspirations (ENT: "Broken Bow"). As a child, Archer was fascinated by space exploration and earned the Eagle Scout Award with 26 merit badges (ENT: "Rogue Planet"). He studied at Starfleet's flight school and became a test pilot in the NX program, working alongside A.G. Robinson and others to push the limits of warp technology (ENT: "First Flight"). His early distrust of Vulcans stemmed from their perceived interference in humanity's progress, particularly regarding his father's work.

Archer's career took a historic turn in 2151 when he was chosen to command Earth's first Warp 5 starship, Enterprise NX-01. His first mission involved returning a wounded Klingon, Klaang, to Qo'noS, marking Earth's first official contact with the Klingon Empire (ENT: "Broken Bow"). During this mission, he encountered the Suliban and became entangled in the Temporal Cold War, a conflict involving factions from different centuries (ENT: "Cold Front"). He was later transported to the 31st century by temporal agent Daniels, who revealed Archer's pivotal role in founding the United Federation of Planets (ENT: "Shockwave I+II").

Throughout his command, Captain Archer made first contact with numerous species, including the Andorians. In 2151, he uncovered a secret Vulcan listening post at the P'Jem monastery, earning the respect of Commander Shran and complicating Vulcan-Andorian relations (ENT: "The Andorian Incident"). The fallout from this discovery led to the destruction of P'Jem by the Andorians and the Vulcan High Command's decision to recall T'Pol from Enterprise. During a diplomatic visit to Coridan, the captain and T'Pol were kidnapped by rebels, prompting a tense rescue operation involving both Vulcan and Andorian forces. T'Pol was injured protecting a Vulcan officer, and Archer successfully advocated for her continued assignment aboard Enterprise (ENT: "Shadows of P'Jem"). He later brokered a ceasefire between Vulcans and Andorians during a territorial dispute (ENT: "Cease Fire").

In 2152, Archer defended Dr. Phlox's participation in a taboo mind meld treatment for Pa'nar Syndrome, challenging Vulcan prejudices and advocating for medical ethics (ENT: "Stigma"). That same year, he was captured and sentenced to Rura Penthe by the Klingons, but escaped with help from Enterprise (ENT: "Judgment").

Following a devastating Xindi attack on Earth in 2153, Archer led Enterprise into the Delphic Expanse to prevent a second strike. His leadership during this mission was marked by moral compromises, including torture and theft, but ultimately resulted in the destruction of the Xindi superweapon and the end of the Temporal Cold War (ENT: "The Expanse", "Countdown", "Zero Hour"). He was presumed dead but had actually been transported to 1944 Earth, where he helped restore the timeline (ENT: "Storm Front"). After returning from the Xindi mission, Archer was honored for his service and considered for promotion (ENT: "Home").

In an alternate timeline, Archer was infected by subspace parasites that erased his memories and left him incapacitated for years, with T'Pol caring for him until Phlox found a cure (ENT: "Twilight"). In another temporal anomaly, he met his descendants aboard a future version of Enterprise, learning the long-term impact of his decisions (ENT: "E²").

Archer played a key role in Vulcan's political reformation in 2154. After the bombing of Earth's embassy on Vulcan, he carried the katra of Surak and helped expose corruption within the Vulcan High Command, leading to the rediscovery of the Kir'Shara and a new era of Vulcan logic (ENT: "The Forge", "Awakening", "Kir'Shara").

Also in 2154, Archer led Enterprise through the Augment crisis, stopping genetically engineered humans from triggering war with the Klingons by destroying their biogenic weapon and defeating their leader, Malik (ENT: "Borderland", "Cold Station 12", "The Augments"). Furthermore, he helped resolve a Klingon genetic crisis caused by the augment virus, working with Dr. Phlox and Klingon scientists to develop a cure that halted the virus's spread and preserved the lives of millions (ENT: "Affliction", "Divergence"). Later, he defended Earth against xenophobic terrorists led by John Frederick Paxton, who opposed alien influence and publicly revealed the existence of a human-Vulcan hybrid child created from stolen DNA (ENT: "Demons", "Terra Prime").

Archer's personal life was marked by fleeting romantic encounters and deep, often unspoken emotional connections. During a covert mission on the pre-warp planet Akaali, he developed a brief but meaningful relationship with apothecary Riaan, whose curiosity and courage left a lasting impression (ENT: "Civilization"). On Risa, he was romantically involved with Keyla, a woman who turned out to be a Suliban operative, ambushing him during an intelligence mission (ENT: "Two Days and Two Nights"). Though never fully realized, his bond with T'Pol grew over time, especially during moments of vulnerability and shared trauma. He had a strong attachment to his Beagle, Porthos, treating the dog as a near-constant companion and source of comfort. Archer was also an avid water polo fan, often watching matches to relax and occasionally referencing strategies from games to inspire his crew (ENT: "Vox Sola"). He had a fondness for Earth cuisine and used shared meals as a way to build camaraderie aboard ship (ENT: "A Night in Sickbay").

T'Pol

Species: female Vulcan
Rank: Commander
Date of birth: 2088
Place of origin: Vulcan
Mother: T'Les, deceased
Great-grandmother: T'Mir
Daughter: Elizabeth (binary clone with Trip Tucker, deceased)
Marital status: divorced from Koss

Played by Jolene Blalock

First officer and Vulcan liaison officer aboard Enterprise NX-01. T'Pol was born in 2088 to T'Les, an instructor at the Vulcan Science Academy, and her husband. As a child, she was bonded to a Vulcan named Koss, with the expectation they would marry as adults (ENT: "Breaking the Ice", ENT: "Home"). Her early life was shaped by Vulcan tradition. By 2135, T'Pol was serving in the Vulcan Ministry of Security. During a mission to apprehend rogue Vulcan agents, she was forced to kill one of them, Jossen, which led to an emotional collapse. She underwent the Fullara procedure to suppress the memory (ENT: "The Seventh"). Despite this, she continued her career, later serving aboard the Vulcan cruiser Seleya and assisting Ambassador Soval at the Vulcan Consulate on Earth from 2149 onward (ENT: "Fusion"). Her time on Earth included an unauthorized visit to a jazz club, which stirred emotions she struggled to reconcile - an early indication of her growing internal conflict.

In April 2151, T'Pol was assigned to Enterprise NX-01 as a science officer and observer for the Vulcan High Command during humanity's first deep-space mission (ENT: "Broken Bow"). Initially met with suspicion, particularly from Commander Tucker, she gradually earned the crew's trust. Her role became pivotal during encounters with the Andorians at the monastery of P'Jem, where she was taken hostage and witnessed the exposure of a Vulcan surveillance facility (ENT: "The Andorian Incident"). This incident strained Vulcan-Andorian relations. T'Pol was recalled to Vulcan after the destruction of the monastery, but chose to remain aboard Enterprise, asserting her independence and loyalty to the crew (ENT: "Shadows of P'Jem").

In 2152, T'Pol was instrumental in helping the crew retake Enterprise from the Suliban after Captain Archer was abducted into the 31st century (ENT: "Shockwave II"). Her loyalty and competence during this crisis further solidified her place on the crew. The following year, after Earth was attacked by the Xindi, she defied Vulcan orders and resigned from the High Command to remain aboard Enterprise for its mission into the Delphic Expanse (ENT: "The Expanse").

T'Pol once recounted the story of her great-grandmother T'Mir, who made first contact with humans in 1957, revealing a personal connection to Earth long before her own assignment aboard Enterprise (ENT: "Carbon Creek"). 1 Her own past resurfaced in 2152 when she was reactivated by the Ministry of Security to apprehend Menos, the fugitive she had failed to capture years earlier. The mission forced her to confront suppressed memories and ultimately reject another Fullara procedure, choosing instead to live with the truth (ENT: "The Seventh"). Some time later, T'Pol was the only crew member immune to the effects of a nearby radiation field that caused obsessive behavior, allowing her to remain clear-headed and ultimately save the ship (ENT: "Singularity").

Privately, T'Pol struggled with emotional control, a challenge exacerbated by exposure to Trellium-D during the Xindi mission in the Expanse, which damaged her neural pathways (ENT: "Impulse"). She experimented with the substance to explore her emotions, leading to addiction and lasting neurological effects (ENT: "Damage"). Earlier, she had also experienced a forced mind meld with a rogue Vulcan named Tolaris, which infected her with Pa'nar Syndrome - a condition stigmatized by Vulcan society (ENT: "Fusion", "Stigma"). She later discovered that not only was the syndrome curable, but that she herself possessed the ability to initiate mind melds (ENT: "Stigma"). This latent telepathic ability later manifested as a bond with Trip Tucker, enabling them to communicate across distances (ENT: "Affliction", "Bound").

T'Pol began to acknowledge her feelings for Commander Tucker, leading to their first intimate encounter and marking a turning point in her emotional development (ENT: "Harbinger"). In an alternate timeline, she married Trip and had a son named Lorian (ENT: "E²"). Though this future was erased, it revealed the depth of her bond with Trip. In another timeline, she cared for Archer after he lost his memory and Earth was destroyed, showing profound emotional growth (ENT: "Twilight").

After the Xindi mission, T'Pol returned to Vulcan and briefly married Koss to help her mother, T'Les, regain her position at the Science Academy. The marriage was later annulled (ENT: "Home"). She became involved in the Vulcan Reformation movement, aiding Archer and the Syrranites in recovering Surak's katra and exposing the High Command's corruption, though her mother was killed during the uprising (ENT: "The Forge", "Awakening", "Kir'Shara").

In 2155, T'Pol and Trip discovered that a xenophobic group, Terra Prime, had created a child from their DNA. The child, Elizabeth, died due to complications, and the tragedy deeply affected them both (ENT: "Demons", "Terra Prime"). Despite this loss, T'Pol remained committed to her role aboard Enterprise and to the evolving alliance between Earth and Vulcan.

T'Pol held fast to her Vulcan dietary customs, including a preference for vegetarian meals and a strict aversion to touching food with her hands - a point she clarified over dinner with Archer and Tucker (ENT: "Broken Bow"). Although socially reserved, she developed meaningful relationships aboard Enterprise. As she adapted to human life, she began attending movie nights and found a particular appreciation for classic cinema, including the 1931 version of "Frankenstein" (ENT: "Horizon"). She taught Vulcan meditation to crewmates like Hoshi and maintained daily meditation practices to regulate her emotional balance, though her regime was challenged during her neurochemical struggles in the Expanse.

The story of T'Mir very likely is true, as evidenced by the old handbag that she keeps.

Trip Tucker

Species: male human
Full name: Charles Tucker III
Rank: Commander
Date of birth: 2121 2
Father: Charles Tucker II
Grandfather: Charles Tucker I
Sister: Elizabeth (deceased)
Daughter: Elizabeth (binary clone with T'Pol, deceased)
Clone: Sim (deceased)
Marital status: single

Played by Connor Trinneer

Chief engineer, Enterprise NX-01. Charles "Trip" Tucker III was born in 2121 and grew up in Panama City, Florida. He earned his nickname "Trip" as the third Charles Tucker in his family line. He joined Starfleet in 2139 and met Jonathan Archer around 2143 while working on the NX program, helping develop the Warp 5 engine (ENT: "First Flight"). By 2151, Tucker held the rank of commander and was appointed chief engineer aboard the NX-01 Enterprise, Earth's first Warp 5-capable starship, under Captain Archer's command (ENT: "Broken Bow").

Tucker was a brilliant but impulsive engineer, often clashing with Vulcan science officer T'Pol. Early in the mission, he became the first human male to become pregnant after a telepathic encounter with a Xyrillian woman aboard her ship (ENT: "Unexpected"). He also survived a desert ordeal with Archer after being invited to a planet by Zobral, a charismatic leader with hidden motives (ENT: "Desert Crossing"). During shore leave on Risa, Tucker and Malcolm Reed were robbed and left stranded in their underwear after being lured by alien women in disguise (ENT: "Two Days and Two Nights").

In 2152, Enterprise was recalled to Earth after a catastrophic explosion on Paraagan II, seemingly caused by the crew. Tucker helped uncover the truth: the Suliban had sabotaged the shuttle, and the incident was part of the Temporal Cold War (ENT: "Shockwave I+II"). Later that year, he was kidnapped along with a stasis pod containing a royal passenger, Kaitamma of Krios Prime. After escaping together, they shared a brief romantic encounter, and she invited him to visit her once she became ruler (ENT: "Precious Cargo"). He also crash-landed on a moon and formed a bond with an alien adversary while trying to survive (ENT: "Dawn"). Tucker's empathy and moral compass were tested when he befriended a Vissian cogenitor and encouraged them to seek autonomy. The cogenitor later died by suicide, leaving Tucker devastated and reprimanded by Archer (ENT: "Cogenitor"). He was shown playing Go with the cogenitor, highlighting his interest in quiet, contemplative games.

In 2153, Earth was attacked by the Xindi, killing 7 million people across Florida and the Caribbean Sea, including Tucker's sister, Elizabeth (ENT: "The Expanse"). This loss haunted him throughout the mission into the Delphic Expanse. During this time, he began Vulcan neuropressure sessions with T'Pol to manage his grief and insomnia, which led to a deepening emotional connection. Throughout the Xindi mission, Tucker played a vital role in engineering solutions and surviving hostile encounters. He was critically injured and only saved by harvesting brain tissue from a rapidly aging clone named Sim, who died as a result (ENT: "Similitude"). Tucker struggled with the ethics of the procedure and the emotional fallout. His relationship with T'Pol became more intimate, though complicated by her emotional repression and addiction to Trellium-D (ENT: "Harbinger"). They later formed a telepathic bond which allowed for shared dreams and subtle communication even across distances (ENT: "Bound").

In an alternate timeline, Tucker became captain of Enterprise after Archer was incapacitated, but died when the ship was destroyed (ENT: "Twilight").

After the Xindi mission, he accompanied T'Pol to Vulcan, where she entered an arranged marriage. Tucker confessed his love to her mother but chose not to interfere (ENT: "Home"). In 2154, he transferred to the Columbia NX-02, believing his feelings for T'Pol were affecting his judgment. However, the psychic bond persisted, and he returned to Enterprise to assist with repairs (ENT: "Affliction", "Divergence"). During the Terra Prime crisis, Tucker and T'Pol discovered they had a daughter, Elizabeth, cloned from their DNA by extremists. The child died due to flawed cloning, leaving both parents emotionally shattered (ENT: "Demons", "Terra Prime"). Tucker's grief echoed his earlier loss and added another layer to his complex relationship with T'Pol.

Tucker endured several distressing events during his time on Enterprise. He and Reed were stranded in a shuttlepod and believed the ship had been destroyed. The experience forged a stronger friendship between the two (ENT: "Shuttlepod One"). He was also infected with a silicon-based virus in 2154, alongside Hoshi Sato, and died briefly before being revived by incorporeal Organians (ENT: "Observer Effect").

Trip was known for his Southern charm and casual mannerisms. He often used colloquialisms and humorous anecdotes to defuse tension. He had a particular fondness for pecan pie and looked forward to the chef serving it (ENT: "Singularity").

Trip died in self-sacrifice when he defended the ship against invaders in 2161. But this happened only in Riker's simulation in "These Are The Voyages", and perhaps we are allowed not to believe in it.

Phlox

Species: male Denobulan
Full name: Dr. Phlox
Rank: none
Place of origin: Denobula
Children: 5
Marital status: married
Spouses: 3, including Feezal

Played by John Billingsley

Chief medical officer, Enterprise NX-01. Doctor Phlox was a Denobulan physician born in the late 21st century on Denobula. Raised on tales of the "evil Antarans", Phlox came to reject his society's long-held prejudices and vowed to teach tolerance to his own children - a conviction tested years later when treating an Antaran patient who initially refused his care (ENT: "The Breach").

Phlox joined the Interspecies Medical Exchange before 2149 and was stationed at Starfleet Medical in San Francisco by 2151, where he enjoyed Earth's cultural diversity and cuisine - especially Chinese food from Madame Chang's (ENT: "Broken Bow"). That year, he was chosen to serve aboard the NX-01 Enterprise under Captain Jonathan Archer as its chief medical officer. He brought with him not only a wealth of scientific knowledge (including a dozen degrees, six in interspecies veterinary medicine) but a menagerie of medicinal animals like osmotic eels and Pyrithian bats (ENT: "A Night in Sickbay").

In 2151, Phlox faced an early moral dilemma: whether to cure a fatal genetic illness among the Valakians. He opted against intervention, believing natural evolution would favor their subordinate species, the Menk - establishing an early precedent for the Prime Directive (ENT: "Dear Doctor"). That same year, he was briefly infected with Borg nanoprobes during a mission to a crashed Arctic ship, but was successfully cured before assimilation (ENT: "Regeneration").

Following the Xindi attack on Earth, Phlox treated the crew during an emotionally strained mission into the Delphic Expanse. He conducted Vulcan neuropressure sessions to help Commander Tucker cope with grief, and performed an ethically fraught procedure by creating a mimetic clone of Tucker - Sim - who sacrificed his life to provide neural tissue (ENT: "Similitude"). Phlox later admitted to having performed unethical procedures twice during his career, one of which was Sim's creation (ENT: "Damage"). When the crew was incapacitated by a trans-dimensional anomaly in 2154, Phlox remained awake due to his unique physiology and operated the ship solo, battling hallucinations and psychological isolation (ENT: "Doctor's Orders").

After the Xindi mission, Phlox returned to Earth and considered leaving Starfleet but chose to continue, recognizing the value of interspecies cooperation (ENT: "Home"). He was subsequently abducted by Klingons demanding a cure for a virus caused by augment DNA. Collaborating with Dr. Antaak, Phlox developed a treatment that stabilized the mutation - though it permanently altered many Klingons' appearances (ENT: "Affliction", "Divergence").

Phlox's species hibernated for six days annually, and he was groggy and disoriented when prematurely awakened to treat Ensign Mayweather after a climbing injury on Risa (ENT: "Two Days and Two Nights"). His personal life was equally complex. He had three wives, including Feezal, each of whom had two other husbands in accordance with Denobulan custom. He fathered five children, including a son, Mettus, from whom he was estranged due to ideological differences over species prejudice (ENT: "The Breach"). He shared a gentle rapport with Crewman Elizabeth Cutler, who admired his warmth and curiosity, though the relationship remained platonic (ENT: "Dear Doctor").

Phlox's sickbay became both laboratory and observation post, as he studied crew behavior with fascination. He often gave unsolicited advice on diet, reproduction, and romance, and practiced cultural and religious openness: praying with monks, visiting Tibetan monasteries, and attending Mass at St. Peter's Basilica (ENT: "Cold Front"). He attended movie nights aboard Enterprise, more interested in the crew's reactions than the films themselves. He was occasionally startled or amused enough to inflate his face - an involuntary Denobulan response (ENT: "Home").

Hoshi Sato

Species: female human
Rank: Ensign
Serial number: SA-037-0198-CL
Date of birth: July 9, 2129
Place of origin: Kyoto, Japan, Earth
Grandfather: Michiko Sato
Marital status: single

Played by Linda Park

Communications officer, Enterprise NX-01. Hoshi Sato was born on July 9, 2129, in Kyoto, Japan, the second of three children (ENT: "In a Mirror, Darkly II"). Her family included her parents, the two siblings and her grandfather Michio Sato, with whom she shared a particularly close bond (ENT: "Exile"). Her childhood was shaped by solitude and intensive education. She spent much of her time with private tutors, developing a remarkable aptitude for languages. By adulthood, she had mastered around forty languages, including Vulcan and Denobulan (ENT: "Two Days and Two Nights").

Her mother hoped she would become a pianist, but Hoshi chose a scientific career instead (ENT: "Damage"). She earned a black belt in Aikido and graduated second in her class in exolinguistics. During her time at Starfleet Training Command, she was briefly discharged for breaking her commanding officer's arm in a dispute over a poker game, but was reinstated on probation due to her linguistic talents (ENT: "Observer Effect"). She was certified for EM sidearms and Class 3 pulse rifles (ENT: "Fight or Flight", ENT: "Observer Effect").

In 2151, Sato was teaching at Amazon University in Brazil when Captain Jonathan Archer recruited her for the Enterprise NX-01 maiden voyage, promising exposure to alien languages. She accepted and became the ship's communications officer, translator and protocol expert. Her duties included managing the communications systems, deciphering alien languages, and advising on cultural protocols during first contact scenarios. She was the first human to learn the Klingon language, using a Vulcan linguistic database, which was instrumental for the mission to return Klaang to his homeworld (ENT: "Broken Bow"). She also helped communicate with a mysterious alien entity that had captured crew members, enabling a peaceful resolution (ENT: "Vox Sola"). Sato participated in covert missions, including one disguised as an Akaali to investigate Malurian interference on a pre-industrial planet (ENT: "Civilization"). She also temporarily served as ship's cook during a crisis, showing her adaptability (ENT: "Singularity").

Her quarters were initially on E-deck but later moved to C-deck (ENT: "Fight or Flight", ENT: "Shockwave II"). Early in the mission, she struggled with claustrophobia, space sickness and anxiety, especially after encountering a murdered alien crew aboard an Axanar vessel (ENT: "Fight or Flight") and when she boarded a creepy Klingon vessel in the atmosphere of a gas giant (ENT: "Sleeping Dogs"). She eventually overcame her fear on both occasions and facilitated the contact with the alien species. She was the only crew member small enough to crawl through Enterprise's ducts to help rescue Archer and Reed from Suliban captivity - though the situation led to a misunderstanding after she emerged shirtless (ENT: "Shockwave II"). Sato was deeply uncomfortable with the transporter, fearing molecular disintegration (ENT: "The Andorian Incident"). Her first transport experience in 2152 led to a psychological crisis when she believed she was vanishing (ENT: "Vanishing Point").

Hoshi Sato's linguistic expertise was vital during the Xindi crisis in 2153. She deciphered the Xindi language and enabled communication with the Xindi Council, helping to prevent Earth's destruction (ENT: "The Council"). She was kidnapped by Xindi-Reptilians, tortured and forced to assist in activating the superweapon, but was rescued and later helped disable it (ENT: "Countdown", "Zero Hour"). During the Xindi mission, she was engaged in intense linguistic and emotional exchange with an isolated telepathic alien named Tarquin, who requested her permanent companionship in return for vital intelligence (ENT: "Exile"). In the same year, she was infected by a mutagenic virus on an alien planet, which temporarily transformed her into a primal alien lifeform driven by instinct to find a lost city called Urquat (ENT: "Extinction"). In 2154, she was infected with a silicon-based virus alongside Trip Tucker and nearly died, only to be revived by non-corporeal Organians conducting an ethical experiment (ENT: "Observer Effect").

Outside her official duties, Sato enjoyed attending movie nights and expressed appreciation for classic cinema (ENT: "Horizon"). She disliked her grandmother's soba noodles growing up, but later developed a fondness for them (ENT: "Exile"). Despite being among others, she often felt isolated and viewed her study of languages as a way to connect with people and cultures (ENT: "Exile"). She once expressed regret about leaving her students in Brazil without saying goodbye (ENT: "Observer Effect"). Sato was romantically involved with Ravis, a Risian man, during shore leave and impressed locals with her command of their language (ENT: "Two Days and Two Nights").

Malcolm Reed

Species: male human
Rank: Lieutenant
Date of birth: September 2, 2115
Parents: Stuart and Mary Reed
Sister: Madeline Reed
Marital status: single

Played by Dominic Keating

Armory officer, Enterprise NX-01. Malcolm Reed was born on September 2, 2115, into a British family with a strong naval tradition. His grandfather was an ordnance officer in the Royal Navy, and his great-uncle died aboard HMS Clement. Reed grew up surrounded by maritime influence and could handle a boat before riding a bicycle, yet a traumatic incident in his youth - being nearly drowned by school bullies - led to lasting aquaphobia (ENT: "Silent Enemy", "Minefield"). Despite this, Reed forged his own path into Starfleet, eventually becoming Enterprise's armory officer under Captain Jonathan Archer.

Reed began service on Enterprise in 2151 at age 36. He played a key role in the ship's first mission, helping thwart a Suliban plot that threatened the Klingon Empire (ENT: "Broken Bow"). Early on, he showed tactical skill during a confrontation with a hostile alien ship, improvising defenses when standard weapons failed (ENT: "Fight or Flight"). He led a rescue team into the Vulcan monastery at P'Jem, exposing a covert listening post and rescuing Archer and T'Pol from Andorian captors (ENT: "The Andorian Incident"). That year, he also infiltrated a Tandaran internment camp disguised as a Suliban to free Archer and uncover unjust detentions of non-Cabal Suliban (ENT: "Detained"). He helped investigate a Kantare ship disguised as a populated settlement, exposing its holographic façade (ENT: "Oasis") and joined Mayweather on the first human comet walk (ENT: "Breaking the Ice").

Also in 2151, Reed and Commander Tucker were stranded aboard Shuttlepod One and believed Enterprise had been destroyed. Facing dwindling life support, Reed wrote dramatic goodbye letters to various women and revealed his difficulty forming close relationships, expressing a deep but quiet affection for the crew (ENT: "Shuttlepod One"). During shore leave on Risa, his romantic aspirations were dashed when he and Tucker were robbed after being seduced by alien women - an incident that highlighted his social awkwardness (ENT: "Two Days and Two Nights").

In 2152, Reed was instrumental in defending Enterprise during a temporal crisis involving the Suliban, and was present when Archer was taken to the 31st century by agent Daniels (ENT: "Shockwave I+II"). He nearly died disarming a mine on the ship's hull and only survived thanks to emergency surgery (ENT: "Minefield"). He and Archer were later captured while retrieving a lost communicator from a pre-warp society, nearly executed for espionage (ENT: "The Communicator").

In 2153, he embarked on the mission to stop the Xindi weapon. He faced frequent tactical dilemmas and interpersonal friction, especially with MACO personnel and Archer's increasingly bold tactics. He sparred with Major Hayes in a cathartic match that brought underlying tensions to the surface (ENT: "Harbinger"). His loyalty was tested when contacted by Section 31 - a shadowy intelligence agency he had once been recruited into. Though hesitant, Reed complied with orders and concealed the interaction from Archer, leading to mistrust (ENT: "Affliction").

Personally, Reed remained reserved and formal throughout the mission. He was uncomfortable socializing with senior officers and initially declined breakfast invitations from Captain Archer (ENT: "Minefield"). When the crew planned a surprise birthday, Hoshi struggled to find out his favorite food - even his parents didn't know. Ultimately, pineapple was chosen, despite his allergy to bromelain - a detail Reed admitted he managed through medication (ENT: "Silent Enemy"). He was also an Eagle Scout, earning 28 merit badges including one in exobiology (ENT: "Rogue Planet"). As a child, he dreamed of building a time machine to explore the future (ENT: "Future Tense").

Travis Mayweather

Species: male human
Rank: Ensign
Date of birth: 2126
Mother: Rianna Mayweather
Siblings: Paul Mayweather, also 1 sister 3
Marital status: single

Played by Anthony Montgomery

Helmsman, Enterprise NX-01. Travis Mayweather was born in 2126 aboard the ECS Horizon, a cargo vessel operated by his family. As a "boomer", a person raised in deep space, Travis developed exceptional piloting skills and spatial awareness long before joining Starfleet. These instincts made him a natural choice for helmsman when he was assigned to the Enterprise NX-01 in 2151 (ENT: "Broken Bow").

His background as a freighter-raised officer often informed his perspective in diplomatic situations. In 2151, he intervened when Enterprise responded to a distress call from the ECS Fortunate, using his understanding of freighter life to mediate between the crew and Starfleet after they captured a Nausicaan raider (ENT: "Fortunate Son"). A year later, he took a brief personal leave to visit the Horizon following the death of his father, where tensions with his brother Paul revealed lingering family strains. Despite initial resentment, Travis helped defend the ship against pirates, earning his brother's respect (ENT: "Horizon").

Throughout the mission, Travis remained a calm and competent presence at the helm, proving his ability during dangerous maneuvers like navigating a Romulan minefield and dodging orbital mines while Archer and Reed performed repairs on the hull (ENT: "Minefield"). His diplomatic tact came into play when he was the only available officer to apologize to the Kreetassans after a cultural misunderstanding - an unlikely but successful gesture (ENT: "Vox Sola"). He also helped T'Pol track a rogue Vulcan, identifying traces of bio-toxins that proved vital to the mission (ENT: "The Seventh"). Travis participated in the first human walk on a comet with Malcolm Reed, demonstrating his adventurous spirit (ENT: "Breaking the Ice") and helped resolve tensions with the lost colony of Terra Nova by advocating understanding and patience (ENT: "Terra Nova").

On a Minshara-class planet, he became disoriented by hallucinogenic pollen during a storm, falling into paranoia and believing crewmates meant him harm - but recovered thanks to their support (ENT: "Strange New World"). He was seriously hurt in a rock climbing accident on Risa, where the cliff face changed pitch mid-ascent. The local medics nearly killed him with improper treatment, but Dr. Phlox managed to save him after he was rushed back to Enterprise (ENT: "Two Days and Two Nights"). On another occasion, he was abducted by a mysterious automated station that replaced him with a clone, prompting a daring rescue by the crew (ENT: "Dead Stop"). He was also beaten while imprisoned by the Tandarans, an experience that tested his principles and broadened his view of unjust systems (ENT: "Detained").

Travis often spent his off-duty hours in his favorite part of the ship - the "sweet spot" - where gravity was perfectly balanced. He found the floating sensation soothing and used the space to reflect (ENT: "Broken Bow"). He admitted that Earth felt heavy to him due to his low-gravity upbringing and had only seen snow twice prior to joining Starfleet (ENT: "Breaking the Ice"). As a child, he once locked himself in a cargo pod and later deactivated gravity plating to jump on beds - pranks that earned stern rebukes from his parents (ENT: "Horizon").

In 2155, Travis reconnected with Gannet Brooks, a former romantic partner who had tried to dissuade him from joining Enterprise by criticizing space exploration as a colonial impulse. Their relationship rekindled briefly when she visited the ship as a reporter, and they shared intimate moments aboard Shuttlepod 1 (ENT: "Demons"). However, the reunion soured when Gannet was accused of being a Terra Prime spy. Though she later revealed she was working undercover for Starfleet Intelligence, Travis struggled to trust her again (ENT: "Terra Prime").

In ENT: "Favorite Son", Travis Mayweather mentions that his sister lives on the Horizon. When Travis visits the Horizon in ENT: "Horizon" some time later, his sister doesn't seem to exist any longer, but he suddenly has a brother named Paul.

Porthos

Species: male dog (canis lupus familiaris)
Breed: Beagle
Rank: none

Played by Prada, Breezy and Windy

Porthos was a male Beagle and the pet of Captain Jonathan Archer aboard Enterprise NX-01. He was one of four puppies named after the musketeers from Alexandre Dumas's novel (ENT: "A Night in Sickbay"). Archer adopted him at six weeks old. Porthos joined the crew when the ship launched in 2151 (ENT: "Broken Bow"). He was known for his love of cheddar cheese - despite digestive issues - and occasionally accompanied Archer on away missions, including one to the planet later known as Archer IV (ENT: "Strange New World").

In 2152, Porthos contracted a pathogen during a planetary visit and was treated by Dr. Phlox using a chameleon pituitary gland (ENT: "A Night in Sickbay"). He remained aboard Enterprise throughout its missions, including the Xindi crisis.
