This is a list of recurring characters from the live-action science fiction television series Star Trek: Enterprise, which originally aired on UPN between 2001 and 2005.
Some of the reoccurring guest actors include Jeffrey Combs (who played the Andorian Shran),[1] Vaughn Armstrong (Earth Admiral Maxwell Forrest),[2] Randy Oglesby (Degra), Rick Worthy, and Scott MacDonald.
Reed's great-uncle was in the British Royal Navy on Earth, but was killed in action while chief engineer of HMS Clement (a submarine that struck a mine, a leftover from an unmentioned war).
Reed has an almost suicidal sense of self-sacrifice, and can also be consumed at times with regret over paths not followed in his love life, due to his inability to "get close" to women; he and Charles Tucker III have at least one ex-girlfriend in common.
He believed he had left Section 31 behind when he was posted aboard Enterprise in 2151; however, in 2154, he was reactivated as an agent during a mission to recover Phlox, who had been kidnapped by a group of Klingons trying to stop a genetically engineered virus running rampant in the Empire.
His quarters, which contained several time travel-related devices, was locked down and banned to all crew members, except in cases of emergency involving the Temporal Cold War.
Typically, Archer would walk through a door on the Enterprise and suddenly find himself in an unfamiliar location and time period; Daniels would then appear to talk to him.
Daniels pulled off a similar feat on a much larger scale in the episode "Storm Front": When the Enterprise returned to Earth after the battle with the Xindi, the crew discovered that they had arrived during World War II.
In the first-season finale, "Shockwave", Daniels transported Archer to an altered version of the 31st century in which the United Federation of Planets had never existed.
In the third-season episode "Carpenter Street", he sent Archer and T'Pol back to the year 2004 to investigate why some Xindi Reptilians were on Earth in that time period.
He was also seen in the episode "Azati Prime", in which he transported Archer into the future—placing him aboard a future starship called the Enterprise-J, to inform him about the Sphere Builders and their relationship to the Xindi.
He used his last remaining strength to transport Archer and the Enterprise to Earth in the year 1944 to stop an alien race from changing history and allowing the Nazis to win World War II.
The character was introduced as the leader of the elite Military Assault Command Operations (MACO) team assigned to Enterprise when the ship was sent to the Delphic Expanse.
In the penultimate third-season episode, "Countdown", Hayes and three MACO soldiers beam onto a Xindi ship to rescue Ensign Hoshi Sato.
Hernandez is the second Starfleet captain given command of a starship in Earth's Warp 5 program, and is assigned to Columbia (NX-02), the sister ship of Enterprise (NX-01).
[19] He is emotional, quick to anger, prone to risk, daring and excitable, as well as being fiercely loyal to friends and those he feels he owes—the antithesis to the Vulcans.
Later, Shran repaid this debt as well, by leading his starship into the Delphic Expanse to help Archer and his crew steal a prototype super-weapon constructed by the Xindi.
To avenge the deaths of his crew and Talas, Shran demanded to fight the ambassador in ritual combat, but Captain Archer claimed the right to substitute himself in the Tellarite's place.
Shran's ultimate fate is unknown, although the novel leaves open the possibility that he could rejoin the Andorian military (as the series itself suggested).
In the novel The Romulan War: Beneath the Raptor's Wing, also by Michael A. Martin, the word Thy'lek is said to be the Aenar form of Shran's name.
[23] He is the great-grandfather of 24th century cyberneticist Dr. Noonien Soong, who created the androids Data, Lore, B-4 (all portrayed by Spiner), and Juliana Tainer.
He maintained that he himself and humanity in general had learned the lessons of the Eugenics Wars and should not continue hiding behind those events when there was progress to be made now that the technology had matured and was much more practicable.
While director of the Starfleet Medical facility Cold Station 12, Soong stole nineteen genetically enhanced Augment embryos placed in stasis after the end of the Eugenics Wars.
Starfleet caught up with Soong when he was off on a side trip, and imprisoned him ten years after the theft, leaving the Augments stranded with just his teachings and the physical necessities for survival.
Soong found, to his dismay, that his Augments had taken his teachings to an extreme, and he escaped from the Bird-of-Prey to help Enterprise stop them from starting a war with the Klingons.
He vows to find perfection by creating artificial life through cybernetics, noting that it might take "a generation or two", a vision apparently passed on to his progeny, specifically Noonien Soong.
Jonathan Archer, Captain of the Starship Enterprise, is not particularly fond of the Ambassador as he appears to play a major role in the Vulcan discouragement of Earth's deep space program.
Soval is skeptical of this claim, and discourages Enterprise from entering the Delphic Expanse, the mysterious region of space the Xindi call home.
After Enterprise's MACOs had taken control of the situation and the Andorians had stood down, the Tellarite ambassador's aide grabbed Talas' weapon and shot her in the shoulder.
In 2152 he defended Captain Jonathan Archer after Ambassador Soval accused him of abducting Subcommander T'Pol by not meeting a rendezvous with a Vulcan ship as ordered.
