Alkar, Ves

Federation mediator. Alkar used his Lumerian empathic powers to surreptitiously transfer his negative emotions into another person, giving him the emotional strength to handle even the most difficult disputes. These “receptacles,” as Alkar described them, suffered from greatly accelerated aging and severe personality disorders, eventually dying. Alkar continued this practice for many years before Dr. Beverly Crusher discovered it during an investigation into the death of Sev Maylor, another victim of Alkar’s abuse, in 2369. He was in the process of subjecting Deanna Troi to the same treatment when he died after being cut off from access to her mind.^[1] Portrayed by Chip Lucia.
