Matrix alien appear to Janeway as Janeway
Janeway was the married father of two daughters, Kathryn and Phoebe. (VOY: "Coda") When Kathryn was a child, she spilled Phoebe's paints on the floor and blamed the mess on the dog. Upon discovering the mess, he told her, "Come on, Kate. Make something great out of that mess." (PRO: "Mindwalk")
When Kathryn was a child, Janeway and his wife took their daughters on backpacking trips. They considered it was important that they should all keep a connection to their pioneer roots– no bed, no replicator. (VOY: "Resolutions") When Kathryn was nine, the her father hiked the north rim of the Grand Canyon, which he called "Earth's biggest ditch." (VOY: "Imperfection")
When Kathryn was in high school she left their home late at night on occasion, and years later could recall tiptoeing past her parents' bedroom. (VOY: "The Swarm")
The admiral died under the ice cap of Tau Ceti Prime in 2358. (VOY: "Coda") His widow was still alive as of 2378. (VOY: "Author, Author")
In 2373, an alien that occupied Captain Janeway's brain appeared to her in the form of her father. (VOY: "Coda")

Background information[]
Referenced in Janeway's personnel file
Vice Admiral Janeway, as assumed by the matrix alien, was played by Len Cariou. He was described in the script as "a man in his 50's, dressed in a Starfleet Admiral's uniform of some fifteen years ago. He is a pleasant-looking man with grey eyes and salty hair."
Janeway's first name was displayed though illegible in Captain Janeway's personnel file in "The Killing Game" (see the talk page.)
StarTrek.com listed his first name as Edward, sourced from series co-creator Jeri Taylor's Mosaic. [1](X)
Despite having died in the 2350s, the alien impersonating Vice Admiral Janeway wears a 2370s combadge. This was also the only appearance of Vice Admiral Janeway's unique uniform design.
Apocrypha[]
Admiral Janeway's death was also featured in Mosaic, a novel by Jeri Taylor. Taylor created the character of Janeway, and established in the book that his first name was Edward and that he drowned during the testing of a prototype ship, an accident which also claimed the life of Kathryn Janeway's fiancé. Admiral Janeway also appears in The Lives of Dax short story "The Music Between the Notes".
In the anthology series Distant Shores, the framing story looks at Admiral Kathryn Janeway experiencing what appears to be a vision of Seska encouraging her to look back on her life, eventually apparently offering Janeway the chance to avoid Voyager being trapped in the Delta Quadrant in the first place, but she eventually rejects this illusion, recognizing it as another attack by this creature.
