Leader []

This male was the leader of a group of individuals who took over the USS Voyager in 2374.

He appeared in nightmares of Kathryn Janeway, Tuvok, Tom Paris, and Harry Kim with the result that Kim did not woke up from his nightmare. More and more crewmembers of the Voyager fell asleep until only The Doctor and Chakotay were awake. After Chakotay found the hiding place of the aliens and the transmitter they were using and confronted the leading alien during another communal dream, he withdrew and released the crew of the Voyager.

This alien was played by guest star Mark Colson.
