List of unnamed Metrons (TOS: "Arena").

Colony []

Metron colony

A Metron colony

This colony was encountered by the USS Enterprise in 2267. (TOS: "Arena")

Representative []

Metron

A Metron representative

This representative, born circa 770 AD (Earth calendar), was encountered in 2267 by Captain James T. Kirk. They, alongside others of their kind, captured Kirk and the Gorn captain, transporting them to a planet where they engaged in mortal combat. The loser and his ship would be destroyed.

When Kirk was victorious, but refused to kill the Gorn, this Metron appeared and was surprised by Kirk's compassion, as he believed Humans to be a violent race. They freed both Kirk and the Gorn and their ships. The Metron then commented that, in a thousand years, Humans would be advanced enough for the Metrons to make contact with them.

The Metron was a tall, youthful-looking blond male, who wore a silver toga and looked rather like a Greek god. (TOS: "Arena")

This Metron was played by Carole Shelyne, while their voice was provided by Vic Perrin. Similarly to the Talosians in "The Cage", this Metron was played by a female actress and voiced by a male actor to give them an androgynous appearance, despite being specifically referred to as a male in the script.

According to The Jack Kirby Collector #28, comic book artist Jack Kirby was heavily influenced by the look of this Metron when creating the character of Adam Warlock in Fantastic Four v1 #65-67.
