Hodin

Ambassador Hodin was the leader of the Gideon Council on the planet Gideon. He had a daughter named Odana.

Gideon's people were immune to disease, leading to an intolerable explosion in the planet's popluation explosion. In order to reduce the popluation, Hodin had Odana meet with Captain James T. Kirk on a mock-up of his starship, the USS Enterprise. Using Kirk's blood, Odana contracts Vegan choriomeningitis, which Kirk had been cured of but whose organisms he still retained. The disease would be fatal and his daughter's blood would be used to spread it among the inhabitants of Gideon to reduce the popluation. Although Doctor Leonard McCoy is able to cure Odana, she is still able to infect her people. She is returned to her planet, and Hodin's plan proves to be successful. (TOS: "The Mark of Gideon")

Hodin was played by actor David Hurst.
