List of unnamed Talosians.

Ancestors []

These original Talosians were the first to come underground on Talos IV. Over the generations they concentrated on developing their mental power, and eventually forgot how to repair the machines left behind by these ancestors. Those descendants became stagnant, and instead chose to relive the lives left behind in the thought record, over and over. (TOS: "The Cage")

This character was only mentioned in dialogue.

Magistrate[]

Observers []

In all, thousands of observers were probing the thoughts of Christopher Pike following his arrival and captivity on Talos. The first observer then reported to the magistrate that "we find excellent memory capacity." (TOS: "The Cage ", "The Menagerie, Part II")

These thousands were only mentioned in dialogue.

The Keeper, along with three other observers, appeared in a photograph that was displayed on the wall of a bar at Starbase 25 in 2381. (LD: "An Embarrassment Of Dooplers")
