List of unnamed Talosians.
Magistrate (The Keeper)
The Keeper of Talos IV (2254)
The Keeper was magistrate of the dying Talosian race and charged with the upkeep of the Talosian menagerie on Talos IV. The Talosian race had been almost become extinct due to a nuclear holocaust that left their planet virtually uninhabitable and killed most of the species.
The menagerie was a test to determine the intelligence and resourcefulness of its captives. The Talosians needed to find a species to re-colonize their planet. The Keeper used illusions and telepathic suggestions to imprison and test the subjects.
In 2254, the Talosians imprisoned Captain Christopher Pike. The Keeper and two others tried several illusions on Pike to make him interested in Vina. She was a human that had crashed landed on their planet causing extension injuires that deformed her, but through illusion she assumed a beautiful appearence. THe keeper wanted Captain Pike and Vina as breeding stock for a new, stronger race to repopulate the planet. He passed their tests and escaped, but the Keeper determined that the human race was unsuitable due to their strong will and refusal to submit to captivity. After the Keeper showed Pike Vina's true appearance, the Keeper agreed to take care of Vina and provide her with an illusionary Captain Pike to keep her company. (TOS: "The Cage")
Many years later, Pike was disfigured and crippled after saving trainees from an accident. A wheelchair that was tuned to his brain could use blinking light signals to respond to simple queries in the affirmative or negative, but that was the extent to which he could communicate. The Keeper agreed to allow him to live on Talos, and gave him the illusion of his healthy self and reunited him with Vina. (TOS: "The Menagerie, Part I", "The Menagerie, Part II")
- The Keeper was played by Meg Wyllie. Her vocals were performed by Malachi Throne. However, for "The Menagerie, Part I" & "The Menagerie, Part II", the vocals were performed by Vic Perrin, who has a much higher pitched voice than Throne. When "The Cage" was first released on VHS, the film cut from "The Menagerie" was reintegrated, but only in black-and-white. In the non-color footage you hear Throne's voice, and in the color footage, you hear Perrin's.
First Talosian
1st Talosian
The first Talosian was part of a group that maintained the Talosian menagerie on Talos IV.
He along with the Keeper attempted to determine what species they could use to recolonize their planet. They would use illusions to test the subjects. After he examined the Enterprise's ship records, he learned that humans possess a strong hatred of captivity, and were unsuitable for breeding.
The 1st Talosian was played by Georgia Schmidt. Her vocals were performed by Robert C. Johnson.
Second Talosian
2nd Talosian
The Second Talosian was part of three Talosians that captured different species to determine if they could be used to recolonize their planet. After studying the Enterprise's ship records, he determined that humans could not stand captivity and would be too dangerous to use for the recolonization.
- The 2nd Talosian was played by Serena Sande.
