Thasian

A Thasian (2266)

This individual, who appeared on the bridge of USS Enterprise, was a member of a race of non-corporeal, psionically-powerful beings believed to be native to the planet Thasus.

A Human named Charles Evans, the only survivor of a crash landing on the planet Thasus, was given considerable psionic powers so that he could survive on their planet.

After Charlie abused his powers and caused trouble for the crew of the Enterprise, the Thasian appeared as a green translucent, floating Human face. They described themselves as "having taken their form centuries ago," so that they could communicate with the crew. The Thasians undid all the damages caused by Charlie, and transported him from the Enterprise to their own ship and returned to Thasus. (TOS: "Charlie X")

The Thasian was portrayed by Abraham Sofaer. They were described in the script as "Thasian" and in the end credits as "The Thasian".
The alien character who appears at the end of "Charlie X" was originally to have taken the appearance of an elderly woman. In a memo that Associate Producer Robert H. Justman wrote Producer Gene Roddenberry (on 15 April 1966, while the episode had the working title "Charlie Is God"), Justman commented, "Insofar as the old woman goes, I would like to get into that with you a little further, because I believe that this character should be the boy's father."
