Alexander
Alexander was a resident of Platonius who, unlike the other Platonians, did not have the power of psychokinesis. He was a dwarf who served as jester and slave to the other Platonians.
In 2268, the USS Enterprise arrived at Platonius. Enterprise chief medical officer Leonard McCoy determined that the others got their power from the food native to Platonius, and that something in Alexander's metabolism had kept him from acquiring the powers.
Alexander would help the Enterprise crew escape from the planet when the inhabitants refused to let them leave, preferring to keep them as slaves and use them for amusment. Afterwards, he would depart Platonius aboard the Enterprise. (TOS: "Plato's Stepchildren")
- Alexander was played by actor Michael Dunn.
