Vice Admiral Janeway
Vice Admiral Janeway was a Starfleet flag officer and father of two daughters. One of his daughters, Kathryn, was the former captain of the USS Voyager. The admiral died under the polar ice cap of Tau Ceti Prime sometime prior to 2358.
Faux Admiral Janeway
In 2373, an alien lifeform assumed the admiral's identity and tried to lure Janeway to her own death after she had crash-landed on a planet with Chakotay. The alien had invaded her cerebral cortex, causing hallucinations. It told her that she died in the shuttle crash, and tried to convince her she should accept her death. It pretended to be the spirit of her father who had come to help her to the afterlife. The non-corporeal being tried to coax her spirit away from her body so it could feed off of it. She sensed that she was still alive, in her body and that the Doctor was trying to save her. The alien told her that was a hallucination and urged her to come with it. Janeway knew her real father would have wanted her to struggle to survive, and realized that the apparition was not her father. She refused to go, and the alien left her cerebral cortex and she regained consciousness. But he swore that one day she would come to his Matrix and her essence will feed him for a long, long time. (VOY: "Coda")
Background
Vice Admiral Janeway was played by Len Cariou. Admiral Janeway's death was also featured in "Mosaic," a novel by Jeri Taylor. Taylor created the character of Janeway, and established in the book that his first name was Edward.
His first name was given on an okudagram in VOY: "The Killing Game", see the talk page for more information.
A wardrobe error incorrectly placed a 2370s combadge on the admiral's uniform Janeway supposedly wore in the 2350s. His Starfleet uniform was unlike any we had ever seen in Star Trek, but other admirals of the same era wore different uniforms, as evidenced by Mark Jameson and Gregory Quinn in TNG Season 1, circa 2364.
