Jonathan Archer was an admiral in Starfleet.
In 2257, Montgomery Scott attempted to prove his theories about transwarp beaming by beaming Admiral Archer's prize beagle. The dog was never seen again, and when Scott was transferrred to a small, cold, and almost forgotten research outpost on Delta Vega, he believed that his blunter was the reason he ended up there. (Star Trek)
Archer's first name wasn't used on screen, but Star Trek writers Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci confirmed that the Archer mentioned in Star Trek is a reference to Enterprise, [1] and later confirmed that it is, indeed, the same Jonathan Archer. [2] Jonathan Archer would be 145 in 2257, although it was never actually stated when Scotty used the dog.
At the very end of the novelization of Star Trek, "Archer's prized beagle" rematerialized on the Enterprise transporter pads, moments before the ship jumped to warp on its new voyage.
