Nel Apgar

Nel Apgar

Doctor Nel Apgar was a Tanugan scientist.

In 2366, he attempted to develop a Krieger wave converter in his orbiting research station above Tanuga IV. The research was supported by the Federation but he decided to sell the Krieger wave as a weapon. When Will Riker visited him to check on his progress, he became suspicious of Apgar's intentions. Apgar decided to kill him. As Riker was transporting back aboard the Enterprise, Apgar fired a Krieger wave at him, but the beam was reflected back into the station's main reactor by the transporter beam surrounding Riker and Apgar was killed when the station exploded. (TNG: "A Matter of Perspective")

Dr. Apgar was played by actor Mark Margolis.
