Biography [ ]

Starfleet's fallen hero [ ].

Garth emerged from Starfleet Academy to make good on his promise as a star pupil. Among contemporaries like Captains Pike and Garrovick , Garth became known as an eminent explorer, with a distinguished record for charting new worlds . As a tactician, he was a pivotal figure in the Federation victory at the crucial Battle of Axanar . His exploits were immortalized in his own time, becoming required reading at the Academy and inspiring members of a new wave of young officers.

His legacy was tarnished following the accident that left him badly maimed and near death . The gentle beings of Antos IV nursed him in his darkest hour, and gifted him with their technique of cellular metamorphosis to repair his mangled body. In gratitude, he "offered them the galaxy" – an offer refused. By this point, he was no longer the honored captain of the history books , and his diseased mind found such offense in Antos' rejection that he ordered his forces to annihilate the entire species. Whatever loyalty he once inspired in his crews vanished, and they refused his order. Federation authorities deemed it appropriate that Garth be sent to an asylum for the criminally insane. By 2268 , he was in a ward of Elba II .

Exile on Elba II [ ]

"Lord" Garth

The isolated asylum was a formidable cage to house the fifteen most incorrigibly dangerous and unstable outcasts of Federation society. Beyond internal security measures, the facility was surrounded by a powerful force field that blocked transporter activity and could even withstand the orbital bombardment from a starship. Outside the asylum dome on the planet's surface was no option considering Elba II's poisonous atmosphere. Effectively blocked from escape, Garth was limited to whatever freedoms he could find within the asylum.

Garth's sanity may have abandoned him, but his cleverness remained. In the time following his convalescence on Antos IV, Garth had secretly expanded his control of the transformative gift that had saved his life. Far beyond repairing damaged flesh, Garth amassed enough skill to assume the appearance of others, down to the sound of their voice and their clothing. He revealed his talent by taking the form of the asylum's Governor , Donald Cory , and convincing a guard to release him from his cell. The inmates were soon running the asylum, and all of them swore allegiance to their benefactor, "Lord" Garth.

The self-styled potentate stoked his dreams of empire-building while he reinforced his control over a petty kingdom. He manufactured a chemical explosive of substantial strength from available materials (and claimed it was the most potent weapon in history) and transformed a rehabilitation chair into an instrument of torture – taking great pleasure in tormenting his former overseer, Governor Cory. He found the time to court the most beautiful woman on the planet, eventually taking her as his "royal consort ." The green-skinned pathological liar Marta consistently tested Garth's infantile patience, but he endured her, as the seductive dancer was the only woman on the planet.

Queen to Queen's level three [ ]

Garth's best chance to escape his exile came as the USS Enterprise entered orbit around Elba II for the delivery of revolutionary new medicines. Garth greeted Captain James T. Kirk and his first officer , Spock , in the genial guise of Donald Cory, and presented the asylum's image as the visiting officers expected, including viewing inmates in their cells, all except Garth's supposed cell, inhabited by a practically crucified Governor Cory. Once the Enterprise officers were secured, Garth revealed himself and declared his ambitions for galactic domination, backed by his new cadre of followers, "the future masters of the universe ".

The form of Kirk seized his long-awaited moment of escape, and Garth contacted the Enterprise , asking to be beamed aboard. Chief Engineer Scott , at the conn , answered the request with a chess-code challenge, "Queen to Queen's level three," dashing Garth's hope for a prompt escape. Garth raged that his great escape had been so easily countered. Garth insisted he would "shatter every bone in Captain Kirk's body" to gain control of the Enterprise . Moments later, he invited Kirk and Spock to a little dinner and light entertainment.

Spock's choice

Kirk, who professed to hero-worship, and Spock endured Garth's musings on his greatness. Flattery and offers of command in Garth's fleets were answered with reminders of Garth's former life and some key benefits of the formation of the Federation. A subtle segue into Kirk's thoughts on chess revealed nothing, faithless Marta's attempt to seduce (and kill) Kirk failed. Impersonating Spock, in a third attempt to learn the chess counter-phrase, was useless. A magnificent self-coronation ceremony and bestowing the honor of "heir apparent" left Kirk unimpressed. Even sacrificing Marta to the elements of Elba II and "mercifully" using her to demonstrate a sample of his new explosive, bore no fruit.

Garth's final gambit, once again assuming Kirk's visage in the hopes of confusing his first officer, was unable to prevent Spock's eventual identification of his true captain. Garth was subdued, and his followers were returned to their confinement. Cory and Dr. McCoy began to administer the new drug therapy to the asylum's patients with optimism.

Return to Sanity [ ]

Garth following treatment

Before the Enterprise departed, Kirk was at last able to catch a glimpse of the hero of his youth. With the help of the new medicine, Garth seemed to be emerging out of a fog, somewhat bewildered. Kirk identified himself and the name meant nothing, but the words "starship" and "captain" sunk in, and clearly held meaning. Garth raised his hand to shake Kirk's. ( TOS : " Whom Gods Destroy ")

Image of Garth in Enterprise -D computer

A photo of Garth and a biography of him were present in the USS Enterprise -D 's library computer . They were visible when, in 2364 , Data was assimilating Dixon Hill novels . ( TNG : " The Big Goodbye ")

Memorable quotes [ ]

" We are going to take the Enterprise . Do you hear me? We are going to take her if I have to shatter every bone in Captain Kirk's body. "

" I may have you beaten to death. " " No, you won't, because I am the most beautiful woman on this planet. " " You're the only woman on this planet, you stupid cow! "

" You wrote that? " " Yesterday, as a matter of fact. " " It was written by an Earth man named Shakespeare a long time ago! " " Which does not alter the fact that I wrote it again yesterday! "

" What is your reaction, Mr. Spock? " " Well, I find it, uh, mildly interesting and somewhat nostalgic, if I understand the use of that word. " " "Nostalgic?" " " Yes. It is somewhat reminiscent of the dances that Vulcan children do in nursery school. Of course, the children are not so... well-coordinated."

" You, Captain, are second only to me… as the finest military commander in the galaxy. "

" Should I know you, sir? " " No…Captain."

• TNG : " The Big Goodbye " (sketch)

Background information [ ]

Garth, while appearing as himself, was portrayed by Steve Ihnat . William Shatner , Leonard Nimoy , and Keye Luke portrayed the character in the forms of Kirk, Spock, and Cory respectively.

The first draft script of "Whom Gods Destroy" (dated 5 September 1968 ) referred to him as "Garth of Titan". [1] It was Kellam de Forest who proposed the name change to "Garth of Izar", suggesting the alteration if the citation of a place was "meant to indicate an exploit." The switch was recommended in a series of research notes de Forest sent Gene Roddenberry on 10 September 1968. In that same document, de Forest also noted that the source of Garth's name was Thomas Garth (1872-1939), who was an American psychologist and a world authority on racial traits and psychology.

In " The Big Goodbye ", an illustration of Garth of Izar can be seen while Data is assimilating the Dixon Hill novels. This illustration was from the FASA RPG module The Federation .

Garth of Izar was one candidate rumored to possibly be an antagonist in the film Star Trek Into Darkness . Before the movie was released, a name for the villain was revealed to be " John Harrison ", though whether this was his actual name or merely an alias was undisclosed. Star Trek Magazine  issue 172 , p. 33, in the lead-up to the film's release, speculated a fifty-five percent probability that the character would turn out to be Garth of Izar.

Apocrypha [ ]

Garth of Izar was the main antagonist in the popular comic book storyline " Who Killed Captain Kirk? " from DC TOS volume 1 . As revealed in the issue " Finnegan's Wake! ", after his rehabilitation, Garth was put into menial tasks as Starfleet was afraid of letting "damaged goods" return to duty. Frustrated, Garth escaped and sought revenge against the Federation and Kirk in particular.

The RPG sourcebook The Federation gives his full name as Kelvar Garth and claims he was born in Trelemarcas, Izar. According to another sourcebook, The Four Years War , Garth commanded the Marklin-class destroyer USS Xenophon and defended the planet Axanar from a Klingon invasion.

A sequel novel to " Whom Gods Destroy " was written and published by Pocket Books in 2002, entitled Garth of Izar . The novel established that Garth's ship at the time of his injury was the USS Heisenberg , and that when his crew attempted to relieve him of command, Garth vaporized his first and second officers with a phaser before he was subdued. The novel depicted a now-rehabilitated Garth assisting the crew in averting a civil war on Antos IV, some of whose inhabitants had taken up arms after their initial encounter with Garth.

Garth's mirror universe counterpart, Kelvar Leonard Garth ( β ) appeared in the novel The Sorrows of Empire ; he was the Grand Admiral of the Imperial Starfleet and, like his prime universe counterpart, he possessed the shape-changing ability taught by the Antosians. Correctly guessing the true nature of Spock 's rise to power using the Tantalus field , Garth ran afoul of the same chess solution that foiled his prime counterpart in " Whom Gods Destroy ", before he was himself "disappeared" by the device – courtesy of Marlena Moreau . His co-conspirators involved the mirror counterparts of Marta and Governor Cory. Garth was succeeded as commander of Starfleet by the mirror counterpart of Matt Decker .

In the Myriad Universes story A Less Perfect Union , which took place in an alternate timeline in which John Frederick Paxton destroyed Starfleet Command and ended the talks for the Coalition of Planets in 2155 , Garth served as the commander-in-chief of the United Earth Starfleet during the early 2260s . He was the youngest person to have held that position, having been appointed to it following his victory at the First Battle of Axanar .

Garth was known for his low tolerance for failure among his subordinates. In 2264 , he attended an "unofficial" meeting in which he, Admiral Wes Komack , and Prime Minister Carter Winston informed Captain Christopher Pike of the UESS Enterprise ( β ) that he was to transport Lady T'Pol and Ambassadors Nancy Hedford and Garrett Tarses ( β ) to Babel where they were to petition for United Earth 's admission into the Interstellar Coalition ( β ).

'Star Trek: Discovery’ Cast: Captain Garth Of Izar, Maniacal White Dude, Fits The Facts Nicely

• Share on Pocket

There are just enough tantalizing clues about the setting and characters of Star Trek: Discovery to enable all sorts of delicious speculation. In short, we know that Discovery will be set in the Prime continuity about 10 years before Star Trek: The Original Series and will have a female lead (likely a minority woman modeled after astronaut Mae Jemison). But the biggest divergence from past Trek shows is that Star Trek: Discovery will not focus on the ship’s captain. Instead, the lead will be a Lieutenant Commander (making her a likely candidate for First Officer).

Which raises an obvious question: if our main character isn’t captain of the USS Discovery NCC-1031, who is?

What if the captain of the Discovery is legendary hero of the Federation, Garth of Izar?

Hear me out on this, it actually fits the facts we know about Star Trek: Discovery quite nicely.

Discovery showrunner Bryan Fuller has made it clear that diversity is an important component of how he sees Star Trek and it’s something he’d like to push further than previous Trek series. That means more minority characters, more women, a gay character and more aliens on the crew. “ Star Trek started with a wonderful expression of diversity in its cast,” Fuller said. “We’re absolutely continuing that tradition.”

Diversity will also play into the plot for the first season of Star Trek: Discovery . Here’s how Fuller described the journey taken by the main character: “In order to understand something that is so completely alien from her, she must first understand herself. That’s part of our journey on this planet, to get along, and that’s part of our journey in this first season.”

If the protagonist isn’t the captain, perhaps that means the main characters will stand in opposition to the captain. The most obvious foil for a show about the virtues of diversity would be a rigid white man, the archetypal main character that’s defined so much of television for so long, literally pitting a new, more diverse paradigm against ossified character models. This was a sub-theme of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine as well, which confronted racism head-on with episodes like “Far Beyond the Stars,” about a black sci-fi writer in a society that won’t accept his vision of a space station commanded by Benjamin Sisko, a black man.

But still, this hardly points to Garth of Izar, until we consider the time period and plot of Star Trek: Discovery . “There’s an incident, an event, in the history of Starfleet that has been talked about (in previous Star Trek shows), but never fully explored,” Fuller said, describing the origin for the plot of Star Trek: Discovery .

It’s been widely assumed that Discovery will deal with the ongoing cold war between the United Federation of Planets and the Klingon Empire, which didn’t end until nearly 40 years after the events of Star Trek: Discovery . One of the pivotal moments in the hotter stage of this conflict was the Battle of Axanar (perhaps, the presumed backstory behind the Battle of Axanar is of questionable and confusing canonicity ), during which Garth of Izar saved the Federation.

The fan film Axanar , which has been at the center of a contentious lawsuit, pegs the Battle of Axanar as taking place in 2245, a decade before Discovery and 20 years before the Enterprise embarked on its five-year mission in Star Trek: The Original Series . During the time of Star Trek: Discovery , Garth of Izar would have been the ultimate war hero, a decorated officer whose record was second-to-none.

But then everything went wrong for good ol’ Garth. Sometime in these intervening years he suffered a horrible injury, was cured by aliens, went mad and ordered those under his command to conduct genocide against those same aliens. His crew refused and Garth was carted away to an insane asylum on Elba II, where Captain Kirk would encounter him in the Star Trek episode “Whom Gods Destroy.”

Everything we know about Garth of Izar is vague, since most of what we know comes from Kirk’s hastily sketched backstory, establishing Garth as a hero just before making him the shapeshifting villain of the one episode in which he appears.

But we know that Garth of Izar was a central character in a pivotal incident “in the history of Starfleet that has been talked about, but never fully explored.” Just as the Battle of Axanar has never been developed at length in a Star Trek series, neither has Garth of Izar’s sad downfall from Federation war hero to maniacal inmate.

So we have a famous white male captain, ordering a diverse crew to more and more horrific acts against an alien race in the midst of an ongoing conflict, until his crew (and his Lieutenant Commander) have no choice but to rebel. Such a story would fit the time period, the themes… everything we know about Star Trek: Discovery .

Moreover, it fits a powerful and oft-explored Star Trek narrative mold. Star Trek is full of Starfleet officers who have seen the dark side and struggled to return to the light of peace and the rule of law offered by the Federation: Commodore Decker (TOS: “The Doomsday Machine”), Captain Benjamin Maxwell (TNG: “The Wounded”) and even the villain of Star Trek Beyond , Balthazar Edison.

Yes, this is very much a guess. Perhaps there’s some minor point of canon I missed in formulating it. But for now this feels like a great fit for the evidence, tying Star Trek: Discovery into both hardcore canon and some of Trek ’s most resonant themes. We’ll see whether any of this speculation came close when Discovery premieres in early 2017.

• Garth of Izar

The return of a great villain – and former hero. Once a Starfleet legend, Captain Garth lost his mind, and with it his reputation. Now supposedly cured, Garth must build a new life in a universe that worships his memory but no longer trusts him. Captain Garth of Izar, hero of the battle of Axanar which helped secure the future of the Federation, was once a legendary Starfleet Captain whose exploits were required reading at Starfleet Academy. In the 2260s he suffered serious injuries in an incident on Antos IV. The inhabitants of Antos repaired his body by teaching him the art of cellular metamorphosis, but did not realise that his injuries had rendered him criminally insane. After ordering the destruction of Antos IV, Garth was committed to the Federation rehab colony on Elba II, where, in 2268, he overpowered his keepers, escaping with the aid of the cellular-metamorphosis process, mastery of which enabled him to take on the appearance of any person he wished. Before his eventual recapture he had proclaimed himself lord of the universe and attempted to commandeer the Starship Enterprise. Now cured of his insanity by new techniques of experimental medicine, Garth of Izar must rebuild his shattered life. The opportunity to do so is provided on a mission to solve a diplomatic crisis – a crisis that requires Garth to return to the very planet that caused his insanity so many years ago.

Quotes 

Marta : [reciting a poem she has written]  Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?/Thou art more lovely and more temperate/Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May/And summer's lease hath all...

Garth : [shouts]  You wrote that?

Marta : Yesterday, as a matter of fact.

Garth : It was written by an Earthman named Shakespeare a long time ago!

Marta : Which does NOT alter the fact that I wrote it again yesterday!

Capt. Kirk : They were humanitarians and statesmen, and they had a dream, a dream that became a reality and spread throughout the stars, a dream that made Mr. Spock and me brothers.

Garth : Mr. Spock, do you consider Capt. Kirk and yourself brothers?

Mr. Spock : Capt. Kirk speaks somewhat figuratively and with undue emotion; however, what he says is logical, and I do, in fact, agree with it.

Garth : I may have you beaten to death.

Marta : No, you won't, because I am the most beautiful woman on this planet.

Garth : You're the only woman on this planet, you stupid cow!

Garth : [as Marta dances]  Marvelous, isn't she, Captain?

Capt. Kirk : Yes, uh... incredible.

Garth : What is your reaction, Mr. Spock?

Mr. Spock : Well, I find it, um... mildly interesting and somewhat nostalgic, if I understand the use of that word.

Garth : Nostalgic?

Mr. Spock : Yes, it is somewhat reminiscent of the dances that Vulcan children do in nursery school.

Marta : Why can't I blow off just one of his ears?

Garth : Stop that, Marta. Mr. Spock will think you're lacking in hospitality.

Garth : On you knees before me! All the others before me have failed: Alexander, Caesar, Napoleon, Hitler, Lee Kuan, Krotus. All of them are dust!

Garth : Silence! The chatter of inferior weaklings wearies me.

Mr. Spock : How could you, a starship fleet captain, believe that a Federation crew would blindly obey your order to destroy the entire Antos race, a people famous for their benevolence and peaceful pursuits?

Garth : That was my only miscalculation.

Garth : Marta, my dear, won't you dance for our guests.

Captain James T. Kirk : That's very magnanimous of you.

Garth : Well, you'll find that I am magnanimous to friends and merciless to enemies. And, I want you, both of you, to be my friends.

Mr. Spock : On what precisely is our friendship to be based?

Garth : Well, upon the firmest of foundations, Mr. Spock: enlightened self interest.

Garth : Gentlemen, you have eyes... but you cannot see! Galaxies surround us, limitless vistas, and yet the Federation would have US grub away like some ants on some... somewhat larger than usual anthill. But I am not an insect! I am master of the universe and I must claim my domain.

Garth : [after fumbling around with a high explosive]  How are your nerves, Kirk?

Captain James T. Kirk : All I can say, Garth: if it happens to me, it happens to you.

Garth : You do refuse to enter into the spirit of the thing, don't you, Captain? Perhaps you'd like a larger role in the ceremony. You could serve as human sacrifice, for example.

Capt. Kirk : No, I wouldn't enjoy that at all.
