Grimaud

Grimaud was a Betazoid Augment who lived on planet Tagra IV in the late-24th century. He was named after the character in who rarely ever spoke, but communicated through sign language. He chose to communicate telepathically with words and images rather than speaking.

Through genetic modifications, Grimaud had enhanced telepathic abilities which he could not always control. He used telepathic inhibitors and Vulcan meditation techniques to quiet the voices in his head. He had been broken out of a mental institution by Rhys Darcen, who believed the doctors there wanted to completely suppress Grimaud's telepathic abilities. While Darcen dreaded the idea of someone involuntarily probing his thoughts, he also believed Grimaud's gifts should not be wasted. (: "Midnight Ride", "Religion To Do Good")
