Hayden Pope

Hayden Christopher Ivan Pope was a Starfleet junior officer on active duty in the late 23rd century. (Star Trek: Avenger: "Belonging")

Records showed that Pope was born in Ares City, the Martian Colonies, in 2269. He is a nephew of Admiral Helena Pope.


 * It is revealed in the course of the story that the younger Pope was adopted, but it was not revealed if one of his adoptive parents was a sibling or an in-law of the admiral's.

As an ensign, Pope was assigned to USS in 2292 to the Operations division after being the center of controversy on a few different starships — including USS, USS and USS. He improves the efficiency of Avenger's warp engines, which results in the ship being displaced enough to have to realign its SINS.

In the end, Pope was revealed as a higher order noncorporeal being who considers that the Federation is not yet ready for his "improvements", which he then removes from all the ships.

Background
Pope's initials are an anagram of the word "chip" (as in "...off the old block"), which was a hint as to his true origins.
