Future Guy
"Future Guy" (also known as the "humanoid figure") was a mysterious individual who was the leader of a faction in the Temporal Cold War.
Future Guy was the leader of a faction in the 29th century and lead a fleet of starships back in time to invade 2387 in aid of altering the future for his own obsession with galactic conquest. However, the Battle of Beta Frontier was won by the Federation. Future Guy, having somehow survived the battle, returned to his time where he made the decision to make changes even further back into the 22nd century (PNR: "Destiny Of Freedom").
He rebuilt his faction (partly made up of survivors of the Battle of Beta Frontier) intent on chaning the 22nd century to suit his needs. Unfortunatly for him however, minor changes in the 24th century timeline caused by the invasion meant that he had the technology only to communicate through time, not travel through it. (ENT: "Cold Front")
The USS Pioneer once again encountered him later in 2387 where it eventually became clear he had given technology to the Sentrath to travel to the Gateway system and destroy Starfleet. His plan was again foiled and his name was learned: Braxton. (PNR: "Time's Legacy").
After this, he provided the 22nd century Suliban Cabal with advanced technology, including cloaking devices, weaponry, and advanced genetic engineering techniques. He used the Cabal as tools to alter events in the 22nd century, and communicated with his agents through a hazy temporal communications chamber. (ENT: "Broken Bow")
Plots of his included attacking the Tandarans, trying to start a civil war in the Klingon Empire, stealing Daniels's Temporal Observatory, and destroying Paraagan II so the NX-01 Enterprise would be recalled. The Enterprise crew (with assistance from non-Cabal Suliban such as Sarin) foiled many of these plans. (ENT: "Broken Bow", "Cold Front", "Detained", "Shockwave", "Shockwave, Part II")
After Daniels' removal of Jonathan Archer from the Enterprise inadvertently caused the destruction of civilization on Earth sometime prior to the 31st century, Silik (leader of the Cabal) was unable to communicate with his master. This remained the case until Archer was able to return to March 2152, restoring the timeline. (ENT: "Shockwave", "Shockwave, Part II")
Following the first Xindi attack on Earth in March 2153, Future Guy summoned Archer to speak with him; he provided crucial information about who was behind the attack and why. He also gave Archer proof that the Xindi were being manipulated by beings from the future – he told Archer to look for a component of the weapon that gave a negative quantum dating signature. (ENT: "The Expanse")
Future Guy made several attempts to recover more advanced time technology. In late 2152 he dispatched a starship to recover a 31st century time pod, though the ship was defeated by Enterprise and the Tholians. In February 2154, he realized Daniels was going to send Enterprise to 1944 to repair the damage done to the timeline by Vosk, so he had Silik infilitrate the ship beforehand so he could steal the plans for Vosk's temporal conduit. Future Guy's plans were stymied yet again when Silik died on the mission. (ENT: "Future Tense", "Shockwave", "Shockwave, Part II")
Tom Marvolo Riddle, also known as "Voldemort."
