William J. Theseus was an Admiral stationed at Starbase 55, where he oversaw missions for various starships and ensured the USS Phoenix-X was deployed. He worked exclusively with Section 31, until sometime between 2377 and 2380, when he passed on his duties to Elena and Nelkast. (Star Trek: Phoenix-X: "The Tiloniam System", "Jumpers, Part I", "Possible Regret")

History[]

In 2367, Theseus attempted to feign failure to Section 31, by employing Kod and a time-displaced Daniel and Night Seifer to the transwarp project at Proxima Maintenance Yards, where the series of twenty-three Phoenix-ships were near-destroyed one after the other. ("Secret Occurrences")

In 2375, Theseus negotiated with BOB to keep him on the Phoenix-X as an exchange officer and special counselor to the Captain through recommissioning with the Ferengi Alliance. ("Homespun")

In 2377, Theseus tricked Section 31 into helping the Phoenix-X obtain Larvekken jumpers which, only known to him, contained a powerful computer virus. Unfortunately, the virus escaped. ("Jumpers, Part I & II")

In 2379, while on a diplomatic mission on Tilonus IV, Theseus learned about the USS Atlantis-R's intentions on creating a temporal anomaly that would act as an Omni Nest to give an inhabitant Omni powers.

In 2400, he was back in the Tilonian system and manipulated the Phoenix-X into assisting the Atlantis-R in preparing the Sacred Disorder as an Omni Nest.

In 2404, Theseus manipilated a conflict between a large fleet of Starfleet ships and the Phoenix-X to expedite an anti-cocktail that would in fact do the opposite and support the Omni Nest as he prepared to jump into it himself. Instead, Night Seifer modified the Sacred Disorder into a massive Molecular reversion field/ion storm, effectively damaging Theseus' Omni status while unintentionally turning everyone on each ship young and temporarily wiping their memories. ("Celestial Dynamics")

Work flow[]

Theseus often used Admiral Cloud to do his bidding and his possibly traceable dirty work. Usually, he then had Cloud's memory erased. ("Killing Spree")

Occasionally, Theseus would assign Captain Yuffie Samya as his first officer. ("Deal")

Species[]

It was speculated that Theseus was a powerful alien. ("Guinea Pigs", "Forbidden Crossing, Part III") This was later confirmed as Theseus' achieving imperfect Omni status and communicating with his past self. ("Celestial Dynamics")
