Appears in The Next Generation (S02E10 "The Dauphin") and is observed maintaining discipline and operational continuity during high‑pressure bridge operations.

An unnamed young Starfleet ensign who performs a brief but telling Ten-Forward beat, embodying everyday youth aboard the Enterprise. He sits with buddies, notices a table of attractive women, excuses himself, and initiates light flirtation — approaching, holding hands, and seeking casual connection. His presence supplies social texture to the episode, contrasting the ethical and parental stakes unfolding around Lal and Data. Motivated by curiosity, companionship, and adolescent bravado, he functions as a background yet narratively useful counterpoint to the adult characters' debates about personhood and guardianship.

His role underscores routine social dynamics among junior officers. Appears in 'Man of the People' (S6E3) and is also referenced as a bar patron/ensign at Ten-Forward.
