Ayden Blake (Flashpoint)

Jhalib Ekal.

Jhalib Ekal is a Rigelian from Rigel V, with a diverse biology and background. He sports a head of curly brown hair, brown eyes, is clean-shaven and generally in "pristine condition", often found wearing crisp modern clothing, always alert and fully aware of everything around him.

In 2395, Ekal completed small work on Star Station Esperance, and literally bumped into Sky Blake on a station turbolift. Convinced he looked familiar, she asks if they'd met before, though he claims to merely have worked behind the bar of the officer's lounge aboard the USS Ronin. Though he wasn't told of her destination, he tells Blake to "enjoy the wedding" of Mei'konda and Evan Delano.

Ekal was later seen aboard the SS Rowena as it dropped two Starfleet officers back to Kidman I after rescuing them from a malfunctioning escape pod, performing minor upgrades to the freighter's sensor equipment. He would be asked by the freighter's captain to take apart the escape pod.

On Star Station Esperance in 239508, Ekal would meet with Roshanara Rahman and Mei'konda to individually restore their memories of a premature trip to the USS Veritas, claiming to be with the Department of Temporal Investigations - and providing documentation to prove it. Though he fails to explain the reasoning to Mei'konda, he separately admits to Rahman that the two had perhaps caught a glimpse of something vital to an investigation he was undertaking when they inadvertently entered a second temporal anomaly on their return trip to the USS Mercury. He asks Rahman to describe a battle between Starfleet and Tholian factions, specifically asking whom fired first - though the answer she provides (being a Starfleet quantum torpedo) causes him disappointment. Before she can further ask about the investigation, Ekal vanishes.
