Christopher Pike

In the Prime Universe, Christopher Pike was confined to a theologically advanced life-support system following the heroic rescue of cadets in a training accident that left him badly injured. His former science officer, Spock, risked court martial to see that Pike had the opportunity to live out his days in an illusory world on the planet of Talos IV. His counterpart in the alternate reality created by the temporal incursion of 2233 came to a more premature end. After being tortured by the time-traveling Romulan, Nero, the newly promoted Admiral Pike was killed during Kahn Noonien Singh's attack on StarFleet Headquarters in 2259.
