Gathorel Labin

From Memory Alpha, the free Star Trek reference

Gathorel Labin was a Sikarian magistrate who invited the crew of the USS Voyager to his home planet in 2371. Gathorel preferred to be called simply Gath. He became attracted to Captain Kathryn Janeway, and spent much time with her on his planet. Janeway discovered that the Sikarians had technology called a spatial trajector which folded space and made it possible to travel thousands of light years in seconds. She asked Gath for this technology. He explained that his planet's prime directive prevented them from sharing their technology with less-advanced races. Janeway asked Gath that if he would not give them the technology, could the Sikarians send Voyager as far as possible in exchange for "stories", which were treasured on this pleasure-loving planet. Gath insisted on discussing the proposition with the other Sikarian magistrates, but he was in no hurry to do so. He did invite the crew to stay on his planet, but they refused. Disobeying orders, several members of the crew got the technology on the black market, but it was incompatible with Federation technology. (VOY: "Prime Factors")

[edit] Apocrypha

In the Voyager novel trilogy, "Dark Matters", Gath was mentioned as being infected by mutated dark matter. This had caused his selfish love of pleasure to degenerate into sadism. However, in the midst of considering killing a young woman he had severely beaten for sadistic enjoyment, the infection was removed by an alternate universe version of an evolved Kes, which also removed the sadism. He was last mentioned as being horrified over what he had done, and about to go and fetch medical attention for the young woman.

Gath Labin was played by actor Ronald Guttman.
