Theodore Haskins

Doctor Theodore Haskins was a scientist from the American Continent Institute present on the SS Columbia expedition. He was killed when the ship crashed on Talos IV in 2236. The Talosians, however, recreated an image of Haskins in 2254 as part of their attempt to lure the crew of the USS Enterprise (NCC-1701) to the planet's surface.

Haskins was named for associate producer Byron Haskin. (Star Trek Encyclopedia 3rd ed., p. 184) In the second revised script of "The Cage", the character is consistently referred to as "1st Survivor", even after he announces his name.
