Gary Seven

Gary Seven is the major character in the last episode of the second season of the original Star Trek television series, "Assignment: Earth". Seven was sent to Earth in 1968 to discover why his superiors lost contact with Agent 201 and Agent 347. When he discovered they were killed in an automobile accident, he assumed their mission. Using advanced alien technology, including the Beta 5 computer hidden in his office in Apartment 12B at 811 East 68th Street in New York City, he continued the dead agents' mission to make sure mankind did not destroy itself with nuclear weapons. While en route to Earth, his transporter beam was inadvertently intercepted by the USS Enterprise, which made it appear as if the Enterprise crew would prevent him from stopping the upcoming launch of a nuclear missile. Seven's efforts were eventually successful, as he used the Beta 5 exceiver circuits to cause the third stage of the American rocket to malfunction. It veered off course and the warhead exploded 104 miles above ground. This caused the nuclear powers to re-assess the risks of an orbiting nuclear platform. He remained behind on Earth to carry out other missions with his assistants: Roberta Lincoln, a Human female from Earth of that time period to whom he accidentally described his mission, and Isis, his mysterious cat. Although Seven is human, he manifests at least one non-human feature: he is immune to the impact of the Vulcan nerve pinch, an ability very few human or humanoid characters of the Star Trek universe ever manifested. Seven utilizes a small pen-shaped device called a servo. It functions as a communication device, a remote control to his personal transporter, a handheld weapon with both stun and kill settings and enough precision to manipulate technology at a distance.
