Alfred Bowles

Early Life Little is known of Bowles early life. It was revealed by Picard to Bowles that they attended the starfleet academy together, and knew each other. Picard stated that Bowles proved to be a highly capable officer while at the Academy.

Aboard The Huxley Alfred C. Bowles was captain of the USS Huxley during a mission to the Planet Rampart. After Encountering Hostile fire from the Rampartians, the Huxley Crashed on the Rampartian Planet. Captain Alfred C. Bowles is the only known survivor of the Huxley.

Life On Rampart After Crashing on Rampart CephCom Security (CS) captured him and brainwashed him, implanting false memories and personality in order to use him as the head of CS Security. He was known as "Commander Crichton" while serving with the CS. During his time with the CS, Crichton was responsible for creating propaganda for the CephCom Security and the Council of Truth. He was also responsible in quelling the dissenters, and squashing out "fiction" through various means including interrogation, brainwashing, selective memory removal, and lethal injections.

The End of Cricthon And Bowles Re-Emergence Bowles brainwashing has been incomplete, as was sometimes the case with the CephCom devised process. As contact with the USS Enterprise was made, "Crichton" began to have flashbacks to his live as a starfleet captain, which he believed to be "Science fiction hallucinations". As the Enterprise came closer and furthered its contact and operations with the Rampartians, the flashbacks became worse, until moments before the dissenters are to be executed a haguya appears and crichtons past life as Starfleet Captain Alfred C. Bowles overcomes his implanted persona, over ten years after his initial brainwashing.

Re-Joining with Starfleet Moments before the Enterprise is about to engage the warp drive and leave rampartian space, a signal is recieved from the rampartian surface. Bowles, who had CephCom Security was still under the impression was Crichton (though only for a limited time) was able to retrieve a communicator which had been confiscated from the Enterprise Away team upon there arrest. After Identifying himself as Captain Alfred C. Bowles of the USS Huxley he was beamed to the enterprise, where he debriefed Picard and Troi.
