Mahirn

Mahrin was an Andorian thaan or chan in the 23rd century.

He was a good friend Joshua Pike and was the godfather of Josh's son Christopher Pike.

By 2254 Mahrin had risen to be an admiral in Starfleet, based at Starfleet Command. In that year the Klingon Kaaj made a fake message from Mahrin to Chris Pike informing him his father was ill to lure Pike away from his command the USS Enterprise (NCC-1701) to visit his father so that Kaaj might capture and kill him en route. Fortunately shortly after Pike departed Mahrin contacted the Enterprise for some reason, revealing the earlier transmission was a fake and altering the Enterprise to the threat to their captain.
