Keten

Keten was a male Kobali, a former Human killed in 2372 in the line of duty and reborn with the help of Jhet'leya in 2410. 

History
In 2372, Ensign Harry Kim died in the damage his ship, the Federation starship USS Voygaer, suffered in the aftermath of being duplicated in a subspace divergence field. He was replaced with his counterpart from another Voyager, which in turn was destroyed during a Vidiian attack. 

The Kobali, with the assistance of [[Jhet'leya, another former Voyager crew member once known as Lyndsay Ballard, found Ensign Kim's body in space. The Kobali kept Kim's body in a Vaadwaur stasis pod on Kobali Prime for years while they prepared it for the rebirth process.

In 2410, Keten awakened, initially appearing more Human-like than other Kobali. Like Jhet'leya before him, the ex-Human remembered most of his life and rejected his transformation into a Kobali. Harry Kim, his duplicate and now captain of the USS Rhode Island, and another Alpha Quadrant Alliance commanding officer, attempted to reason with the aggravated Keten. Confused and transforming further, Keten wanted to return to Voyager, unaware of the passage of time since his death and that blowing the ship's cover during its secret mission in Krenim space would put Admiral Tuvok and his crew at risk.

Jhet'leya joined Kim and the AQA commander in the chase and exchange of words in the Kobali temple. Keten accused Kim of lying to him and of betrayal for stealing his life. Keten eluded the trio and used Jhet'leya's command codes to transport himself to the KDC and seize control of the battleship prototype.

The Rhode Island and another AQA vessel apprehended the Samsar at a Hirogen relay station, defending it against a Hirogen assault. This prompted Keten to reconsider. Kim, Jhet'leya and the AQA commander beamed aboard and convinced Keten to stand down, and accept his new life. As part of the transformation, Keten began to forget his old life. Jhet'leya explained that Keten would be best of among his new people, the Kobali, but would have the freedom to choose what to make of his new life, including rejoining Starfleet.
